  1. If you can't get any - check with the Komedia in the week leading up to the nighter - they normally have some returns - I got one last year that was a return. Cheers
  2. Got to be James Phelps for me - first heard this in Micky Powney's house in 1975 and thought it was brilliant - but didn't hear any of the versions played out until around 87/88 ?
  3. Such sad news RIP Bobby Bland
  4. Very sad news RIP Mary Love
  5. Really saddened by this news - truly one the greats and one of the coolest gals around - God Bless Manus
  6. Fantastic news
  7. RIP Terry Callier - what a talented man and not only a great performer but also an immense , dignified presence on stage.
  8. Very sad news RIP Frank
  9. Thought this was a good programme - maybe overlong but definitely worth watching in my opinion. Cheers Manus
  10. I haven't made it up to Just Soul yet as I live on the South Coast it's a bit difficult - but the playlists are phenomenal and Sean and Tats recent Solar radio outing was the finest two hours of Soul I've ever heard on the radio. Cheers Manus
  11. Benny was a character - I wonder is he still playing table tennis - give him my best if you see him Frankie. Cheers Manus
  12. Hello Shelly Chris passed away last year - he was running a bar in Thailand it was bit of a shock when I heard about it as he was a larger than life character and always good for the craic - the Newcastle fans website NUFC.com posted a picture of him and some words on his life which was a nice touch. I understand he'd been suffering from stomach pains that resulted in a burst ulcer. He was a great lad - I hadn't seen him since the 80s but he always had a big smile on his face. I remember one particular naughty night at Bloomers Monday Soul night in Newcastle about 74 with Chris and Benny and a few others which still makes me laugh today. Swifty's still around I saw him about 5 years back at a good friends funeral and Frankie McCue is on here as Timemarcheson and was a regular at Walkers so it must be him that you remember. I left Newcastle in 86 but it's possible we might have met at some point Cheers Manus
  13. Hello Frankie I remember that dancefloor at the Oxford used to bounce like a trampoline lol and everybody used to walk around in circles around the dancefloor and the same upstairs with the booths. Heady days and I agree many great lasting friendships made through the mutual love of Soul music. Cheers Manus
  14. Sorry Steve- I thought you were talking about Steve Tulip's post but now I can see you meant an earlier post about Easington - must drink less wine but it was a wee bit confusing. Cheers
  15. Yes Jimmy 1977 - I was drunk for a month lol - great days. All the best Manus
  16. Hello Steve - hadn't realised it was you mate - thanks for the kind words about the Balmbras/Collingwood nights - always good to see people like yourself and Ronnie down there enjoying the sounds. Cheers Manus
  17. In fairness I don't think he said that - he said it was "one" of the best and maybe it's best to qualify that statement with "that I attended" to save argument but checking his posts he only has 14 so far so he's obviously not used to the jungle that is Soul Source. It wasn't a Soul venue it was 100% Reggae so I don't think he was comparing it to specific Soul nights but to music nights in general. After all these years it's great to hear how much people enjoyed the club - I wouldn't make great claims for it other than we all had a great time and some fantastic tunes were played - but I can say for certain that it was the best Reggae club in Newcastle at the time without fear of contradiction - as it was the only Reggae club in Newcastle at the time lol. All the best Manus
  18. I was too young for the Go Go my first experiences were the Oxford Galleries ( under 18s night) in Newcastle 1970 and the local Welfare Hall in 69 both played predominantly Tamla Motown with some Reggae. I remember the Club A Go Go as being the only place the older kids talked about - it had a room for younger ones - called the Young Set I think and all the local mods went, Otis Redding and Hendrix were among the acts that played there. When you say Quinny - do you mean Chris Quinn (RIP) or maybe Johnny Quinn who were both on the Soul scene and Frank Lucas ? or maybe Frankie McCue both big Soul fans and I'm sure Frankie McCue made it too the Go Go being a couple of years older. Cheers Manus
  19. Hello Frankie - Hope you're keeping well - I heard you were up in Scotland now. All the best Manus
  20. Thanks Mike Radio could have been one of the local stations as they play a lot of Soul but I remember doing a spot a couple of times for a pirate station run by some students in the west end of Newcastle and playing Soul and Reggae but that was the early 80s. Cheers Manus
  21. That nighter was at the Sombrero Tony ( it had been renamed Togo's by then) - Biff Swift and myself ran it and I put on a bus fron Newcastle - the nighter ran throughout 79. Maybe this thread should be merged with the one about NE venues in All Our Yesterdays - Moderators ? Cheers Manus
  22. Hello Jeff - just spoken to old man Matty on the phone - he said he remembers a couple of nighters at Hofbrauhaus in Newcastle - mid 80s ? I think I'd left the NE by then but I remember Martha Reeves playing there about 82. All the best Manus
  23. Hello - here's a thread from a few years back that might be of interest to you. Cheers Manus
  24. Great release Paul - nice one
