Walter Jackson"it's all over" "Let me come back" "Suddenly I'm all alone"..could be intended for Playing in that order,one hell of a story.

Saw her at the M.E.N in Mcr a few years back, she was really disappointing. A really odd set and too much time spent chatting to the band,reminiscing with one member. That was billed as the"farewell tour"obviously a lot older now too!

Oi you two,check Emmett Gardner"check out what you've got"mid tempo version of the Mayfield singers, right up your street!

It's not a "Maxime's" membership is it,that logo seems familiar. Some years ago I had a "big wheel"soul club membership which came with the declaration"the virus that was northern soul is dead"and went on to proclaim that salvation was at hand.I think the location was Blackpool, I don't think they ever got under way though.

Richard Searlings old"Salvadors"cover up,if the old memory serves.

She chose Dobie Grey yesterday on Radio2..Ooer! "Heartache ave"by the Maisonettes was a little flat in places I thought.. maisonettes,flat..never mind I'll get me coat!

Antiques.. aren't they great!

Frank Lynch..what a great uplifting track that is.. well in!

Did he have an"ask Pete"agony column for the confused amongst us?..or even"pop up"surgeries from various venues? They could've been held in adjoining cubicles in the bogs along the lines of a confessional...forgive me Pete,for I know not what I do,I have succumbed to the lure of the 12"..'ll get me coat!

I would have thought it was easy to make comments like those at that time,I'm sure no one thought there was a finite amount of top quality 60's sounds to be discovered, but as we know from the last few years this is turning out to be the case.So who's the forward thinker?.Would be interesting to have his opinion today, would he still be as static or would he have thrown his hat in with the majority of us?

Fletcher Walker, what a stunning piece of music that is.

When we want your opinion by the way,we'll give it to you.

You're far too opinionated already, mouth shut, ears open, listen and learn. Put some considerable time in,then you can pontificate on here,you'll only alienate folk by not respecting what or who went before.. amen.

"Hair is the first thing,and teeth the second, hair and teeth.. A man got those two things, he's got the lot"..James Brown(who had both in abundance)

Maybe too fast these days? Always had people throwing themselves around the dancefloor at its peak though didn't it? Mid tempo,even down tempo seems to be the"in vogue"style at many venues, ie Bernard Drake, Arthur Foy etc,something the over 40's can actually dance to!

Hard to believe how Carl Carlton's version hardly ever features,can't remember the last time I heard it anywhere.

Clark's "commando's"real sensible footwear, animal tracks on the sole and the added bonus of a compass in the heel..just the job for getting down.

Spot on,talented guys.

Peter's son plays keyboards and sings backing vocals for depeche mode, check his superb vocal on"I'm not in love"on you tube,a really talented guy.

Another great radio theme,Alan Haven"image"atmospheric Hammond organ inst.Used by many including our own Mr Evison.Hammond...a vital organ!

Saw em yesterday Pete,donkey stoning thier front doorsteps in Gorton, still a pair of lookers!

"Rubberband"by them also worthy,sampled(stolen)lots of times.. by that 50 pence fella to name but one.

Just to diversify, The Chi Lites cover of"inner city blues"pushes Marvin real close, must rank as one of the best ever covers.

I like to showcase styles of dance that are referred to in songs,I.e camel walk,mashed potato, New breed boogaloo when I'm out, although the hucklebuck drew some stares, and I'm struggling at the moment with the titty shaker!
