Could anyone who sees a review I might miss email me with them to ady.croasdell@btinternet.com please. Bettye doesn't do computers yet and I said I'd print out what I could for her and snail mail them. Or if you want to put anything on this thread I'll send that on to her too. Ta Ady

Was it PA over a mike and singing to her records or a full band?

No idea; I haven't counted them yet!

You picked the only one without an act Benji!

About 400

I'm sure I've got it somewhere too Theresa. x

Lightweights! The Macc Lads have been an ever present as a two/three chalet/van gang along with Hinckley, the Rileys of Notts, East Anglian mob, Beds bunch and the Keogh clan of Lancs. Them and all the other regulars are hugely appreciated. Ady

I've done a few but my memory isn't what it was

Yes it was mainly jazz and sometimes blues in the 60s but plenty of beat groups too, I think the Animals had a residency there for a while

Tony Smith 1's wife to be Jet was behind the bar. I just told the boozers to buy 4 pints at ten to three and stick them under the table

1 am start first, later put back to 1.30 after the jazzers moaned. We rearranged the room before opening the doors. One night we had a battle with a gang from Acton inbetween, Mick, Wid, Roger and I saw them oFf, didn't even need Randy for that. I don't remember bananarama, jo boxers and shane mcgowan from the pogues were the main celebs who attended regularly

That's it Bob, a scan of Xmas Day would be great. Ta. 101 seems tough

Thanks for that, if anyone speaks to 'em soon could you ask them for me please? Ady

Sorted by Jules for 102 only need his 101 and Detroit Jr now. Thanks

There are 2 Paso 45s Any help will be rewarded! Ady

For the vindscreen?

I like Jean Carter, though it's a little too poppy for my tastes it's undeniably a brilliant mid 60s dance record. However Antellects I adored from first hearing, it stands out immediately with its own original sound and is solid atmosphere, I didn't know it was rare when I first heard it (I can be very dim that way) and struggle to imagine how it can be described in this way; each to his own though.

I think its an old boot, the seller may not realise

Missing catalogue numbers with no known records as far as I know; I just wondered if anything had turned up since the last discogs were done.

I only know it from a discog at Ace, never seen it or heard of it.

And does anyone have Gary Branch 'Mayaguez' on Clintone 015?

Do they exist? Ady

Super night, see what happens when we all turn out and get stuck in! the DJs many and varied talents certainly helped but you're always going to get good DJs trying hard in that venue so the main thanks is to the enthusiastic crowd especially the dancers. A special thank you to the multifarious Scottish contingency who were right in the thick of it. See you back there in July for the Cleethorpes gossip and a line up of Ted Massey, James Pogson, Keith Money, Joel Maslin and me; something for everyone. Ady

100's on the 6th and my fave mid-weeker Majestic is on the 4th. I'm sure there will be other volunteers. There are still record shops on Hanway St, in Soho and Camden, just ask around. Ady
