This one will be very busy.

Northern Soul's 200 Greatest Floorfillers.

There are no actual printed invitations, but everyone who has e-mailed this e-mail address will most definitely be on the guest list, which I am compiling from these e-mails.

Please do come.

-------------------------

We're having a launch party to celebrate the release of the five disc DVD set, "Northern Soul's 200 Greatest Floorfillers"

The Ion Bar is where we held our wonderful launch parties for "Disco2008" and "Northern Soul 2008".

It's the can't miss occasion of the year, by private invitation only.

Huge venue with two levels, and a great stage, and ample seating for everyone in comfort with huge couches and armchairs and tables.

The venue is right next door to Ladbroke Grove tube station, literally next door. Plus there is tons and tons of free parking round the back of the club.

We expect four hundred at least.

Warmest wishes and gratitude

Actually I'd avoid one of the 99p copies, looking through the sellers feedback I came across this:

5 out of 5: "fast delivery, good condition jewel case, only a few finger prints on CD, one pubic hair"

Date: 2008/9/11 Rated by Buyer: bdombrowsky2

Seller Response: "???????" Date: 2008/9/12

Some people would pay a premium for the pubic hair LOL.........

We all knew that we would loose Levi someday , but the news of his passing is still a shock .........

If you are not touched by watching the clip , and as you say Ian , and shed a tear - or be near to shedding one , you should be ashamed of yourself ........

Thankyou Levi : RIP dear man .........

Malc Burton

I think that performance is one of the most touching I have ever seen in my life.

Even sadder when you think that Obie has gone too.

I have never been able to put this up here till now, because I was saving it for a long time before I finally posted it up on YouTube, which I only finally did tonight.

My very very favourite record I have ever produced in my entire life.

For someone who'd sold as many records as he had, he was one of the nicest and most un-egotistical and humble men I have ever had the privilege of meeting in my life.

Will there be any food there Ian? Hope you dont mind me asking

There will indeed, but you have to pay for it.

The entrance is free, the music and acts are free, but the club charges for drinks and food.

But it is the most fabulous venue, the best I have ever done anything in, and that's why I was so keen to secure it.

Did you see I posted up the Nat Augustin video ??

F*%k it. ph34r.gif

I just spent 20 minutes composing a beautiful reply with TONS of relevent stuff in it (I have to do the Manifesto review for "Northern Soul's 200 Greatest Floorfillers" this weekend, etc, etc).

It was probably the best thing I've written all week!

But I accidentaly snapped-off the Wireless switch on my CRAP HP laptop and lost it all!!!!

C'est la vie. So What?

Levi died tonight and I'm feeling very poignant.

The Nat song is great and will be the third release on Soul Intention Records. Also could you post the 'B' side as well, as I think this is a brilliant double-sider.

Incidentaly, Nat's family to me, as I'm best mates with his Light Of The World colleague, Gee Bello.

So does Nat know I'm involved?

I don't think the Ion Bar will be too wild about people bringing their own sandwiches, do you ???

I never lost Simon, he's just chilling out, away from all of us.

A question for you Ian .........

The excellent Bank Holiday Monday All - Dayer at The Mecca , that featured Brass Construction .......

The Highland Room on this day was " dedicated " to " northern " sounds ( as opposed to the main room , which featured disco / funk ) , and was billed as having a line up of Richard , Pat Brady , Brian Rae , Ginger , and one certain tutor of educational information

( retired ) ......

Your differences of opinion with the stated chap at the time , were common knowledge / well documented , and I seem to recall , you stated that he would never stand behing the decks of the HR whilst you were there ..........

I cannot recall as to whether he was there and did a spot in the HR , but if he did , did it urinate you off ?

What year was it ??

I seem to rememebr Neil Rushton ran it, and me and Colin were downstairs and I washed my hands of whatever was going on upstairs, but I seem to dimly recall not being too happy about it.

I left in July 1979, so I assume it was before that.

Two questions for you Ian.

If you can't take your own sarnies....is there a chippy close by? :lol:biggrin.gif

Second question. I saw Junior Walker at the Mecca downstairs, early 70s I'd say. My idiot mate says it wasn't there but somewhere else ???? :(

Can you confirm which one of us is senile! :(

I have a photo from it, with me, Tony Petherbridge, and Junior Walker showing me how to play the sax.

It was an alldayer in 1974.

And here it is - actually taken in Blackpool Mecca.
