Chalky

Great northern IMO.

don't think so, been in his box ages, was talking to him at Bury and I said I was surprised it was still there

no

Dave Rivers had one at Bury for I think 1200

There is a difference, in the mix or arrangement. Been acouple of topics about it in the past. Anthony Smith first brought this to my attention at These Old Shoes years ago.

Both originals mate

It was turned up in the early 90s, 91 or 92. Tim Brown I tjink sold it to Rob Marriott who I think sold it to Mark Wilson in Scotland not long after. Long before CSC.

Who had them made?

£20 for a VG+ copy of the Velvelettes on discogs, and like Ted says p*sses all over the Blue Sharks.

Both original...anyone who thinks otherwise is an arse

I thought Eddie Foster was Russ/Black Abbotts?

Sorry, I meant 115, the 80s issue and its Billy Kennedy if memory serves....allegedley.

Thelma 114 is Emanuel Laskey and not Joe Matthews.

I once posted the newspaper clippings from the time on here.... I quite like the song, so do 100s of others as it rams the floor every time.

Far too many seem to care about their public persona amongst fellow venue goers and the wider public. They seem to clamour some sort of credibility and want everyone to know what they are doing, where they are going etc and seem to miss the point that this was what we strove to avoid. I personally didn't want my divvy mates knowing what I was doing on any given weekend. Now the scene is full of divvy soulies, all too happy to dumb down the scene and let all and sundry know what is happening. It is plastered all over social media, superstar soulies in their own lunchtime who in reality have done fcuk all for the svene except take from it what they can.

I wouldn't go as far as divs but many certainly miss the whole point of the scene and all-nighters. The social aspect that has taken over the soul night is creeping into nighters. Far too many don't seem to care about the music, it is all far too nice and the edge and attitude you once had has all but disappeared.

a real one, or the one I had is a million miles off grey....

Listened earlier, excellent once again. Track listing please

I wish there had been more with your thinking, we'd still be running. Andy and Mick, I doubt they made much profit over the 12 years it ran. Trouble is the nighter scene is fast becoming a social scene with the music secondary, some spend more time outside with the smokers than they do paying attention to what is being played.

Decent promoters 100 quid, twice that and plus for the real top names. I would say thought that the average would be £50/£75, not totally sure. The side rooms will get nothing or at the very least a nominal amount.

The label is a real giveaway but the biggest giveaway is the fact that two unrelated artists are on either side. Just an emidisc as said probably.

One of tne reasons we kept entrance fee to a tenner rather than £12 was the messing about with change £15 would have been a step to far for many.....

Solid Hit always a quality night out the times I went. Well worth a fiver, today or 11 years ago.

No

Looking at the poll, I love one of those who think entrance fees are to high to explain why? Most nighters are ten hour affairs, soul night at least five. Why is a fiver or tenner to high?
