Kinda hard to pick a top fifty tunes out of last night's offerings at a brilliant 100 Club let alone just five ... :hypo: ... but a few that stuck in my ear.

1. "Force" - "Holy Moses" -  Streaker ... Colin Law    (should have taken more notes from his superb sets , hopefully he'll post a playlist as they were pretty much all new to my old ears ... :rofl: )

2. "International Four" on Diane ... Colin again ( guessing it was Equal Love as it's the only thing I could find by them online , if anyone has a soundfile they could post (SteveG ?) I'd be eternally grateful as I don't know when I'll get to hear it out again)

3. "T.S.U. Tornadoes" on Ovide , instrumental  ... ???   ... Butch 

4. Kitch's Alice Clark - Heartbreak ??? ... Will pester Alan for a playlist too as they were like Colins ,  two great sets of stuff that had me scratching my head.

5. "Wooden Nickels" - "Nobody But You" - Omen , can't remember who spun it ... ?

My top 5 from the weekend -

‘The Parliaments - Heart Trouble’. Played by Andy Dyson in the main room at The Bury All-nighter - It really ‘hit the spot’

‘Enchantments - I'm In Love With Your Daughter’. Played by Denny Johnson in the main room at the Bury All-nighter. Again, just ‘hit the spot’ (A great DJ is Denny)

‘Jackie Beavers - Come back my love’. Played by Gibby in The Kenwood Suite at The Bury All-nighter.

‘Billy Stewart - Count Me Out’. Played by Simon Ingham in The Kenwood Suite at The Bury All-nighter.

‘Tommy Frontera - (You're My) Leading Lady’. Played by me in The Kenwood Suite at The Bury All-nighter.

Nothing ‘super new’ on my list, but sometimes a record just sounds so right :wink:

All the best,

Len :thumbsup:

  • Bobby Reed - time is right for love
  • Unissued Mark IV (absolutely stunning, from Raoul and not the ones he's just released)
  • Force - Holy Moses
  • Gloria Scott - a case of too much love making

 

All over the weekend at SSW7 in Silloth

Yes your right Steve, I get more free time these days than I use to as I was always tied up every weekend doing mainstream dj-ing (lets all have a disco :rofl: ) stuff, so nice for me to get to the Soul nights now and enjoy listening to what I have loved since a youngster,just like your goodself. :) :hatsoff2:

Hard to pick just five from Manchester Soul Weekender but here goes

 

  1. Tonny Hymes - time ain't gonna do me no favours
  2. Sag War Fare - girl you better change
  3. Glen Miller - where is the love
  4. Billy Garner - you're wasting my time
