Wicked

Many years ago when I was working on building sites our foreman would say ' we're doing floors tomorrow (the old way, hammer and nails) so put plasters on your fingers before you start so we don't have to stop when you whack your fingers.

Loved The Hill watched it a few times, not a bad James Bond either.

I'm sure I went to this one with some of the Llandudno crowd I remember Soul Sam was on when we got there. I don't remember it being very good and I'm sure we only stayed a couple of hours.

Mine suggested kitchen fitter, which is ok as I am a joiner, other suggestions were, astronomer and soldier (at nearly 65 I don't think so)

Betty for me too, just love her voice.

Billy's version is a classic, no doubt about it, but I think I'd rather listen to Jerry's version these days.

I remember a seeing a guy in Wigan with a pair of baggies made from beer towels. And you think you didn't look cool.

Yes I went there not a bad nighter as far as I can remember.

My son bought me the Memphis '68 and the Harlem '69 for my birthday a couple of weeks ago, I've just started the Memphis '68, all very good so far.

Linda Jones and Whatnauts all day long. One of her best I would say.

Could be Pat Swallow or something like that, there was a bit of tension between Llandudno and Rhyl (skinhead days) so we didn't go there.

Gotta be Howard.

I went there on a coach with the North Wales Soul Club, what a dump of a place. Sound system was dreadful my ears were ringing for days after. I do remember the Joker being played a few times that night, can't remember the DJs though. I think we had a better time going around some rough pubs in the city centre earlier in the night.

Artistics for me but JH great version also, I'm not so much into the up-tempo stomp stomp stuff these days but ask me in 6 months time and it might be different.

Great record, better than some of the sh*te I've heard over the years.
