Ian Parker

Just heard he has passed awayCan this be confirmed? Very sad news if true

Ad Lib, Lincoln. now thats a club that has refreshing tunes. i know early soul (some call it R&B) isnt everyones cup of tea, but that place does it right. tunes we know, tunes we dont know, tunes we'd llike to hear again. there must be other clubs out there that cater for those that like to hear something different ? i personally love my oldies and will freely admit that i avoid certain places, because i know exactly whats gonna come out of the speakers. difficult and frustrating, I love the small clubs (Sweetsoul, Stute etc), i also love the big do's. I also love to gig the odd weekend, playing drums in a cheesey covers' band is a good escape from the soul scene. branch out a little, do other things, tis good! Merry christmas all.........

Jackie Moore sorted, thanks

Jackie Moore , this time baby The Dells , your song Anyone ? Remember the dells on recently , Patto was selling I think.

I'll take the Barbara Lynn please. Pm me your payment details.

This is what I find fascinating about the NS scene. One mans meat etc. I played Esperanto to an appreciative audience a little while ago, but at he soul bowl it cleared the floor ?? Yet Interplay gets a spin and folk go in a frenzy ! What makes Derek and Ray more soulful than The Grand piano company? Dunno myself, but one is hammered, the other ain't. Mind you, California montage is an instr to behold, now that oozes soul, lovely. As for cool ? little Lisa, Hang on Bill was a big tune many moons ago, but I doubt it would fill a floor nowadays! Great thread, enjoying the input

it's not DD. . . . .

See if Nev will do you a deal Terry. ;)

chuck Jackson and Edwin Starr at the Astoria nottingham . 84

Or my avatar pic. Major at Stafford, jan 84

gene chandler, about 84 (I think) , Hinckley . Snake Davis on sax, brilliant!

speaking of Major Lance @ Hinckley. can anyone remember the crush at the doors ? you think station road was bad ? this night was bordering on health and safety having a field day. serious squash, scary !

CM was inspirational to me that night, i stood infront of him as he played that telecaster with consumate ease. i also think i was at that Martha reeves show, got a grainy photo, will dig it out

except Major Lance did'nt show..... still a fantastic night though

BABE RUTH ................. someone had to

Remember it well, still got the mag issue. I got my workmate at the time to have a read, since then he's been an avid soul fan. " of such things are legends made " A timeless line from the article, we still say that whenever we hear the 'tune'

Bit of a nightmare to track down, I'm after this and Sam Williams to complete my line up, they are out there, keep looking

Painted lady, Melton. The oldies room was tiny, I remember 2 of my pals on the dancefloor, I had to dive for cover. Te DJ was behind a small " serving hatch" . . . Tiny indeed

CSP copy required if anyone has this available please ( to replace my cracked one ). Also need Shane Martin on CSP to complete my line up , Cheers

I hope they got the lyrics right ! I won't listen to that god awful soft cell shamble, for the simple fact 'mincing' Marc sings "if you think love is to pray, well i'm sorry i don't pray that way" ......... since when did Gloria Jones sing that in her tune ? arrgghhhhhhhhh. also, when did GJ sing "take my tears" ? If the pair of clowns had listend to the song properly, maybe the other murderers would have got it correct too. Rant over

Quality! Oh to have been there . . . . JW was exciting and always gave 100% , what a gread thread , lovin it.

Very very sad news. It's Groundhog Day again! Love won't let me wait..... . What soul and emotion! The haunting and almost psych guitar intro on 'call me tomorrow' is a magnet to a dancefloor for me, absolutely love it. RIP friend.
