What about: Andrea Henry-Need You Like a Baby-MGM Ronnie West-Lil Woman-Goins (Deans Soulfay c/up) Supremes-Stormy Diplomats-Cards on the Table Russ

He did, was played a lot at Wilton I think. Russ

Mecca for about 2 plays, so dont count as a propper Mecca play..........good call. Russ

Think WC but deffo Stafford & else where around the same time. Russ

Monster choice mate & will become bigger methinks in the future. Russ

Was the Newsounds, cut from the P-Vine LP.................was huge for awhile darn sarf ...............a great tune & happy memories of the 'Water Rats'. Russ

Ady's, Lou Johnson version of the Panic is On........................c'mon. Milton Bennett Andrea Davis Erma Franklin-Abracadabra Carl & Garys Darrell banks c/up.............anyone remember who this was disappeared without trace now, so your starter for ten Russ

Jimmie Andrews-Big City Playboy Chooooooooooooooooon Russ

As mentioned earlier , RS play. Russ

Harry Deal & the Galaxies was Bradford I think.........anyone ??????//. Russ

This thread is not excllusive to any Nighter, its post Stafford, so if the cap fits, post it...........& can we keep things on a positive note, altho' your point is well taken. Russ

Kinnettes was played by Pat at Stafford. Russ

I mentioned both earlier, but must agree mate. Russ

Cheers Simon..........good choices wont comment on the 4V tho' altho RS played the MG at WC, obviously reactivated much later when the promo 45's surfaced. Russ

Was this the one that was on Radio 2's All Singing etc Prestwhich special ?????if so I love this, but had totally disappeared from play lists by the time I returned from living Sateside. Russ

Thank you Dave..........not suprised tho', Clarkie alone must have contributed significantly. Russ

Nice one mate..........Im not familiar with the MG Im ashamed to say, altho' if I heard it I may know it, Bill Bush has to be in there, of course played by Gary Spencer for years before it eventually went huge, was covered up for an age, so probably why. Cheers mate Russ

Great tune, a favourite of Randy's of course & firm fave at the 100 generally. Russ

One of my absolute faves, fantastic & right up there with anything past or present......this is a cover up as far as Im aware, so inclusion on our CD comp looks dodgy.......but fantastic NS none the less. Russ

Absolutely 100% on that.................there are hundreds of fantastic 100 club plays that obviously during that part of the 8ts, ran consecutively with Stafford, but since is the single most influential venue, constantly breaking new tunes.......yes, other venues have come & gone & added a wealth of new plays, but for sheer longevity & the amount of newies played thru out that time the 100 Club is King...........long live the King !!!!!. Russ

welcome aboard Pete. Russ

Thinking about it further, packaged & promoted properly with good liner notes, this could be a very interesting CD comp methinks. Russ

Blue Jays was Stafford Im pretty sure.......altho again has been huge since...........I was pretty sure September Jones was Stafford Tony ????.......obviously has had plays since & yes I know David found the unissued September Jones cut imortalised at the Dome ???? anyone ??? Russ

Good point Ian............I think some have been comped, but dont neccessarily reflect that they are post Stafford, I also think that maybe Kent aside, previous eras are more commercially viable. Russ

Pretty sure it was, but can anyone confirm ????????. Jimmy Reed Jr-I Aint Going nowhere-Mercury ???????? Russ
