Winsford Soul

Thats so true. Every thing has become pigeon holed up in to what ever that latest buzz word is ( funky edged ) for example. Scrap the boxes, play the tunes if they're good they will set there own demand and reaction Steve

Trust your well As you know it was the other side Sweet and heavenly melodies that first brought it to attention. Which nobody plays out anywhere to my knowledge. A happy Bob along tune that's maybe slightly popish for today but no reason why it can't be played in a forgotten type set. Steve

Martyn. It's a good job you had your big lens with you just in case you had to fight it off. Or you could have hid beneath it. Lovely photo as always mate Steve

Bury Town Hall Nighter. Ordinary Joe. Terry Callier. I who am nothing. All Williams Country Girl. Christine Cooper Put that women down. John Leach I still love you . Seven Souls I've got to mention there where some fantastic records played by the absolutely lovely Sarah Jane that I didn't know. Pleasure to get to meet you. Play list please Steve Riker played some great records. Play list please mate. So my top five may alter from the classic oldies listed above . I was obviously in a oldies mood last night. Steve

Don't know if I should post this here or in comedy sale of the day. Broadway's. You just don't know £150. C,Mon. That's a price that's more than sky rocketed. That's a fcuking joke it's a £40 record Steve

Thank you Sir Steve

I'm still on my rite of passage after 43 years going nighters and still loving the journey. It continues tonight Steve

Frank one of Widnes finest. is still about on the scene. Turns up at various venues in the North West now and again Steve ( another of Widnes finest )

Barry are you sure It wasn't you and your wife walked in and caught you watching it . Great record by the way Steve

Swifty. Trust your well sir. The ken dodd mix would be worth a fortune now I'm glad you left out Widnes when you referenced St Helens and Warrington . We are truly original from my home town of Widnes not like those bootlegs from the other two places Steve

It's so sad Mark. I even forgave him for going over to the dark side ( modern scene) . Steve

It taken me 24 hours to get round to posting this. Mark Clugston has passed away after a long illness. I'm gutted for Pam and all his family. Mark your not suffering anymore my friend. You never gave up. Sleep well and rest in peace . It was a privilege to have known you. I spent one of the greatest most emotional nights of my life with Mark. We travelled by coach from Manchester to Barcelona for the European champions league final on the 26th May1999. Between Manchester United and Bayern Munich. For as long as I live I will never ever forget that time. Steve n Lou. X

Didn't get to see any Swallows again today but I did get to see my first returning Hirundines of the year . Sand Martins X 6 at lunch time. No photographs unfortunately, seen through binoculars at about 500 metres distance Forgot to add that I saw a butterfly as I was driving home from Pennington flash, didn't get chance to identify it.

Thanks Johnny, Wasn't sure about posting it and I didn't really think that you would be responsible after seeing how you care in your photographs. Steve

Great pictures Johnny, the Whippet looks well chilled Steve

Johnny, Little tip mate, The birds can get their claws caught in the mesh and trapped , sometimes dying. Please use proper feeders . Steve

Moorhen with a dead Perch Steve

Thanks mate much appreciated bit grainy with pushing the ISO due to the awful weather and light conditions this morning but the lake was as flat as a mill pond. Steve

Spent the morning looking for the first returning Swallows of the year. For the last two years I have been lucky enough to see them on the 27th March but today wasn't my time. This date is the earliest that I have ever seen them in the UK so maybe the recent bad weather has stopped them returning as early this year. Three Sand Martins did fly through Steve

Great crested Grebe. Just about to dive looking for fish Steve

Love it Dave. Steve

Too many my friend in fact about half of those have been taken to the big all nighter in the sky. R.I. P Steve
