WOW! esplendido! What vitriol,  dave mc really told it like it was [i was cussed for "EG" by PWW M ]  .What would he have to say about todays PC prima donnas?   I knew and adored Dave Mc from his Casino days to his epitaph mag  "soul Galore" in the 90s .in that he created the format ;a label scan and 30 words of wisdom,which has become the norm for todays NS journalistic  itelligensia.  I remember  well a telephone chat in 1989 ,"hey johnny, Brownie thinks im wasting my time with my mag as he has a " technicolour" version waiting in the wings, " he paused for another shreddy,, "You know what I think Ill keep on wasting some more time" Gracias for esplendido posting.

I've only ever seen closely guarded copies of these, and had them read out to me, sadly I haven't got time to read more than a couple of pages at the moment, but was nearly peeing myself with what I did read.  I'll be back for more tomorrow hopefully.  You can understand why Northern soul folk don't like alternative comedians, there was far funnier stuff available years ago.

Just as an aside, as your roving report squire, was there a small room at the Swan? I for the life of me cannot remember it :)

 

belly laughs all the way with this mag ( which was a tad embarrassing on my train commute yesterday), sums up the irreverent nature of the scene in them days, no one was off limits and all were fair game. 

 

Ah my review of Mansfield, as my brief role as "Groovin's" roving reporter (there wasn't a 2nd issue!)

 

Dave had a habit of editing your copy, putting his own jokes in etc. that Pete got the right hump about!! :-)
