AlanB Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Something tells me she didn't go down to the BBC vault to collect the correct version I noted that the show wasn't a BBC production. I suspect Sharleen recorded the links then some production assistant who didn't know their stuff inserted the recordings. Wouldn't have happened with Phil the Collector from Sounds of the Sixties. 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Popular Post Ady Croasdell Posted January 1, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2015 Me and Grace watched Mary Poppins a couple of weeks ago when she was poorly. How bad is Dick Van Dyke, I know it's a long running joke but someone should have dubbed his voice. Also it seems about 30 minutes too long. This was the first film I ever saw at the pictures, 1964, Weston Super Mare. That's terrible, I had no idea Mary had been poorly 4 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

pogo paul Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 As she alluded to Elton John is a massive soul fan, and by all accounts used to visit The Wheel in the late 60s before he made it big whenever he was gigging in the North West! Must be him paying the big bucks on Manships auctions? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
TOAD Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Memory is a funny thing. "Heartache Avenue" wasn't released until 1982, well past the closing of The Casino. Hinckley nighter Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Maark Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 A guy I used to know, Andy Vaughan, who came from Ince just outside of Wigan was a big Wigan Athletics fan, and along with co-creating and contributing to The Mudhutter Latics fanzine/website, he's started writing books. One of his first that he co-authored was Pies and Prejudice in 2005, and he doesn't have many kind words to say about Stuart Maconie, who some of you will know had a book published with that same title in 2007. Just googled him to check back and I've seen he has a new book out called Faded Lois Dreams. I had to turn Stuart Maconie off the other day, I thought I'd tuned into Radio South Lancashire by mistake. I think the bloke forgets he has a national audience, either that or his knowledge of anything doesn't extend beyond a 20 mile radius of Wigan.

Seano Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Private Number on now. Not sure why but a nice track. Enders next surely. Show seems to be more about Texas in last quarter hour. So a welcome show, glad it was done. Fun to comment on. A bit more care needed on ensuring right versions. Hopefully it will inspire more. Actually that's it... No enders. Happy new year everyone. I think it may have been an echo back to her performing that track with William Bell a year or two back on Jools' Hootenanny. Loved seeing/hearing him performing 'Happy' this time round!

In fact they may clear some floors. That's what I went out to hear, faster the better when I was a youth. Get on some Dean Parrish or Bobby Paris and get yourself running to the floor. The Sweet Things was played at the Kent Soul Club just before Christmas - seemed to pack the floor! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Still Diggin Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Memory is a funny thing. "Heartache Avenue" wasn't released until 1982, well past the closing of The Casino. You could well be right sir, but given the fact the casino did not close till december 81 and many a pop thing were around as demos or smaller runs before it actually charted i could be right, or maybe i heard him play it somewhere else, as another poster pointed out who also heard him play it. Either way it's crap and should stay in the wayne gibson box. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Orotava Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 FOR GODS SAKE EVERYONES WELCOME TO OUR SOUL PARTY ITS OUR LIVES FOR US TO SHARE THE BEST QUALITY MUSIC THERE IS IN THE WORLD EVERYONE IS WELCOME ITS BEEN A PRIVALAGE FOR ME SINCE 1976 AND WHAT WANT ANYBODY AND EVERYBODY TO SHARE QUALITY. Too right and if, as a result of the show, a couple of hundred people want to explore our music further then that can only be good, eh? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
pow wow mik Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 (edited) Say what you want about Craig Charles byt he did Steve wright's afternoon show on friday - normally strictly an average white guy zone, and for daytime radio, the music was great. About 80% black music, pop and lesser known stuff.. about the ratio it would be if programming were based on quality of music. It was like a parallel universe where racism had never happened, he obviously makes certain demands and good on him Edited January 4, 2015 by pow wow mik 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Twenty years ago, the top 20 rundown used to get over 15 million listeners and 40 years ago I think it was over 20 million.

pow wow mik Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 He got 'ordinary joe' played on national daytime radio, he the man as far as I'm concerned. And I've never listened to his funk show without hearing at least one great new release. it'd be bonafide progress if the alan partridge generation's influence is on the slide and my generation's classics take over Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
