Think I may have bought some white label motown stuff off you in the late 90's? -
Civic Hall Whitchurch? I thought they were only bank holiday dayers?
-
The Ritz for me were just exceptional dayers with artists on and a diverse play list from the DJ's. Carousel Ballroom in Longsight were good too but it was always pissing down walking to it from Pic station. Cats Whiskers Burnley had a fabulous dance floor and was the first time I heard Soul Sam play George Kirkby.

Yes I went to at least two probably in 77/78. It was straight down the A49 from me so gave it a go a couple of times. TBH I can't remember many DJ's except Brian Rae or anything else except a good dance floor. Did it have another room upstairs? I have a feeling it may have been Bank Holiday Monday dayers? BTW I remember coming to your gaff many years ago to buy some white label Motown stuff. Dave Harris

Believe me (drum banging) it goes on a lot a sports grounds. Having watched Leigh Leopards more recently than my football team Man City. I kinda like the way it builds up the game but you have to be there to appreciate the tribalism. It makes for a great atmosphere.

Possibly. It was 1.50 ordered from a local record shop who had a list of imports they could get. It was on a blue Vee Jay label sounded really good too. But I thought the genuine copies were on a pink NUVJ label. May be it was a genuine re issue. It's long since gone now. My auntie actually got me UK demo as well when she worked at British overseas radio in Berlin.

That was a huge wigan sound. I bought it off Tony Just for a fiver on white vinyl and sold it a week later to my mate at work in Rylands wire works Warrington for seven quid. To buy Ronnie Forte from Soul Bowl.
-
My first was Don Thomas Come On Train then shortly after I bought a metal EMI Disc at Wigan hand written Night Owl on one side and Inky Winky Wang..... on the other. Probably 76/77 not completely sure of the year. Flood gates opened after that with I'm Where it's At, Forgive and Forget and I'm Cumin Home In The Morning.

I'm saddened to hear of Brian's passing. Other than in M's I remember him at the Carlton Club Warrington with my old mate Keith Brady. Rest In Peace Brian

For me the Kent albums were a goldmine of unissued stuff I loved all those oldies too. But it was things like Its Torture, I want a guarantee, Magic Touch, Chuck Carter Hey Girl He's a Lover that were just fantastic to hear for the first time. Me and a friend hoovered up as many as we could get our hands on especially from King Bee in Manchester. I think the last I recall buying was the Dore album on vinyl. Then I moved on to the CDs albums. Highlights being Up Town Down South, LA Happening, Old Town/Barry, Carnival and the Northern Soul Spectrum collection. Great thread btw Dave

Hardhitting TV the young kid was fabulous. Graham rarely disappoints and he didn't here surely an award on it's way for this.
