Below clipped from an South Manchester Reporter Online Article Check link out for full story and photo! DISCO diva Gaye Chorlton is just nuts about Northern Soul, and to prove it she has created her own shrine to the popular dance movement in a battered old Volvo. The sculptor, 46, whose extraordinary creation is also her office, travels all over the country in her Ã"¹Ã…“soul machine" on her various commissions for museums, schools and art galleries. So outrageously decorated is GayeÃÆ’¢âÅ¡¬âž¢s A-registered green Volvo it has stopped traffic in the middle of Manchester and taken on near-cult status in its native Chorlt............. http://www.southmanchesterreporter.co.uk/news/index/articles/article_id=14879.html

Despite a fire , caused by an electrical fault, S.O.S will go ahead on Saturday night. Landlord Andy Livesey has pulled out all the stops in an emergency clean up operation, and we are assured that the place will be open as normal by tomorrow. Unfortunately, the p.a. system was destroyed so it will be back to "old faithfull", my 800 watt Yamaha rig!! We look forward to seeing old and new soulies alike. Best wishes to all, Al D.

Mr O asked me to pass on the below as having probs posting news stuff. Not often release of flyers really news worthy but the long running Plinston Trading Cards series is always a laugh ... Released in the usual limited edition of 100 on the soulful masses this weekend is No 8 in the latest Trading Cards celebrating the guest DJs at our Northern Soul @ The Plinston event. Roger Banks gets the treatment this time (sorry Rog) and Cliff Steele escapes by virtue of the fact we couldnt find any pictures of him to use. But theres always tomorrow :-) Have fun hunting for them and a full gallery of all the Trading Cards released to date will be posted this week so those collecting them (and GOD theyre are many of you!!!!) know what your looking for...a sort of Manship Guide To Rare Trading Cards if you like. Get to the "flyers gallery" -upcoming section to view what theyve done to Mr Banks!
