Weird world we live in. After Grant (RIP) gave me the link I made contact with Lenny (Jimmy Mack Harrison). He is married to Darlene who is the sister of a member of the Tams. They all appear to be in music. Jimmy and Darlene are living in Charlotte, N Carolina. They record as Jimmy and Darlene. They feature in the local music charts and perform locally. They recut Nothing as a duet last year. Nice version! They are aware of the Northern connection and were interviewed by Kev Roberts a couple of years back. They send me their latest CDs and I think they are really good! FYI.

I nearly always end with Donna King. FYI John Manship said somewhere that he had loads of Gerri Hall compared to DK.

I was invited to dj at The Printworks Manchester HUGE Soul alldayer. I am told 22,000 people attended over the day. This is the 5th such event for The Christie Cancer Hospital. Manchester. A truly great day and for a wonderful cause. I was a guest dj in the Bierkeller. Our title was Wigan Casino all day long. So here was my contribution to records that were played at Station Road.

The cover sleeve is in Ex condition. The vinyl is also Ex. It is a 2018 press. I am sorry but I cant tell you anything more about it. £40 if interested £3 p+p. SOLD SOLD SOLD

Thank You

Nice set. I must make the effort again. When is the next date please?

I could never spin without getting dizzy FFS! There were many like Vernon, Gethro, Danny (RIP) and my old mate Pete Wickham from Hemel.

I would speak with Keith Williams or Pete Smith. Both are on here I think or Facebook. Decent honest guys who will not rip you off.

That bloody Pow Wow rubbish FFS.

We go back to around 1974. We are both from Bedford and both support Spurs. I have lived in Stockport since 1979. I am totally shocked to hear this news. Rest in peace old mate. Love to the family Steve Foran

As the tears streamed down my face- Levi Stubbs from 4 Tops Shake me wake me!! Stunning!

Not sure the run out groove looks too wide. It should have either Bell Sound or Nashville matrix also.

I know Steve. I was promised 2 tickets back in October. Face value etc. The guy is a friend of my brother. He has something like 8 season tickets or at least access to 8 tickets. My brother was a season ticket holder. Anyhow he has stopped communication or at least appears to be away at present. Got a mate coming from Germany for the game. Bloody nightmare!! AND no £420 is too much for me. Cheers Steve Foran
