News: They Danced All Night - Gethro Jones - Book Review
Just got a copy,knew gethro threw bucky,trev n Pauline etc,lovely bloke,allways got time for him,and my fav dancer,i still try to emulate his moves best I can,read 15 chapters and cant put it down,sure its about his home town n wigan ,so what,a lot better book than some soulie tales out there and incredibly moving in places,i'll never complain about my lot again! as books go about the scene this is THE BEST I've read, I'd love a sequel, but it's a lot of work and his life's private ,so we'll have to wait and see! as for the critics,come on it's a damn good book,good on yer geth and many thanks for the book [pete - the bloke who had the blue Suzuki with matching exhausts ]

Dean Parish Cleethorpes Weekend 1St Appearance
Hi all,a while back 2004 ? Dean Parish played live at Cleethorpes weekender,i think it may have been the first time he'd been over ,anyhow,during his set he said he had written a new tune - the previous night ? , called "Northern soul dancer",not a bad ditty as i recall mentioning the iconic venues. I, like most there,was dumb struck by his superb performance,and forgot to film it,now has anyone got that on film? and if possible please could they let me know,or better still put it on you tube ?,many thanks pete
