https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=jerry butler it seems very true, judging by all these posts. very sad news.

Lots on FB, sadly it's true.

a fabulous drummer. his boys brigade spell, gave him great stick control, that shows in every song he recorded on. as a fellow drummer, ive tried to emulate some of those songs, with little success. he was and always will be, a force behind a drum kit. very sad news RIP

oh blimey. terrible terrible news

not just me then, cant even listen to it.

my late brother in law, used to frequent that place, also Wheel, Dungeon etc . i was a 16 year old kid, mesmerised by his tales. all we had , was Nottm palais and Wiggun 😂. woulda loved to be a part of that era.

Ian Dury ? we have a winner !

Mr M's, more than once, for me

i may have dates wrong, sounds feesible, Tony was EASC stalwart, back then.

some surprises here, thanks all . The Ovaltinie's takes it though heard this in the Bali Hai, Nottingham. my Dunlop green flash were soon in action . love it !

Be it strange, awful , chart hits, wrong genre... My baby just cares for me - nina simone. (Peterborough, early 80s), I sat there thinking 'what the?' .. but have since grown to love it Any more ?

if anyone asked me what Northern soul is : i'd point them straight to this !

Some records stick, Jimmy burns is one of them. Soul Sam spin, late 70s, who played it first, no idea, but I remember Sam pushing it.

apologies , i read the above post wrong

"Weren't many there?" it was heaving in there.

Wirrina bomb scare. the night Major lance didnt show.... Jnr Walker & Eddie Holman made up for it tho. we did the Cresset, the Fleet and Wirrina. EASC 6th Anniv was a good night, thats the only time i remember a 2nd room (Tony Clayton gave away a TMG demo)

is that not Ady Croasdel ?

Holly St James 🙄 is it just me, or does anyone else nip to the bog when this sort or thing comes out of the speakers? clearly lots love it, but i've never even thought it a good record ho hum.

Al Williams, wowzers !

No, she shoulda stuck to the factory canteen......

a GIant has left us. saddened as always, when we lose a friend, but QJ left a legacy that is hard to top . RIP Mr Jones

i missed those. only remember the main ballroom. bodies and bags everywhere

peterborough (various) , Stafford, Clifton hall, Alfreton, Hinckley, Loughboro, Oddfellows..... the early 80's were a whirlwind of venues. ive forgotten more than i remember. some great nights. especially places like oddfellows, that had one room , playing everything, from wheel oldies, to present day releases . superb memories!
