Rick Scott

Hi Pep, What can i say, A wonderful tribute for a wonderful Lady,We spent wonderful times together as friends/co DJ's at Cleethorpes and Helen was a lovely lady to talk to, ALWAYS had time for you, Sad Sad time for you and all that were privlileged to know her,thinking about you at this time and thankyou for that wonderful post, it said it all, Rick.

Clever lads, Thanks so much one and all,will now pass on the good news, it's actualy for his young son who is into the music so how cool is that, he spends his time on youtbe etc listening to northern so there is some young blood out there, once again ta much

An old friend in Lincoln contacted me today and asked if i could identify a tune on youtube posted by jimima squiggle. the video is called "northern soul dance lessons", it is the first track but you only get the last 15 secs or so run out of the tune followed by congratulations baby - barbara west, the video is a group of girls and at least i male in a dance studio, i have heard this track but just can't place it thanks a lot guys (and gals) hope you can help

Hi All, Have to confess to clip 53 as that is me, a very young long haired Rick Scott, also on the stage with me, Mary and Colin Chapman,Rick Todd and Dick Jervis (amongst others), Happy memmories of the greatest All Niter EVER, Rick

Just checked it out on you tube, Verry nice indeed, Thanks for that

Thanks Guys, Have both those versions but thought it was a more obscure version but on reflection it was probably one of those Didn't know Artie had passed away, wonder if he had any other solo outings, must have a shufty and see what surfaces, thanks again... Rick

Just having a flick through some of my UK albums and reading some of the sleve notes and noticed on the "Johnny Johnson and the Bandwagon (Direction 1968) his name as in the band line up along with Terry Lewis,Billy Bradley and of course Florida born Johnny Johnson, now i have two questions here for you, is this Arti Fullilove as in the single "Santa Clause" (Please Listen To Me) ? and Who did the other version of the track on this album called Are You Ready For This ? I have the dam thing tucked away some where on a 7" as i used to play it (donkeys years ago) but can i hell aslike remember who it was by, Writen by J. Ross/M.Barkam/R.Adams Going bloody senile in my old age, not to be confussed with the Brothers song, different song altogether.

good to see him back but have to say was expecting just a bit more from the man..........

This will fill dance floors but one of those songs most will quickly tire of, like after 2mins lol, wish i had a fiver for every time he sings "share my love!" sorry not for me,just doesn't seem to go anywhere :o(

I have a copy of this, labels on my copy correct. Price? well i would not sell mine for that price. Would think that price is based on the last time Manship had one up for sale, never seen it come up for sale/listed since i bought mine off Gary S (Blacknight Records) back in the 90's, Very rare on a 7" Think last time i had someone try to get me to sell it was a member on here, Boba i think it was, Both sides are excelent by the way,very big for me at Canal Tavern Thorne when Rod Dearlove ran the place, Superb Nites,Rick

Got my copy (LP) off John Anderson (Lyyn discory/Soul Bowl) My first recolections playing it Out "soul scene" Scunthorpe and of course Cleethorpes Pier/Winter Gardens, Still play it to this day, wonderful record and a Cleethorpes Classic!

Hi Dawn, Very nice photographs, haven't got any of the drill hall doooo's but enjoyed them all the same, Just love lookin' back at all those great times, weren't we SO lucky being a part of this great scene, Love and respect, Rick

Paul, PM me if you would like Mary and Colins phone number, you can have a chat (i'm sure they will be pleased to hear from you) and you can arrange a meet up, regards, Rick

Used to play a track from this album at The Cleethorpes Winter Gardens (1977) called "Love Party" Was very popular at the time

Got talking to some Scooter lads recently and this venue ( run by Chris Dalton) came into the conversation, anyone on here go, have any memories of the place you would like to share on this forgotten all niter?

Pauls a lovely lad , haven't spoke to him since last year, must give him a buzz, bought/exchanged many a record from him well in the past, great taste in music too.... Rick

Good Morning Malc, They both hide it well don't they ! Mary will be up Hemswell Market this morning (as usual) , My mate Colin (from Scunny) will be up there to see her (as i type), he always takes a few bits up for her and has a natter and a bit of banter (as you do) and he always rings me on the Sunday evening to fill me in on his finds and how she is, on one occasion she said to him, i need to leave and went home early, so clearly all is not well. Colin makes me smile flying about in his electric buggy, i wonder how long it will be befor people start turning up at N S Venues on them, we will have to have special parking areas and plug in points to charge up lol. Shame we can't get Mary on here, the stories she could tell and the questions she would get asked eh.... Rick

Too right, None of us getting any younger, old habits die hard as she can't resist a bargain, she still keeps her finger in lol, we don't appreciate in a lot of cases what people have done on this wonderful scene of ours until they are no longer with us, didn't want this to happen in Marys case as i personaly have a lot to thank her for.

Hi Chalky, She doesn't get out as much as she used to, but i was told she was spoted at a Boomarang do at Thornes Canal Tavern Recently. She also sells records on the car boot site at Hemswell Market (indoors) but am told she may be giving it up soon due to ill health.

Just thought it would be nice to give a Nod to a Wonderful Lady who is not in good health these days (as is not Colin her husband ) Her Babys back then as many members on here would remember were The Cleethorpes Pier and The Winter Gardens. She gave many a DJ their Big Break back then when you look at the Original Line Up from those humble beginings, plucking DJ's from venues up and down the country who were making a name for themselves and recomended to her as fan favourites. These venues made people sit up and take notice even Dave Godin making regular trips there and becoming a firm friend with Mary whom he admired and had the greatest respect for and this was all down to Mary, she never made a penny bless her, she paid the best wages to her DJ's as she knew they would put the money to good use to make sure the best records money could buy would get played (whether it was rare or not mattered a jot, ) old or new, we and she just wanted Quality and she new her DJ's would not let her down, but what i want to know is what YOU remember from that era, your involvment with Mary and Colin at these wonderful venues with the loyalist members you could ask for ( even her dodgey DJ sessions behind the decks on the odd occasion lol ) she would freely tell you her self she was no expert on the mic, but her heart and soul was willing, I just want to along with you give a bit of credit where it's due to her , happy, sad or funny times you may have had and would like to share with the rest of us.

Hope this is in correct topic section ( i'm sure it will be removed if it is'nt ) Has anyone bought this Nicola Conte CD ? ( has extra bonus cd ) need to know if the bonus cd has anything decent on it to be worth paying the extra for. Many thanks for looking, Rick

Sad, Sad Times --- And I Love Her --Roy Hamilton -- RCA

Very nice, but which version of land slide is featured, certainly not the original version of Tony Clarke ? Rick
