    Look out for the James Conwell (Exits) Album (if you can get a decent copy), it's bloody awesome.

    Shoeshine Boy, Sundown & Gotta have money on the lp along with other Exits numbers not on 45's

    Just seen it's an original post from 2006 - Derrrrrrrrrr!!!

    Cheers

    I saw it written by Pep (I think) that it was played at the Catacombs before Wigan opened. I think the album was released in 1972, the Cats closed in 74, so highly likely, although that was the era of 100 mph stompers.

    I wonder how it went down at the catacombs, as to me it would have been a record ahead of it's time in the early 70's with that kind of arrangement, perhaps this was the reason it was never released when it was originally recorded, it just did'nt fit with the musical style of  60's motown.

    It's a fantastic 'summer' song, I love it.

    It seems to me that at many 'general' Northern soul events that the musical spectrum has no boundary.

    So you could hear Wully Bully to Amy Winehouse and anything in between on the same night. One man's soul is another man's nightmare, so to speak.

    "Wully Bully to Amy Winehouse" - surely that's just a jukebox at the local pub :huh:, remind us where this goes on and I'll make sure I'm a million miles away :yes:

    file was a pdf - techno dummy

    Just thought I would post this local paper review of the recent Wilton gig, hope that's ok with anyone that's mentioned. Just to add the reviewer is a local author/historian, so not your typical gig reviewer.

    Lastly, yeah it was all he says and probably more,

    Great names indeed Kev, (although not quite upto 80's standards).

    Been reading through some of it, some reflective and apt quotes on Cilla Black.

    Also liked the comment from a club goer about the club expanding the floor space to capitalise on the growing popularity of merseybeat, and in doing so killed the cellar club atmosphere, so he and probably many others switched to the smaller cavern club.

    No glitterballs on Northern Soul Nights

    No gimmicks 

    I'm promoting it, am I Mr Blobby?? :P

    Mr Blobby was in reference to another post about a custard factory - I always thought Mr Blobby and Custard went together, never mind, I thought it was funny  :tumbleweed3: 

    Anyhow Good luck to all involved (especially the money men/women) if there is anything that is making good bucks today it's entertainment. ( your own clothing line though, will be the kiss of death )
