Memories of the 1962 Motown Revue View full article

According to Joe Billingslea of the Contours, "some inhospitable Southerners fired rifles at the Motor Town Special tour buses, many of the hotels on that famous 1962 Motown trek were dumps, the buses was hot and rickety, but overall it was a fabulous tour. In 1962, a Detroit photographer came along for the ride, and Curtis E. Woodson’s new book about the trip is being launched this week. “Memories of The 1962 Motown Revue — A Photographic Journal” captures scenes from Motown founder Berry Gordy, Jr.s road show, that featured Marv Johnson, Mary Wells, the Marvelettes, the Miracles, Marvin Gaye, Martha Reeves & the Vandellas, the Contours, the Supremes, Singin Sammy Ward and the Choker Campbell Orchestra. Woodson was the shows official photographer but for more than 40 years, the 100 odd photographs, shot during performances in Washington, D.C., Boston and Birmingham, Ala., have never been published or seen by the public. Photo: Diana Ross, left, Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard of The Supremes and Rosalind Holmes of the Vandellas.

The Verve Music Group and the American Diabetes Association will kick off “Write a Love Letter to Luther,” a national fundraising campaign for musician Luther Vandross, on August 3. “Write a Love Letter to Luther” offers fans the opportunity to write encouraging letters to Vandross, who suffered a diabetes-related stroke earlier this year. The letters will be accompanied by contributions to the American Diabetes Association (ADA). August 3 is being called the “Love Letter to Luther Day” and has gained many supporters around the country, including the mayors of Los Angeles, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Raleigh, N.C. and Dallas. The love letter campaign is being launched in conjunction with Verve’s release of Forever, For Always, For Luther, a benefit CD featuring 10 of Vandross’ greatest hits as performed by fellow soul and jazz musicians. The album was released on July 27. On October 22, a gala will be held in New York City to benefit ADA featuring several of the artists on Forever, For Always, For Luther. At the concert, the ADA will present the love letters to Vandross’ family and announce the results of the fundraising campaign.

Celebrate New Years Eve at The Parkside Social Club, Bramhall, Nr Stockport. Fabulous DJ line up,6 hours of top quality music. Full Hot and Cold Buffet and a free New Years prize draw with some brilliant prizes.I know it is a long way off but anyone wishing to come and stop over in Stockport will have to book hotels etc and also secure their tickets from me as we know it is going to be a sell out. I can supply hotel and taxi information if you ring me on 0161 285 0130 or email me on hitsville45@aol.com but you will have to be quick as we have been round all the hotels and we have found two that are within a mile of the venue and have rooms at very reasonable rates. Thanks. Hopefully see you there. Alan Pollard

Llandudno Niter - review 18 July - on a upper View full article

Llandudno Niter Like the boy who lives next to the school always being late, this event was on 500m from where live and still didn’t manage to get their till 230am, as got attacked my sleep fiend. In past always a bit wary about writing views on local events, as may see it from a different perspective. But nowadays its a case of just do own thing so here you go. Llandudno being my home town am always keen to see such events do well, promoters off this event do things their own way, and at times has to be said in past dont always agree with way do some things. However that’s just my own personal punter view and not important in whole scheme of things. Not sure how many years its been running regular 7? so their methods work. However looking at the line up booked for this one have to say that this line up core looks like was strongest around the uk this weekend mark bicknell carl willingham kev murphy carole roger banks little scotty ricey gary beattie Walked into Mark Bicknell set , who was letting out a strong set of top rarities, Jimmy Burns, Ivories had missed Roger Banks and earlier sets Carl Willingham was up next and carried on his superb form he is in at moment with yet another great set. Highlights being yet again Teardrops Soul (bros?) inc and his latest newie/biggie - Survivours - Baby, heard this first time at New Century other week and have to say its a good one. As more than likely know Carl is retiring from dj-ing with finishing his dj-days at Prestatyn 2005, have to say he is going out on top form, and as said before one his strengths in the range of styles he can push out as the venues/crowd demands. Is there such a thing as 5d as got so many dimensions (groan:) Top stuff and he is sure going to be missed come next year. Kev Murphy double decking with Andy McCabe on next - Sonattas - Going on down the road kicking things off with a set that included a bit of a motown session. 7 O Clock and time for Little Scotty to finish nite, fresh from New century event at Wolverhampton he finished the night as he only does. Heard numbers where up on last one and while healthy as with a fair few events nowadays it could have done with few more just to lift the buzz and feel of nite. Though i certainly enjoyed it. Fair few travelers and few muckers turned up unannounced, London, Cambridge, Stoke, Midland, North West, and so on well represented. Fair few locals there but not as many as last time. Myself though got there late found it most enjoyable, was good to see event on the up and a strong dj line up is always a winner for me. As said Dave P and Garry B do things their own way, they certainly put effort and organization into this event, hopefully the next one in October the first Saturday will continue the upward trend and if main part of dj line up is as strong am sure this event be back on the map with a bang. 8am saw us spilling out to what has to be the best uplifting view from a niter anywhere, Llandudno bay, glorious welsh sunshine as well, unfortunately the alldayers after are no longer at moment so that was that. Next one OCT 2ND Line up as it occurs

