He mentions his first comedy partner being a top dancer from Wigan in a funny quote in the Guardian today and i found this on the site "My hatred of ballroom dancing is in direct proportion to my love of pretty much all other forms of the art. In the 70s a good friend of mine from Southport Art College had been one of the Kings of Northern Soul at Wigan Casino. When he moved to London I would occasionally accompany him to all-dayers at the 100 Club on Oxford Street. My uncoordinated flailings on the dance floor were the least lovely aspect of these events but nobody seemed to mind, and I was always happy to be there simply because I always found myself so moved by the unselfconscious beauty and energy of the other dancers. There was something about the choreography and the avowedly working-class nature of the whole thing that always made me want to smile." Anyone know who his mate was?

Nope, I didn't know Dave then
-
There's a lot more to it than that though John and though I wouldn't call it double-dealing it's certainly convoluted and atypical.
-
We've all assumed stuff and been embarrassed down the line. Will check it out with Jerry
-
Great shot.Is it yours or do you know where it came from? -
More questions than answers! Next stop Jerry. Thanks to all. Feel free to add any other info
-
Thanks Sunnysoul, I agree about Chris and Marke being the same, but not Chris Bartley, David Nathan knew Chris Jackson as did Dave of course
-
Yes but listen to it and it's a totally different voice that sounds a lot but not totally like Jerry. Dave and Jerry were very close but if it was recorded in the U.K. Was he visiting in 1968?
-
At some point I got told this was actually Jerry Williams and not Chris Jackson. Anyone know where that info came from? It certainly sounds a bit like Jerry and nothing like Chris but it's also reported as a UK recording which is possible.

Not the JB Bobby Byrd, it's the real name for Bobby Day.

6TS 100 Club 2018 Events Heads Up View full article
-
6TS at the 100 Club dates 2018 All 11pm - 6am including the anniversary March 10th April 21st May 26th Aug 18th Sept 29th 39th Anniversary; ticket only-on sale at and from Aug nighter Nov 3rd Dec 1st Xmas party 20th Dec 9pm-2am Matt will run the May and November dates. After the disappointing turn-out (though a rather splendid dance) for the July nighter this year and a general drop in attendances in general, we’ve decided to cut down the frequency of the events. We do have an additional 6TS on tour date at Pete Hollander’s Springfield all nighter in North Wales on 27th January and there will be the usual couple of Crossfire nighters, but the rare Northern Soul scene can’t support a nearly-monthly all nighter any more. Depending on the crowds we will adjust accordingly next year; you come and we’ll run them – or not. Many thanks to all those who have attended, it’s appreciated more than ever nowadays. http://www.6ts.info

Anyone want to make Sid Barnes and me very happy by lending us a VG+ / Ex copy please? CDs, credit and thanks for your trouble. Cheers Ady

Terrible news, he had his chirpy smiling face on at Cleethorpes on the Saturday, I'm shocked. A Cleethorpes stalwart with his band of merry folk since the first one. He used to visit the 100 Club regularly too. I'll miss him greatly
