as Chalky said, get a Grapevine. that said, there were at least 4 originals in the Grosvenor rooms last night. start saving, there are a few about

where was this ? some nice records played

ive just had a browse of tonights events in the Sth Yorks/Notts area. to choose from there are: Trades club , Barnsley Steel Wheel , Sheffield Davy's , Sheffield Attercliffe , Sheffield 3 horseshoes , Rotherham Sth kirby miners welfare , Rotherham Bentinck , Kirby in ashfield Polish club, Nottingham maybe more? im not sure. can the area accommodate this many venues on the same night? i know some are oldies, some are ATB, but it seems a lot to me whats the general consensus?

All the best to you Tony & Sue. you've done the scene in Australia proud.

The Ellusions - You didnt have to leave what a tune, so full of soul its probably one of the finest tunes ever recorded......... apart from the recording. shocking!

I got a nice Howard Mallet patch for sale. i know it aint St Ives related, but i thought you cambs lads might be interested. on a lighter note, I did the very last all niter at The Ivo (late 77) and sat open mouthed all night at what was going on. i think i sat under the stairs and didnt budge until Harry started the mini bus in the morning . I did return for the all dayers a couple of yrs later, absolutely loved it! good luck with the Reunion,

sad sad day. The Trammps epitomised the 70's soul/funk scene for me. who could resist the intro to Disco inferno? wonderful! saw them at Baileys , Leicester many years ago RIP Mr Ellis

I was gonna get the Chubby Checker until i saw £3 postage! sorry mate, but that's kinda steep. a well packed single is under a quid at the post office counter..... £7 recorded is downright shocking
