Incredible story ,book sounds like a proper good read

Very sad news ,last time I saw him October ‘22 with myself and Rob Moss ,had a good laugh as always .Rest in peace Tim x

Arthur Willis must be up there ?

Yes very true .I think venues like The Highland Room were first with many records ,but after records were uncovered they tended to become more mainstream

Definitely Geese ,sounds like “ Philly Dog Around The World “ was exclusive to Levine at the Mecca for a while ,Burning Bush was a Ginger special at Cleethorpes etc for a while .There are undoubtedly loads more .cheers Eddie

Really sad news Joan ,I remember Kit from Lifeline ,Radcliffe etc .Rest in peace x

Great article ,wonder if Mike Terry played on any more of their records ?

Yes loads of Chess ,Cadet etc on our local market plus lots of King ,Federal etc

Yes those Spyder Turners were everywhere along with picture sleeve Kim Weston’s and Dee Dee Sharp - Standing in the need of love

This Stairsteps album is great if you collect LP’s as well as 45’s ….

Looks great Sean ,both the singles and the CD .Ady has been playing The Marvellos “ It’s Your Love “ to huge acclaim at The 100 Club recently .Cheers Eddie

Didn’t you play “ Crook His Little Finger “ at The 100 Club recently Butch ? I thought it was Ann Heywood at the time .Cheers Eddie

Sorry Graham ,I tried to delete my post as I thought Reg Bartlette had sold his collection to Martin Koppell ,but I then remembered it was another American collector with the 2nd copy of Frank Wilson .Thanks Eddie

Yes you could be right Chalky ,I know Colin Curtis covered for Richard once while he was holiday bound ,thanks

The above is a Wigan time line I did recently after speaking to various people including John Vincent .There may be more DJ’s that only played a few times or once ,like Levine ,Arthur Fenn and Simon Soussan who only DJ’d once .This timeline is for the main room only .Feel free to add more info ,cheers Eddie
