Love the gravestone .. https://youtu.be/WkhfIIvZ40c

TUNE ... push the volume up and play this 9mins + track out !

Yah No .... another one gone RIP James

One of my favourite venues ... loved the style ,the sounds and that trip up the escalator ... as for records , well it would have to be The Carstairs “it really hurts me girl” and Montclair’s “ Hung up on your love “ . Also bought a few pieces of the dancefloor when they ripped it up and sold it off for £10 each ..

Karl , I too had tickets for the cancelled date last year . I truly hope his health is not too bad and he has just been ordered to keep resting before any long tour and travel, as he was doing quite a few dates and venues. You are right in thinking that we do tend to forget how old some of these artist are now , and some fair well while other can seem fragile . I saw Rudy Love at the 100 Club recently but he’s only 70’... Hope the great man is ok

Just heard that his London shows have been cancelled .. maybe the tour is off . anyone here about his health ?

Ahh the joys of climbing in Llanberris , while being 25 ... I remember them well . No I don’t , just glad I have the pics to remind me I did . Me doing the V sign with two of the Bolton boys .

Not a great picture , just thought it was interesting ... like the aviation version of Wacky Racers ... or you can hear the pilots saying before they left “ Last one to the Bahamas buys the Rum “ .. Droneless at Heathrow !

A very Merry Christmas to one and all .. May 2019 bring joy and happiness whatever happens regarding Brexit and regardless of whatever team you support.

Looking for a good clean copy of “ Let her go “ Otis Smith . Not sure I can afford the original but would be happy with second issue Styrene . PM with price and condition

Apologies - I know this thread is really about good quality pictures and I’ve trivialised things . it was a spur of the moment pic that I was sharing with a couple of other Manc mates and yes , please move it to the relevant “ What ever happened to “ thread .. understand . Sorry Steve’s

Took this picture today ... Didnt capture the moment that we’ll, but I think the framing and colours where just right ... could have been a lot better if there had been more time .

Serious collector wants any kind of Northern memrobillia from back in the 70’s & 80’s . Patches / flyers / record catalogues / membership cards / tickets . Not a dealer , so you can be assured it won’t be for resale or to make a quick buck. Especially looking for the rare patches like Pendulum Manchester - Va-Va’s - Cats Whiskers , Kettering Soul , or different colour variations than normal. I know it’s hard to part with the things that have a tanglable account of the “ I was there “ feeling .. and the memories of those times we all had. But if it’s now that time for you to let go, or pass on, then I have lots of rare patches / memrobillia , or even vinyl to swap, or cash waiting. PM if you have anything

Steve , all good here mate thanks .. hope same for you and yours ? Well it’s a coastline I don’t know that well ... but yes , some stunning beaches and walks .. retiring in two years at the most , and not sure where , but away from Edgware - N London that’s for sure !

Not biased but any pics of Cornwall do it for me .... so well done you two .. and o was at the Minac this summer ... great show again ..

That time of year I guess , waiting for the snow .

Agree with both the comments above and maybe i was being a bit too harsh on what I saw and heard. Musicaliy the harmonies of the Temps where great and it’s not possible to ever replace the voice of Mr Stubbs from the Tops , and yes line up have always changed. I think , looking back in hindsight , it was more about my own faragility with coping with age ... I just hope I can look half as good as the Duke does at nearly 80 . Hat - coat - Zimmer frame

Fair call ... I sometimes wish we did .. maybe a zimmer frame in the box would give Salah even more time to score .

Ok .. so how many members of an original group do you need to still call it by the same name ... 1 ? Well it was never going to be what it was 10 years ago let alone 40 years ago, but with now only 2 original members out of a line up of 9 ( one in each group ) was it ever going to rock the house. And didn’t help the “ Duke “ Fakir sang most of the set in a chair as he’s not long recovered from a broken hip. I made the only gig that didn’t include Tavares .. Southend and they still have 3 original members I think. It was maybe a sign of the times to see how many wheelchair users where being ushered in before the gig started and even a couple of punters with their portable dialysis machines ( fair play to them ). So I have to say my white hair didn’t look out of place. Was the music up to scratch, shame to say not really and defiantly didn’t match the £50 a seat price tag but then it’s really a very good tribute band. Backing band where great , helped by Earl Van Dykes son .. Bigg T . Great version of Silent Night to end with by the Temps . Shows that a lot of us are all nearing the end of our careers , and that you need your imagination to run away with you sometimes or was it my ball of confusion.

Not Antoney Gormely statue at my home town ..Crosby ? Either way what a great idea ... wish I’d done it !

Stunning guys and girls ... what a result . I lost my Mum to cancer and sadly it was a long drawn out protracted affair .. not nice . My partner also lost her former husband to the dreaded “ C “ after another long 7 year battle . Really well done to all

Yea ... I know what you mean mate ... the number of cards I went through ... don’t know how many I lost in my Mums washing machine ...

I have number 22 original Red ... and Pink Ladies .. and even back in the day fakes where made ..

As far as I know Steve , they officially came out in two shades of Blue ... light and darker - Pink ladies - Red old original -and kind of two shades of Yellow but might just be age ) Wonder if anyone else know different .. ?

Same seller has come up with this idea ... not sure ... but he certainly is trying
