Acts from 1990

Lorraine Silver did a PA if memory serves one afternoon, she came with Levine. Chuck, JJ, HB were 1990. Martha was 89 at the Motown Weekender I think although she could have been later as well?

Dig it out mate, this sort of stuff needs to be out there to show the infidels there was life after wigan

About 10k

All the radio for 91 is on my mixcloud page. What format is the frankie gaye on, vhs? I’m getting or hopefully getting some videos transferred when I find a reputable company to do it.

The Rust release was the same peoduction company, Ridon.

I’ve always gone by the rule you don’t pay something another DJ who is on discovered, not that I really had to worry about that too much 😂

I definitely come into the lazy catagory. I like to think of it as a busy life though 😂 Glad I don’t have to worry about this anymore.

I’d select records I thought appropriate for the night, other than not that much planning. I usually took a 200 box and chose from them. Yes there was some that definately would be played but no thought went into the order.

Always enjoyed the more spontaneous sets rather than something that has had some planning.....go with the flow as they say

I don’t really have any, I don’t think I’ve ever planned a set. I mean I do sort records for the night but never really think about what is first or what will be last. All depends on how the previous set has been received and what they floor is expecting.

£570 for Patti

Yes I know its the 100 Club. The weekend Ray was on at 100 Club/Yarmouth it was @lorchand Lorraine Chandler, Eddie Parker, Pat Lewis, Garland Green and Ray Pollard. Jackie Day was also billed but she she failed to turn up? 1st flyer with earlier bookings.... amended flyer....

Yes, he was at Yarmouth too

Never seen a demo before mate, nice

Mark Wilson sent me a copy of the video of some of the acts at Yarmouth's vauxhall Caravan Park, scene of one of the best Northern Soul Weekenders back in 1990/91 time. Several acts on this 2 hour of film, Lorraine Chandler, pat Lewis, Ray Pollard, ben E king I think....

Mello Souls...guess you had to be there when it was first played, proper amphetasoul. The intro just grabs you by the bollox and pulls you to the floor. Proper all-nighter record! Still think of it as Butch's Del-larks

£3705 Not sure about Patti. I will ask Tom.

He can’t have been very good, all he guarded got shot 😂

Gutted I can’t make it, away with work and only found out about the date today. Sure he will have a send off as Dave would want it.

It is Jimmy Radcliffe, recorded in this country I believe. I think Ion had the original studio acetate which was maybe uncredited.

Rosey was also a presidential bodyguard too wasn’t he? Jimmy Gresham was part of the New Yorkers with him too.

Ive made contact with Sandy, well messaged her but she doesnt seem interested and won’t reply. Nate had a stroke or something like a few years ago and also seems relectant to answer messages and emails.

Fabulous

There was one for sale recently on here for 400, dunno if it sold.
