Love these stories regarding SS, was told by a good mate of mine who had some dealings with Soussan that it was like doing business with an eel. Just when you think you had got to grips with him, he would slip out of your hands and disappear. Great character we are still discussing 50 years later.

Really shocked to hear about the passing of Ted. Always shook hands and had a quick word when we met, but i really didnt know the man or him me (how many on the scene do we really know ). Came across as a really nice unassuming bloke and you cant say that about many. Really needs something to get me out these days and Ted DJing was a good reason to make the effort and get out. Will miss the smile and handshake, and yet another reason not to make the effort and get my arse off the settee. RIP Ted

Didnt understand why such a low reserve was put on the Groovettes. I got mine at The Wilton nighter years ago and it cost me a grand from my good mate John Phillips. I knew that i had paid over the odds, but it was a mint minus copy with no damage to the label, and one of my favourite oldies. Have seen this on auction sites a number of times and it has failed to make a lot more than i paid years ago, but the winning bid on Tim,s auction really did shock me. Brilliant record but not a really rare one in my opinion. Crazy

Terri Goodnight finished on £3,932. Worth every penny. You wont see one again.

Terri Goodnight - They Didnt Know- Phelectron At last a proper real deal rare record and top quality northern. Dont hear this played too often. Dont know if the price reached will truly reflect the rarity of this record. Top Top Northern, one of the best.

Many thanks for all your help. Managed to get two tickets. Looking forward to seeing old mates.

Can anyone throw some light on the Cleethorpes Pier All dayer on the 08/02/2025. This seems to by way of face book only. Have found the advert with the price per ticket at £20.00 but no details of how to get a ticket, and no mention of DJ line up. I cant even find any details of what the place is like now inside. I know it was a night club but it is now a Fish & Chip restaurant. Can anyone help with this.

Thanks for the issues Chalky. Brought back good memories of those early days. Love those stories Frank told about Soussan. My old mate Johnny Phillips was over from oz in the summer and he had some great stories regarding dealing with Soussan. Don,t know what happened to the digging book Andy Dyson was looking at bringing out, but these stories really need putting down on paper before were all gone, and Bristol Soul Club re writes the history, because nothing happened before Bristol started.

My wife always had a fan at Wigan. Bottom corner near the mens toilets, wafting away 10 to the dozen, talking to the old bloke who always hovered about there (What his job was god only knows)

Took my missus to Gleneagles for our 40th wedding anniversary. Sat in the bar at night and Eula Cooper blasted out. We both looked at each other thinking we had been set up. But no, just a suprise random play.

Ay up Gaz. Hope you are well. Had some great times at The comrades on a Thursday and The Drum on a Friday and then off to the Casino. Up the M62 with my Beetle packed and then back and dropping you off at your grandma,s at Bawtry. Great days.

What a great voice Gladys HAD

Just found an old R Soul magazine which i used to buy at The Wilton All -nighter. I,ve not seen this for years, and i pissed myself, really clever and really funny. The one i found was issue no8, which featured - Things you didnt know about Richard Dimebar - When Roger met Jenny (in depth report on Roger Banks wedding) - Full, Bizarre and true story regarding The Doberman Pincher Twins - Unsolved mystery, The hunt for Kev Robots -Sex scandal involving Andy Brix - Which one are you quiz, Deon Anderson or Little John -Top Doncaster DJ Dave Sausage mad scientist shock story- Sam Soul dating the worlds oldest living corpse Dame Barbara Cartland - Nottingham DJ Robert Smith found in a block of ice - John Ovenchip selling a genuine imitation Wigan Casino Brick - Togetherness , back in time, Northern soul like it used to be 5 million years ago. Brilliant piss take of people we all know and some who are sadly no longer with us. Can anyone throw some light who used to write and get this brilliant mag out to the all nighters.

Groundhog day springs to mind
