I’m 68 and still ‘’Living for the  Weekend’’

I’m doing as many events now than when I was 17.

Am I the oldest on Soul Source?

I think Derek Whatmore has outlived you

If you look at the birthdays at the bottom of the forums section there are loads of folk well into there 60s. Are they still active at events etc I'm not sure....I would say your still just a slip of a lad and good luck to to you if your still enjoying it. I have to say that at events/niters there seems lots who are well into there 60,s even 70s, but I know the scene does take it out of you so there possibly a lot younger!!! Kind regards....Rob

I'll be 71 next month. m Most of my close family lives well into their 90s or early 100s.  So, I expect to be around a while.  I'm still working, and I live each year at regular intervals in 5 countries on 2 continents.  So, I move regularly.  I still lift free weights almost every day, still run, swim ski, and played ice hockey until I was 50.  Sadly,  I don't buy records anymore (probably because I will live to be over 100, and will need the money.    Can't attend all-nighters anymore (mostly because I'm seldom in The UK.  But, sometimes I pull an all-nighter drawing cartoons for a heavy deadline.

Your knowledge and memory are amazing Robb, your an interesting chap....what's old these days...can remember when someone reached 80 it was amazing, seems like the norm now....keep posting, it's good reading, thank you..Rob

My good mate Jimmy Buff. Got his bus pass a while back. Still going nighters on a weeklybasis.  Dave the hat from Whitchurch was 70 recently and still seen regularly at nighters up and down the country. Me im just a young un at 58. Been going nighters for 42 years and still do.

He won't thank me for saying this  but our mate Geoff Green is into his 70's and he's a regular at the 100 Club and out just about every weekend!

Brian Rae - still on it at 74, always good for a chat about the old days - who played what record etc etc, I remember years ago I cornered Russ W and Brian ran out of questions of who played what at the Casino , in the early days 73 / 74 - someone really needs to interview all theses jocks get the history written down - legends

Used to sell loads of 45s to Martin in the early seventies. They are probably all topping up his pension pot now!

We both 68.... and we see lots of folk out who look our age. Record collecting, Dj'ing occasionally and dancing keeps us going! 

personally i expect to do more allniters as i get older and wind down the business activities - as i wont have to get up on a monday morning !

Fred, the oldest teenager in Scunny .... but then, the only good thing to come out of Scunny ... is the road to Donny ....
