Ian Parker

Saw him in '84 during 'The Poet' tour, lots of folk type stuff mixed in wth his 60's solo stuff and lots of his Poet album (which i personally love & still have). hopefully as Kev says, if he hits the audience with HIWTHI etc etc, then a good night will be on the cards .

Alfa, you mean Frank Popp ? I hear ya

Paul Donnelly was selling one a while back. give him a shout, he might still have it

Debbie will be along soon, ref the 'Scenesville' era at the notre dame. i've just spotted this and let her know

fascinating stuff regarding Bob Seger & band. i just read Segers' history/discography, a fine career indeed

Hillman Imp, nicked by the legend that is Eric Hall for a niter in Peterborough, 1981. next morning, text book 'overheating' on the northbound A1, push it to the next lay-by, low and behold, the bill pull up and give us all the once over. Eric stayed cool as a cucumber, said he'd take his documents into Caythorpe (village) station. what he didnt tell the cop was that his uncle was the desk sergeant there another time was when i thumbed it to St Ives around 79, got a lift to Huntingdon station in an HGV, when i was pondering what to do next, a group of lads asked me if i wanted a lift to the Ivo. a quick call from the phonebox to the recreation centre, (we heard the shout go over the pa by a DJ for his mate to come to the phone), ten minutes later a nicked motor turns up and in we all jump!! strange thing is, i got a lift back to Grantham with a lad who i actually work with now, a MK2 1600E

i seem to recall a seller at Brid last year seing nice cases, but i cant remember who they were! so if anyone has a decent and reliable case for sale, please let me know. (if this is wrong section, apologies)

good to see Chippy on there givin it some

I remember getting there about 11am , because the only bus to leicester was about 10 on a sunday . Soul sam, Bub, JM and an oldies room which was no bigger than a cloak room !! My fave all dayers without a doubt - Nottm Palais, simply because it was my first one (Feb 78) and i never missed one for the next 3 years... that was a close contest with the wonderful St Ives . what a place. hitch hike, bus, train, stolen car .... we had to get there one way or another.

sensible prices only please. payment of your choice

jesus christ ! how much ??

Thank you for the info guys .....................it will still be one of my fav tunes, even if i don't have a copy Debbie x

as John said already, The Stute near Melton is on this coming saturday .

Guess we won't be buyin one of them

Does anyone know of the situation regarding this tune? rarity, availability,price etc ? Debbie found it on one of the old Scenesville tapes and thought it an idea to see if its within our reach. ta

Thanks for the info still cant find it on the web, how much sought after????? A couple of years back i saw one go for £230 on E Bay..................apart from that they have made anything from £50 to £100 Debbie x

thats the Tommy Hunt commemorative patch. quite sought after

Mr. Tinkles liked it! ....................but he said it should of been called Persian Cat Debbie x

got the single, still love it !! Funkiest 'Northern' classed record i've heard at any (northern) soul night/nighter is "cut your motor off" - Black Nasty. not a fan of it though. I also remember George Benson - Supership many yrs ago, but what do we class that as? IAN

I'm liking this thread. I do know that Ian Gee has got the Sassy demo, also the 'Like' (Rex Garvin) and also the (Impressions) cant satisfy white demo. most probably got a few more listed/shown

ok, I emailed Billy Paul's management and this is the reply : (apologies to those who have done this prior) Hello Ian,It was not Billy Paul. Billy was briefly a member of the Blue Notes but did not do any recording with them.BlancheBilly Paul Mgmt. at last , case closed
