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?

Not sure if I listed the slower take for Andy in one of his lists, he has had both for sale, think one went for a £1000 or thereabouts if I remember rightly.

This is on or was on Pete French's site....

Here's the van dykes....

I've seen more fast Like you say Steve try finding one.

Martin is a tw*t and RIP and Teff trying to work Dean's out

I'd like to hear again as I missed much of the first hour.

Not only is that one of the most over rated records of all times, for me it has to be one of the worst, awful record. Our lass loves it and Nicola gave her a boot of it........I'm ashamed to have it on my shelves

Sounded good in Ivybridge Always gonna be good fun when Martin and Teff about.

It is a mini lp, 7 inch 33rpm, 6 tracks according to the following link HERE or is this the LP you refer to? Girls Watcher Little Miss Flirt Sunday Will Never Be The Same My Babys Love How Are You Fixed For Love Dedicated To The One I Love The Soul Clap can't help with your question though.

It says £40 in JM guide 5 but I can't find much on the internet regarding this 45. Just one on popsike at $42, two bids and from 2010.

I remember the article Rob, if I knew for certain what it was in I would know where to look. I seen to remember something about the Ben E King in the sleeve notes for the cd it is on.

Didn't even know Melba was performing. Same for several artists this year. The promotion of these acts isn't very good IMO. If anyone knows of any act give me a shout and I can put something up in the article section.

Suspicion was earlier, 1982, but it had a big influence as did many of the Motown that turned up at the same time.

we've had very little trouble at Lifeline, one incident at Sheridans which was quickly dealt with and we had one being a nuisance on the dance floor with the girls some months back and he was removed. I spend much of the night watching from the balcony, Mick and Andy never far away and we have at least three security on duty.

Really sad to hear this news although it doesn't come so much as a surprise. It has been a big part of my social life and I have had the privilege of DJing there a few times and I will miss the place greatly. Modern life has got in the way and Fridays don't lend well to a night for an all-nighter. Family, a seven day working week now and the large amounts of events, even local on the same night haven't helped. But nothing lasts forever so all that is left to do is make sure the Wilton goes out with a bang. This Friday could see the last all-nighter at the Ballroom so please help see it out in style, the same for Darrow Fletcher...lets see a full house. A big shout and much respect for Mouse, Dave and not forgetting Chris for what I hope will be 20 years of the Wilton All-nighter. Great people, great venue, great music and some great times.

Thank you. High praise indeed considering the quality of your podcasts. Must stress they aren't my records rather a showcase of what has gone before at Lifeline. The podcasts were done to help promote the nighter and introduce some more obscure records to the mainstream soulie.

I was of course referring to the all-nighters. It from what I remember didn't take long to go big and every man and his dog wanting a copy. Thats the power of a handful of top jocks having a record. Not like today when most top records are in the hands of just one, maybe two DJ's and take years to break.
