Sooooo..... London mod scene '82/83...+ / - @ 100 Club (really could do with Ady confirming / refuting this) Then Colin gets hold of one '84 then later c/u'd as Willie G and Magic Rhythm band, covered up for what, a year or two? Goes maseeve ya bas by '87ish at Allanton (did he maybe play it at Glenrothes YM too? Steve / Alan to comment?) No to Stafford Then Pat, '85/86/87 Phil etc Yes? No? (Jock would you mind PMing me Colin's email details please if you've got em, need to ask him a favour)

Did the 100 Club maybe beat us Scots to it then? Ady C.?

Cheers Chalky. Maybe Colin could throw some light on things too?

Troy Marrs - Rhythm Message - Sure-shot After a bit of history on this folks. I associate this most fondly with Colin Law playing it as (I think) Willie G and the Magic Rhythm Band (at Shotts etc). Just need a bit of clarification that Colin (if you're here...) was first / one of the first to play this, or anyone else else possibly around the same time? Dates, names and places please ! Did read somewhere it was a Stafford play which would predate me hearing it go big in Scotland, but not sure whether this was urban myth. Need to get my facts straight for the next book... Any comment Colin ? Or Chalky on the Stafford bit? Cheers guys!

I'm on it already Dale, still got loads to cover from the Carolinas and Virginia but also adopted a slightly wider geographical remit. Still sticking very firmly with the south though (a recent road trip across Tennessee and the Carolinas inspired me !). Currently working on Bob Marshall & the Crystals, Bernard Smith & the Jokers Wild, the Astors, Tommy Ray Tucker, TSU Toronadoes, In-Men (not Bob Kuban's guys, but the NC lot on Pyramid), and loads more planned....

I'm certainly no song writer or musician, but the issue over appropriate terminology ie whether something is a beat ballad or a mid tempo track does tickle me. Problem is I think there is no consensus to what constitutes 'mid-tempo' even from a technical perspective. The Oxford dictionary gives an example of the use of mid-tempo in context as 'a mid tempo ballad' ! Aargh.... Musicians of popular music have tried to define it on a BPM basis (eg 90-110 as mid-tempo, down tempo less and uptempo more) - dont know where my beat ballad faves fit into that! Maybe we should all experiment and post in - but looks like they even argue on this definition too. The only conclusion you can come to is that midtempo is relative to the specific musical genre being discussed - however when as with soul you have something like the Four Gents "I've been trying" at one end and Eskew Reeder on Crosstone at the other it all becomes a bit daft.

STILL looking!!!!!! Please somebody sell me this!

I was weaned on the stuff, being a nipper of the eighties. I'm still playing Kell Osbourne's 'Quicksand', and Roy Hamilton's 'Heartache hurry on by'..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjjPh-Uh0sw
