    Just been trying to find a list of Torch artists via google. There aint one as far as I can see. Pity that. There must be people with memorabillia who can help. &

Sandi Sheldon and The Orlons at The Rocket....Sandi was a true lady and brought Rose Mcoy with her.Chris lalor was chaeuffeur.

Were they on the same time as Sam and Dave? remember the saxaphone player got a huge ovation,was it not the one that became the last night? meaning it turned into an all-dayer

Oscar Toney junior was brilliant :hatsoff2:

Oscar was amazing that night..I saw him again at the Hardrock not long after, on the same bill as Al Greene & Margie Joseph. No dont think Sam & Dave were on the same bill as Detroit Emeralds were they?

Not an allnighter, but one of my earliest 1972 ( possibly late '71)

At a Salford Cabaret Club ( if you can believe that!!), "The Georgian Club"

The Mighty

Ben E. King.

and in the same bill

Del Shannon :ohmy:

I sh*t you not.

Linda & the funky boys at Wigan,don't know why I bothered though,they never came to see me when I was bad!

I recall they appeared twice in 76?

Saw Martha Reeves recently,had to check my ticket when she came on,thought I'd booked for Arthur Reeves!..she hasn't aged well.

Not read the entire thread so apologies if it's already been covered. I saw Eddie Holman at Hinckley Leisure Centre - that boy can sing! Apparently he does voluntary work with poor people in Philly.

Warina 1984 - Eddie Holman, Jnr Walker same night (Major Lance didn't show)

TOTW Gene Chandler, Edwin Starr early 80s

Hinckley - Chuck Jackson early 80s

Usually backed by Snake Davis....plus quite a few sheets with the lyrics on...

At the time didn't appreciate the live shows, just wanted to dance to records...turns out these we're the most memorable nights!

Junior Walker St Ivo May 77...

I've mentioned this on here before,Years ago I may add,

The Ritz all dayer Manchester circa 76 ish

Not the greatest of gigs but certainly one of the funniest,

Barbara Pennington,Evelyn Thomas & L J Johnson,

Anyway if you remember the old Ritz,The stage was revolving,The centre bit turned,So they could get another group on quicker etc.

Anyway time for L J Johnson to do Your Magic Put A Spell On Me,

He sits on his stool and starts to play away,Only his stool was on the revolving bit,But his piano was on the static part of the stage,

Half way through the stage starts to turn,He moves but the piano stays still,One of those you had to be there moments,Piss yerself funny at the time !!

A suspiciously young looking Flirtations at Morecambe in about 85?

THE TORCH

THE STYLISTICS OCT 28TH 1972

THE DRIFTERS OCT 14TH 1972

ARCHIE BELL DEC 31ST 1972

THE WIRRINA

THE EXCITERS 2ND JULY 1976