Hideaway Club Manchester Lookback 30 Oct 04 View full article
-
Car still dead thanks to the usual yorkshire curse coming into play at lifeline last week, so this weekend was looking grim till was saved by a phone call from Steve offering a lift to the Hideaway up in Manchester. Never been before so yeah why not. Full car set off, dodgy internet maps and fact Picadilly station has 6 fronts led to a bit of a walk from carpark but got there in end. Nites are upstairs in a smart pub and soon as walked in could tell were in for a good nght by feel of place. Place well busy. Good to see Pete Coulson straight away who havent seen for a long time and also bumped into Miss Popcorn who knew but not by her online alais. The Very Best in Club Sixties Club Sounds and New Breed RnB is how it was billed on a old flyer and thats what got with emphasis on the RnB. Have read/heard a right old bag of spanners about RnB in past, as seems with a lot of soul related subjects/terms, just cause some people havent a clue what some terms mean it doesnt stop them making their own defintion up and shouting it. Have heard all sorts refereed to as RnB on travels, espically amongst oldies freaks, if dont know it or not catchy uptempo -it must be RnB, and then usually follows a triade of nonsense quotes that just dont make sense. Well next time someone wants to try give me earache like that I will grab their left ear and drag em straight to next Hideaway, so can actually hear what is a night with a "strong" RnB flavour. Anyway forget the rant, Yep it was a very good nite, when you get djs who know how to dish RnB/soul the right way its as good as it gets, eveything worked and matched well, even version of "enjoy yourself" fitted in with nite. Crowd wise, as said great feel, could tell that was crowd well into enjoying their music and that "into the music" feel gave nite a great buzz. Vinyl wise a lot on offer and lot of stuff that dont usually see , again ... there was that "into the music" feel. Djs line up, apoligies if missed anyone (think I have) think all 3 residents were on, with guest DJ being Hoss with Neil Henderson, Mike Warburton, Paul Welsby , think was a case of 2 sets each, with a special Dave Godin Tribute 3 at end. Scrounged a couple of 5 interesting plays from Hoss and Paul Hoss 5 Interesting Plays: Cora Woods - Flying Home to you baby Oliver Joy - Keep Love Growing Jimmy Ricks - Take a Trip Connectors - Whole Lotta Woman K D Emerson - Every Woman I know (being a Hoss "top cheapie get it whileyou can type tip" Says all went down well with floor Paul W 5 Interesting Plays Joe Baatan - Special Girl - Fania - (see later note) The Drifters - If you Dont Come Back - Atlantic Sam Cook - Thats It I Quit Im Moving On -UK RCA Donnie Elbert -Wild Child - Deluxe Ronnie Hawkings - southern Love - Roulette Lots of other highlights thru nite, four winds, both gladys ts, to name three and have to say it was one of them nites where head was full of must remember that one and then, need that name embeded, what was other one called again Two records knocked me out and both could be said completely different one a latin flavoured great 60s fest and other a 50s top 20 rnb hit first up - one been banging meself out and was first time have heard it out elsewhere (even though been told its an old mod fav) sounded great and had great reaction Second up was the second last record was being played (this one) sounded great for first minute and a half but then out of nowhere this break come in, which thanks to the sound system sounded awesome ... play this even louder two not rare, not typical, not traditional, but who cares, i certainly enjoyed them and that was that, was a great nite, music wise most refreshing, as said whole nite had a "into the music" feel , and any nite which has me overloaded with "must remembers" is a good one in my book Thanks to all involved for a great nite, And thanks of course to s+l for lift Next one sat 27 nov - Guests Damian Hewitt - Lee Davies -

