Marlena Shaw RIP
RIP the great Marlena Shaw. Always been a big fan but never got to see her live despite her many visits here. I still managed to get an autograph though. Pete Tong put this on a tape in the 80s and itโs my favourite.

Poll: The Best 'Intro' - Put to the Vote!
I would've voted for Yvonne Baker. I'm surprised she didn't make the cut.

What's your best new northern record of the year 2023?
Jalen Ngonda is album of the year, along with October London (but not Northern or on a record). This is record of the year though

Napoleon is out 22 Nov. Directed by Ridley Scott and starring Joaquin Phoenix. Should be very good.

Cassette Tapes?
Tapes? Even in the mid 90s I used to plug a CD Walkman into the cigarette lighter. I did go through a phase in the late 80s when I first started driving buying tapes for the car. I still them all now - some really good ones from Bobby Womack, Perri, Stephanie Mills, Jean carne, etc.

Paul McKay RIP
Very sorry to hear this. I first met Paul at These Old Shoes in the late 90s and used to see him regularly at the London northern (and other) soul dos. Such a lovely bloke - we used to talk about music and football (Charlton & Bromley). He played great sets as a DJ too. He seemed to be making the most of things recently, travelling to a lot of places for breaks. RIP.

Boiling point
Thanks for doing that. I didn't catch all of them during the show. Someone has great musical dates involved in that team. There was also another Pastor TL Barrett track played in the closing credits of episode 4

Boz Scaggs
Just found this thread in case anyone had mentioned this Boz Scaggs similarity before. Surely he's nicked Billy Prophet to come up with Dinah Flo? Or is it just me? I've forgotten how good this is

Northern Soul t-shirts
I'm afraid to say I had a white T-shirt with a black fist and Keep the Faith on it in 1985. It suited me then ๐

The Mortimer & Whitehouse playlist?
I think Bob likes a bit of soul. He was singing Ghetto Child last series.

A message of hope to (usually) Dads
My daughter and I have been estranged for a few years. This stared immediately after the separation, then was fine for some years and then happened again. I kept in touch but it was one way traffic. However, recently we've seen each other twice and even came along for a meal for my birthday. These things typically work out in the long run, thankfully.

Fantasy football
Most folk got similar scores last week. Hence, me in 3rd place! ๐. We might see more distinction this week. I'm certain I'll get a lot less points with a lot of players from my team playing each other.

RIP Bobby Eli
So many great songs. I can't find a full list but there must be one somewhere. Here's one that springs to mind

Richard Searling Last Ever Spot At Wigan Casino
The Ike Strong sounds great. I thought it was True Image first but it sounded different so I wasn't 100%. I'm amazed it was such a popular record that warranted lots of handclaps in unison.

I'm back in and will be much better this year ๐

Richard Searling Last Ever Spot At Wigan Casino
Old thread revival. Richard has recently added this to Mixcloud. I know nearly all of them, but some I don't. Any chance anyone could add a track listing please? https://www.mixcloud.com/spurs1961/my-final-dj-set-at-wigan-casino-691981/

Promoters - Live Act Tour - Uk avail date Sat 21st Oct?
Ray Greene's recent album is very good and I'm sure he'd be great live. I have a promoter's name for him who might be interested.
