That got me a few spots in the Nottinghamshire area too. Used to spend my lunch hours frequenting Ally Mayer’s record stall on Leicester market and Boogaloo Records on Granby Street picking up lots of great vinyl as well as the lists from soul bowl & mick smith. Was a regular at the 100 club in the late 80’s & early 90’s with my tape recorder in tow. Along with Bob Lee & Mark Wilson was a mainstay of the soul room of the Phoenix Nights Scooter Rallies which ran between 2006 - 2019 before covid intervened. It was at one of these that Les Norman heard me play and in 2023 I had the honour of a doing a spot at the Dark Horses all-nighter.
