Star West Record Label
Played as a new release at Bradford amongst other places, agreed top tune, I dug it out again about 5 years ago & have given it an odd play since to great dance floor reactions. Thanks for reminding me of the other label Nick. I only mentioned the Wes Black release, as a way of indentifying the label as such, its the Star West Discography that Im after please, if anyone can help. Many thanks Russ

How Bad Was Wigan, Really
It was all good, hind sight is a wonderful thing, some cherry pick their periods of time at WC cos some periods now are considered more worthy than others, I went from '77 until mid '81 ish, didnt go every weekend, some months once, some months every Saturday, only ever did 2 Friday oldies nights.....for me I thought it was all bloody brilliant...hind sight tells me some of the records were pop, but TBH as a 15 year old I didnt really have a clue about soul music, it was all about dancing & feeling part of an underground scene, my musical education came later, on the whole & mostly after WC had closed its doors....some people think we're impressed when they say, WC was crap between so n so n so n so, what they really mean is other factors stopped them attending & they feel they need some sort of excuse to explain away the lost years.... in some circles certain folk try to impress other folk with thier 'soulful credentials', most of which they have read on here anyway & didnt experience personally....so, to conclude WC was just another soul venue playing the records of the time, one thing I will say tho, is I would much rather attend an Allnighter than a soul night & the Mecca was a soul night, it broke tunes for the Nighters to play....

Oh dear, why do some just have to try n stir things up, do you not get enough attention at home...if you havnt got an intelligent, positive reply, then why bother ?. Russ

Repeat Tunes Played Venues
If its a 'hot' record for ya, play it twice in the set, once at the beginning, once at the end, that way makes people more familiar with the sound & breaks quicker, if its an oldie, once in a night is more than enough..... Best Russ
