I seem to recall one night in 2001 when Sidney Barnes and The Flirtations were introduced to the crowd . There was a video also taken on the night. Still got it somewhere in the loft.

For records try the record fair at Spitafields Market the first and third Friday of each month, good selection and you sometimes pick up the odd bargan, Also as mentioned recently on this website, Lee Jeffries new venture, behind Spitafields towards Brick Lane near the old Trueman Brewery, nearby is Rough Trade records. https://www.soul-source.co.uk/articles/soul-news/sonic-wax-record-store-and-kitchen-open-now-8-8-every-day-brick-lane-r2704 I went last Sunday, small, but very freindly atmosphere, great music, you can spin tunes on the deck and where else can your order a burger and browse through record boxes? Worth a vist is Boogaloo Records, Fulham (District Line to Fulham Broadway) and Alan's Records East Finchley Tube (Northern Line). For events, you will will find many flyers for events in the record shops in Berwick Street, (Sister Ray, Reckless and Record Exchange) also check the Soulnites website - https://www.soulnites.com/ Enjoy your trip

From what I can remember back in 1977 Cleethorpes Sunday all dayers Chaiman Of The Board Give Me Just A Little More Time was a big spin of Bub's together with Van Morrison Domino. The floor was packed.

About five years ago picked up a uk demo copy on Coral of Jackie Wilson Who Who Song/Since You Showed Me To Be Happy vg+ condition for 10p. Also for the same price Lou Johnson Unsatisfied on London (noc). Bargain basement of Record Exchange in Camden which sadly has since closed down. Also a couple of years ago at an London Olympia record fair, Martha Reeves, No One There on a Mint TMG green demo for £4.

You can subscribe to Manifesto from Bournemouth Colour Press, Poole Telephone 01202 717535. However I renewed my subscription from issue 137, £40 for 10 issues. Never received issue 138, had to order a copy from Jumbo Records, sent an e-mail to complain and asked for details when the next issues would be published - still waiting for a reply. They also set up a website to promote the magazine but its way out of date.

For reference see the earlier Andy Rix notes on the history of the label - https://www.soul-source.co.uk/articles/articles/soul-articles/shrine-the-full-and-first-issue-story-by-andy-rix-r309

These Old Shoes and also from the past Raquels, Wakefield Bull Ring - the dance floor was on the left with the DJ booth (Paul Rowan). I think a lot of people took to dancing on the carpet at the front. Upstairs was a slightly bigger dance floor which catered for pop. Both dance floors were used for the Christmas Day allnighter in 1976.

Interesting article and a great read, apparently this Friday's DJ History podcast will pay homage to Frank. https://djhistorycom.podomatic.com/
