    🤣😂- What about the time you did two nighters on the trot Fri & Sat then thought the DS were following you home - all the way from Wigan or Wakefield- back to Huntingdon- then peering out the window through the nets to see if they’ve gone 🤪🤪😳😳😳😳😳😳😳

    🤣😂

    that happened to me zoom  following a fri oldies and a sat nighter !!  what a coincidence 🫣

    "Very few if any since have left an indelible mark on the scene. They have by and large been a continuation of what went before, popular yes/maybe but hardly ground breaking.  "

    agree karl    Wilton and Lifeline were Outstanding at that time  as tastes changed/evolved  so the scene did too in my experience   Expectations from the younger all nighter attendees were  for  Funkier Gritty Soul in some cases  cos they wanted to dance like we did  when we had some knees !!!  lol  

     Burnley Rugby Bury 100 club Bolton played  sounds that didnt  always cost big money   on the contrary the cheaper the better,  overlooked  missed    and were new to  the dancer /listener  broadly speaking   it was that element that created the Landmark Moments   magical  memories  packed dance floor

    I always liked Bury Town Hall as a nighter   you had the best of all worlds there with 3 rooms  Guests were excellent Kenwood was down my street  ...I had met and spoken with Simon and Len in the  previous visits .

    Pandemic  arrives       No events anywhere   life has totally changed    no work anywhere     very painful         Simon   walks Dog and  launches on line events

    Event is fantastic  Human communication is restored and flourishes to many  listeners as it grows . in size    .This event becomes the only show in town    unrivaled in its pursuit of Rare  and diverse Soul Music   .Anticipated weekly       ive spent 6 hours a week for over a year with you lot and we have all become great friends and shared some very unique moments in life. ! 

    What an honour for me to Request selections from everyone   I have got a MP3 of all of them  !!!!!       alas not the Vinyl     it cost time but i had plenty  

    My partner Lisa who proper hates  Northern said  " its like a new community that looks after each other"  I loved that  

    I  am very lucky to have friends like  you guys   and i will see you all at Bury  very soon   

    Thank you Simon and Pete   you have been brilliant 

    Warmest Wishes To All (Ill still be in the chat room on Sat )

    Thanks for the share bud im from Leeds lived on Burley Road for many years    the recollections of the Central were great , im 58 so missed the emerging years 74-77  and the Cats Whiskers in Meanwood      Central was called Scrumpys i seem to remember late 70,s    it also featured as a Jazz Funk Club/Night     with a lot of people getting in to that scene from Northern       kin ell thats over 40 years !!!!

    illegal venues speakeasy feel to things to challenge the  authority  could emerge   like prohibition  in the us in the 20 s   but we have the covid fker to consider               people with people   all talking   socialising  and dancing  what sort of world is that      all so quickly taken   !     Hope all on here are having a great day

    spot on pal the all nighter they have in Bolton is great       dean andersons sound of soul is groundbreaking    we might like the funkier side but its a bit like a really good nighter   only the best of everything    xover ultra rare        he did a session with Phil shields playing acetates which Chalky posted above   so good    not able to hear these anywhere 

    Martin L 

    A quick note of thanks Chalky .These mixcloud shares have been wonderful for me travelling all the time and it is a fantastic  resource for all of us where soul music has and will even more play a big part in our lives .

    I dont buy records,i never have  but attend venues up and down the country like many others on here and your work and Dean,s work putting it all together is really appreciated   Thanks pal

    same era ,very early Hacienda after party i was at once ,i wanted to dance in the corner  to Joe Smooths Promised land and everytime i clapped the whole room was paranoid   very funny now not so at that moment in time !! It was normal to me    i saw loads of people at the Hacienda who i first met at Morcambe  Pier or Wigan ,another bite of the musical  cherry
