Chalky

Pete living in Sweden now. He is on FB so can get in touch if can get something organised.

Steve Kilgour is around, does still go to Thorne and he is on FB. Think a memorial night is a good idea, maybe not same night as current Thorne?

He'd usually nursed quite a few by the end of the night. Like Tat's said elsewhere going to miss the grin that never left his face. He was always laughing and joking and taking the p*ss. His taste in music was second to none and as others have said he was a great DJ. An inspiration to many and one who set trends not followed. So so sad and still can't take it in.

I know Gary isn't a member but many will know him. Gary passed away earlier today. That's about all I can say right now but will let you know more as I get it. I'm gutted, known Gary a long time and proud to call him a mate. He will be missed by all who knew him My heart goes out to Piddy and to all his family.

I don't have that track on any of the 4 tapes in front of me. Have found it on a cd on a website for sale, looks like a boot cd, but can't listen. I have a couple of dozen CD's of u/r Motown, I'll have a look tomorrow.

I have all those unreleased Motown somewhere....just checking one UR Motown tape from JM now, tape 774.

Nope don't think they are, certainly doesn't start off as quoted. I can't find any track called "Wildflower" either.

or bid on it?

I can't see it either on anything I'm watching on .co.uk or .com and like you I'm not seeing anything like the screenshot.

Isn't it just the seller who can see how many are watching. I've not seen it on any items I've viewed this afternoon.

The number of watchers is only available to the seller isn't it and its not a new option, it's been here sometime but I think you had to select the option? I've always had completed items down the left hand side as well, never used to do an advanced search to get to completed items.

Grooms is a rare record and a tough one to find. It has had spins at lifeline, it's on the Andy Dyson podcast as well on my page.

Done a search and more dates here.... http://www.ents24.com/web/artist/87433/Richard_Street.html Sat 22nd Sept St George's Concert Hall Bradford Mon 24th Sep Rotherham Civic Theatre Rotherham Wed 26th Sep Hall For Cornwall (HFC) Truro Thu 27th Sep Grand Pavilion Porthcawl Fri 28th Sep Concorde 2 Brighton Sat 29th Sep Embassy Ballroom Selsey Sun 30th Sep Pyramid & Parr Hall Warrington Tue 2nd Oct King's Lynn Corn Exchange King's Lynn Thu 4th Oct The Alban Arena St. Albans Fri 5th Oct Ferneham Hall Fareham Sat 6th Oct Club Tropicana Skegness Sun 7th Oct Orchard Theatre Dartford Tue 9th Oct Newcastle City Hall Newcastle upon Tyne Wed 10th Oct The Jam House Birmingham Thu 11th Oct The Marine Hall Fleetwood Fri 12th Oct Towngate Theatre & Conference Centre Basildon Sat 13th Oct Regent Theatre Ipswich Sun 14th Oct Everyman Theatre Cheltenham Tue 16th Oct Assembly Hall Theatre Tunbridge Wells Wed 17th Oct The Camberley Theatre Camberley Sun 21st Oct Floral Pavilion Theatre New Brighton Tue 23rd Oct Hull City Hall Hull Wed 24th Oct The Jam House Edinburgh Thu 25th Oct Rothes Halls Glenrothes Fri 26th Oct Pavilion Theatre Glasgow Sat 27th Oct Albert Halls (Festival Hall) Bolton

If anyone sees any artist worth a mention, let me know and I'll sort some sort of article out and at least let everyone on here know.

I don't think George Lemons was expected to sell though, they used the studio for more criminal means didn't they. I rarely see anyone say they like it but it rams the floor everywhere it is played. Anyway I like it. Agree about the Barbara Dane though.

nothing more negative or pointless than the likes of you complaining that a topic is pointless Nev. It is simply a knockabout, little thought required topic, something to get involved with if the fancy takes you.

The last time I looked at the site rules, there was nothing in them that forced you to read topics like this. If you think they are pointless read something else, it is popular with many others seeing as there are ten pages so far. Personal opinion above btw, not site.

Yes but the topic is about what we think is over-rated isn't it so what did he expect?

I've had today off work, if I'd known I'd have had Monday off as well and gone. Do they promote these gigs? Several artists this year haven't had the foggiest that they are touring.

Why? I've never been fond of the Del Larks to be honest, can take it or leave it.

wouldn't be far off my top ten that one.....

Gotta agree it is a great biog. Like you wasn't aware of all his connections, you hear his name and simply think Motown.

Think they must have made a mistake putting two shows same date down?

It would appear he is doing some sort of tour. he has dates at the following..... 28 Sep Brighton, Concorde 2 30 Sep Warrington, Pyramid and Parr Hall 30 Sep Warrington, Warrington Parr Hall 9 Oct Newcastle upon Tyne, Newcastle City Hall Not sure what the crack is with two Warrington dates on the same date?
