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!

Blimey. we had a punch up in Nottm palais, still got a lump on back of my hand, where a shoe hit me. we had to leg it, whilst the bouncers held the instigators at the door (they were clearly out for aggro) i also saw another fight, at St Ives, one of the pugilists is on here, he shall remain nameless 🙃

if its any consolation... i played (at a very well known oldies event) Such misery - the precisions. yup, tumbleweed ! happens to everyone, at some point. any 'DJ' with an ounce of sense, should be able to judge a dancefloor, so out came: 'if this is love' that sorted it 😆🙄

John E Paul : flip it, for aural delight.

very Sad... i went (alone) to watch MAZE, Rock City , Nottm (none of my mates had heard of him/them). was blown away by the musicianship, the songs, the voice, the soul. had to go again, 'back in stride' tour at Hammersmith... that time, 4 of us went, all 4 of us, lifelong Frankie Beverly fans. impossible songs to cover, even play along to, such is the musical genius of the man. a true giant of our time. RIP friend

after the laughter, brilliant !

Saw the guy live, 82/83 (long time ago). He was electric!! Fabulous gig, stand out for me , was 'there was a time' but my guilty pleasure, is Get down. Lots and lots of fabulous records, difficult to choose one.

omnium, absolutely no idea what goes on? Been watching the cycling a lot, but that beats me.

Loved it up to now.. just watched GB get another gold in the boulder climbing. The Olympic games, are something I'll never tire of.

more sad news. RIP friend.

Joe Lakin, was regular , from around 67 onwards. he still DJ's

'show and tell' THE most soulful record ever !! RIP Mr Fuller .

very sad... 70 years, blazing a trail. RIP old friend.

the 'whip crack' a couple of times, on "Im gonna love you! Edward Hamilton. NO NEED !

i have one here.... will check condition and get back to you.

parlaiment street, Nottingham. good pedigree on this tune, sadly Joe was a better boxer than singer

seen her twice. the finest vocalist to grace our ears . predictable songs, but she can still sing like a bird.

fair play, but it was recorded , on Harvey records, long before Jnr Walker joined motown