Info and a question on a track that caused a bit of a stir when it went for big money on ebay recently Go to single track section to listen First how many copies ? currently a 45 reportedly owned by one group member is being offered for higheest offer by a uk soul site for this person interesting apart from claiming exclusive audio clip while last looked was on ebay and up here, it also claims that it is one of only 3 known copies Just me or is there a element of doubt - i have been told of two people who have a 45 and have heard there was even more back in 70s - east anglia? Not sure of all details as often in stuff like this its based on "what heard" and so on , but out of interest and as maybe as some doubt may help seller or a buyer wonder if anyone can pass on any info ta mike Group Tracked some info on two plus two as seems there was a group frrom Manchester CT USA called this, and as seems its close to New Haven where other 2 Gwen owens velgo 45s were recorded does seem fairly likely There's a ex-member online Kenny Hicks, whodid try to contact but no reply yet, here's the info on group and pick of kenny h Well, it all started in 1964 when he originally played drums for The Pentagons, and in 1965, The Two Plus Two in Manchester, CT. where he grew up. In 1966, he started his career as a keyboard player with The Quiet Ones (one of Manchester's finest groups). This four-piece group won the Connecticut Battle of the Bands in 1967. Subsequently, they were accepted by Laurie Records to record the hit record "Little Bit O' Soul" (ultimately recorded by the Music Explosion). Unfortunately, due to being in high school, they were forced to decline the offer. (parental decision...and they ALL graduated too!!). The group played all around the state as well as in Misquamicut, R.I. at "The George". In 1968, he was asked to play for the Gravy Train, a 7-piece horn band. While with them, he performed at one of the inaugural balls for President Nixon at the Hotel Willard, in Washington D.C. He remained with them until 1970, when he helped to form an 8-piece horn band called Freedom Bound, playing at many colleges in the area.

As often happens was doing a bit of searching, stumbled across some interesting information, it made a nice change to hear a uplifting story for a change, as sometimes when looking up artists information the stories behind the 45s can be a bit down. Thornton Sisters - The Ditchdiggers Daughters Was just looking thru ebay completed bids" the other day and noticed the Thornton Sisters 45 "I Keep Forgetting/Ooh-Poo-Pah-Doo" on the Cuppy label up there. Always been a fan of their "rough and ready" "Big City Boy" 45 outing on Bobsan, As you more than likely know, usually a bit of a dig may just throw up one or two small bits of info, if lucky! But this time, this "dig" was quite suprising, due to the amount of information that come up on the screen, regarding the Thornton Sisters. It seems that they are quite famous, not really so much for their musical achievements but for the fact they turned their back on the "bright lights" and all that, to concentrate on "proper" jobs and lifestyles. All down to their father who guided them to make sure their lifes were worthwhile. As this story of a father and his 6 daughters is covered by a book " The Ditch Diggers Daughters" a tv movie/series and even was featured on a Oprah show, thought rather than letting you suffer my words, will put up below a series of clips, links and photos which will tell the story that much better. Suggest follow the links as they lead to more info, and also try the search engines as more articles will show up. A clip from (note link no longer valid) The Ditchdiggers Daughter is an inspiring portrait by a loving daughter of a father whose pervasive common sense, folk wisdom, and untutored but right-on insights gave his children their road map to a better life. It is the story of a man who dared to dream that his black daughters would someday become doctors–and who guided them to achieve the seemingly impossible goals he set for them. It is also the story of an astute businessman who formed his bright and talented girls into a rhythm-and-blues band that played Harlems Apollo theatre and won a recording contract, which Donald tore up when he discovered it required his girls to leave school. Instead, the Thornton sisters played colleges on weekends, earning enough money to pay for their education, yet not allowing their music to interfere with their studies. A article from the Temple Times 1997 http://www.temple.ed... They took honors five times at the Apollo Theater in Harlem and appeared on Ted Macks Amateur Hour. Offered a record contract, the daughters considered abandoning college for music careers. Again, their father steered them in the right direction. "Music is fine for now," he told them, "but nobody wants a 40-year-old musician. "Now a 40-year-old doctor, thats something else." Ok that sets the scene follow the links and can read the full story, maybe sounds a bit "afternoon television" but I found it interesting and good to read positive, smile on your face stories about the artists who gave us this great music. Hopefully of interest all above was news to me, though the "Ditchdiggers Daughters" did ring a bell but never connected it to the Thornton Sisters.
