Tommy Taylor from Northants; still at it and a lovely mover. -
Ralph Gray, Bruces younger brother (on the left). Hopefully I'll see him at the Harboro Xmas soul party on the 22nd Dec. -
I think he was one of the Prisoners pop combo. -
I remember her but can't think of her name or owt else about her -
With another missed one, Paul Guntrip -
The late greatly missed Bruce Gray from Harboro. -
And the legendary Southend DJ and promoter Dick Coombes who sold me my Because Of Your Heart for a tenner. He's now in Galway I believe. -
Or alternatively swearing? It's nothing to do with the site owners, some of us just like a gossip and to reminiscence, which sometimes give us a laugh. This is our playground and there's a lot of big kids about who enjoy playtime. As Ty Karim would sing it, Lighten Up Baby.

I bloody wish.

Yeah, I had a few of them in my girly pile.

Congratulations Dave, you're a valuable tool.

Hi Martyn, Funnily enough someone's doing a book on the history of Ace Records which will contain quite a lot on Kent but there is enough for a separate Kent book with all the stories of how things did or didn't come about. Unfortunately it would be too time consuming at the moment so I'll have to save it for my retirement which will probably coincide with our Golden Jubilee! Cheers Ady

Nice thread Dave and particularly well timed with Ian's disappointment at not having been able to make Kent's 25th. Ian was a major part of Kent and 6TS early success in that vital time that got us off the ground and established us as a major soul scene. His graphics for the flyers and Kent LPs were inspirational and unique, thereby giving us a rewcognised image; classy, wacky and fun. His record collection was up there with the best of them and he always had his ear to the ground for new discoveries and hot tips. He crossed right across the soul spectrum and the emphasis was always more on soul than the beat so he fitted in perfectly with Randy and eventually my ethos. Like so many have said before on Soul Source, i'm sure it was his being at the 100 Club, with that great collection, that broadened its reputation nationwide instead of just being a London based scene. Please add any more memories of Ian and his DJing, I'm sure it will give him a big boost when he particularly needs it.

They did one on Jo-Way Ice & Fire/Turquoise it's straight rock, I never saw them on Twinight.

Best to ignore it Kev. I hope you have a brilliant event and thanks again for the wonderful flyer for Kent's 25th. I'll E-mail you in a couple of days. Ady

On both it says the sites are unavailable!

Found the link but the page wouldn't come up. I might have DJed at that San Jose weekender 8ish years ago that janine was at but I don't know who's up to this mularkey.

Spelling doesn't seem to be a strong point with them. I couldn't find 'em through that link. I've Djed for my mate Alec palao whose indy, Nancy yahiro to two other people and warren lee's Empire State Soul Club who wouldn't give a shit, so I'm not sure who it is.

I remember it as me in the lead, especially if you stopped to arm yourself! He was a sly little sod but he could run and we didn't ever get close enough to see who it was. No harm in not being aggressive Russ, I can do without the psychos before you any day mate.

Sounds about right, me Mick, Roger and Pete Wid had a hilarious scrap with some West London troublemakers down the 100 Club one night after the jazz had finished and while the soul crowd were queueing up outside. It was a case of "take your partners", they were a real anti-climax and left very sheepishly.

Damn right I was well out of the way, Randy was involved, so no surprise there. We had a handful of dust ups at the 100 Club probably about one every 5 years on average which isn't too frequent. The best involved a loudmouth, a lamp post and Portsmouth's larger than life Debbie Gillen who was underwear free that night. Let's just say she applied her own version of smelling salts to the misguided youth. There were some wilder characters about in the early days, life is a lot more peaceful nowadays thank God.

No they are the real, correct, legal issue you're safe.

6TS at Jack's this Sat is CANCELLED View full article
-
I've decided to cancel all future events at Jack's due to an unexpected increase in the rent and a decrease in the hours at the last one. I should have notified everyone well before now but Kent's 25th celebrations just took over eveything. My apologies for the very late notice. Now we are back at the 100 Club it seems people much prefer going to those dances rather than the ones at Jack's. I'd like to thank Johnny Gamlin for coming to our rescue earlier in the year with the venue, when we really needed it. The first night was brilliant about 400 people enjoying a great atmosphere in the impressive club. However there were only just over 100 at the second and perhaps 150 at the third so it's obvious that 6TS members hadn't enjoyed it as much as I thought they had, or perhaps they were just happy to be back in the 100 Club. Either way Jack's was a short but memorable experience. The next 6TS will be at the 100 Club on December 1st, 9pm-6am. The Xmas party is on Dec 20th 9pm-2am. Membership is optional for all 6TS events now. Thanks Ady
