These old photo's are great Mick Its so nice to see all these old styles Myself & alot of my friends still like to dress in these styles, i know a couple of us girls are pleased to see the old photo of that smart young woman in the circle skirt & hair ribbons, spot on! Debbie x

Whats Wrong with me baby - Mojo issue wanted -- on a side note, my old copy had 'my' baby instead of 'me' . were they all a misprint? .... anyone got one for sale?

Only being a youngster! I did not get onto the scene until the early 80s I was living in London, so i went out in London all the time, it was great! So it was about 82 at The 100 Club, then The Capitol Soul Club & Scenesville, (chuffed to bits to find my old membership cards), but i still heard quite alot of the music on the Mod scene, at The Mousetrap, The New Untouchables nights, Almost Grown(in Southend), & The Undergroud nights Cant remember what track i heard first at The 100 Club, but a couple of records from this time still spring to mind The Cashmeres-Showstopper The Ivories-Please Stay These are still 2 of my fav tracks today Debbie x

Now chaps!, here is some advice................Dont buy the lady in your life flowers if she has a very possesive pussy Because if they are anything like Mr.Tinkles???............You end up with the flowers pulled to bits & thrown around your living room floor Debbie x

We'd love to see some footage and good quality photo's. bear in mind, the 'run of the mill' cameras most folk had were pretty basic. i had a dreadful 110 jobbie. it took pic's but anything further away from close up was destined to be mediocre in quality and clarity. I have one photo of me in Mr M's and one of a friend in the main hall. both are awful quality..... as for cine footage, that would be fab, fingers crossed, ya never know

The Antellects - Love Slave Because its the best record ever made & Ian my love, i have nearly worn my copy out! Debbie x

Nowt wrong wi' Grantham Spanner Ian

I shall be watching that! Looking forward to seeing some Latin dancing Debbie x

Blimey Tony. Martha Reeves (imo) is'nt even in the same league as Gladys Knight. at her best, MR is mediocre i've always thought, but GK is absolutely faultless, live or studio. anyway i'm off topic now, this is another debate IAN p.s. Female stalwarts of the Scene ?? ermmmm , for the number of tunes played, i'd say Linda jones too. who incidently is a remarkable singer i personally think.

two to choose from ... Curtis Mayfield Van Mcoy

not knockin it Pete, was just posting on here coz i've not seen it done before. (hence the 'fair play' & ). i spose you're right about the shitty UK soul section.... mind you, there are some goodies crop up occasionally IAN

Im using my mums old laptop while mine is being fixed, but the keys keep sticking, i have to go over everything twice, or it could be old age Debbie x

Early RnB means Rythm & Blues Modern night club RnB means Rough n Beery Debbie x

I was asked to be an extra for this film, i could of kissed the chap who asked me, because he thought i looked young enough to do it, (dont say a word Webby ) But because i was moving house at the time, i could not make it. I dont think it will appeal to everyone on here, but it may spark some interest in the younger generation, which would keep the scene going perhaps??? As for myself, i would enjoy watching the original footage, i cant say about the rest of the film, as i have not seen it, but i do think, when you try & re-create an event that happened, its never quite the same Im glad i did not do it now! Debbie x

It might be worth checking E Bay I got one that holds 200 records for £14.99 with free p&p Debbie x

This is the same person selling the Betty O'Brien on E Bay, with the spelling Betty O,Brian I have already had a moan at this person for taking my old webite name that i still own & have paid for, so all they did was just stick 55 on the end Debbie x

Susan, Have you got any photo's of you wearing the trousers?, it would be nice to see the designs Old Historians do have alot to remember you try remembering all the styles & designs from the 1600s to the 1970s I have given sooo many lectures, my poor brain gets a bit fried What i meant was, you did not see chaps wearing this style in London so it may of been more popular up North. Some of the chaps in London would wear the 1930s American trousers called Oxford Bags, or they would just have them made by Spencers. Brian, C & A have pinched your design, but i bet they did not do it as good! Debbie FTF

I like most vintage style of dress, i used to go to some 40s Lindy & Swing nights, as i like the dancing, but when i had my old 20s & 30s cars, i used to dress 20s & 30s, with a Louise Brooks type bob, which also fit a bit of a 60s mod look. But now my hair is quite long, with a short fringe, as i like the Betty Page style, im still spinning in circle skirts at soul nights , but i do like to add my own style to them Its been lovely chatting on here to you, & like i said before, if you see us about, please come over & say hi Debbie x

I had never seen the side pockets before on the trousers, i think its good to add your own touch to something, i like to do that myself But you dont see anyone wearing the high waist styles on the bags today, i always think its very flattering on men & women I would say, you were the best dressed chap on the scene, sorry to make you blush again! I must ask!.......Have you kept any of your original clothing? Debbie x

can't remember my first niter.. I went to very few until 1980. i do remember the first wigan trip, christmas all nighter, dec 19th (i think) 79, with Caveman Pete, Kev Charles (RIP) and Biz. no chance remembering the first record at any event i've been to Ian
