Carstairs is brilliant but.... did you ever go swimming after Wigan Ian?. You've got to be able to laugh at yourself. This is for Mark Bicknell . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20joRwqro00&NR=1

Ian,you answered question#1,(still think you played Wigan around that time,,wiganer1?) ....but not question#2..Which position did you play?

£30,000?

Hi,didn't frequent Clee that much,but went to SAM'S a few times. But are you saying that they played more new releases than the Mecca,and were more upfront?. '76 seemed to me to be the turning point towards disco at the Mecca. Maybe all 3 clubs were responsible for creating the "modern" scene?.Not just the Mecca.?

hey up,you talkin bout Christine Adams on Cyclone - "Loneliness is always around"?.TUNE!. Good luck with the MLong,couldn't sell mine...........but its still open to offers .

crikey you not going to Burnley are ya? .

Do you mean like the way you spoke about Mark Bicknell?.Its no different. Your analogy is out of order (imho).

,i'm sure you were on around that time.Mecca to Wigan to see you!!. Left CC to do the last hours,on at Wigan mid way thru the nite. Cleared the floor with some Mecca fodder.....shame on them.

what about "I can't erase the thoughts of you" - -Barbara Pennington.

question1: my memory's not what it was,but which records cleared the floor at Wigan when you were on(75/76?)? Mel Britt,Voices of east Harlem,Ronnie McNeir?. All superb records,but how did you feel?. question2: did you play football on the beach in the morning after the Mecca?

nice to see my contributions to the Highland room funds didn't got totally to waste. You forgot to put IMHO , after "some disco was Northern" quote.

right here goes.Ian,i found your attack on certain members on here despicable,in particular one who is a complicated and sensitive soul,but you probably knew that at the time of posting. btw ,thanks for conning people into thinking disco was Northern at the latter stages of the Mecca,( the masterplan had already started),some actually believed in you and respected your opinions. KEV,,(from the shallow end of the soul gene pool.)

14 mins and counting.

or the underplayed sounds of Chicory Tip - see avatar . Reg,Slade and T.Rex are sooooo top 500 .

bloody hell Beeks,2 minutes and your'e in!! . Me?,30 odd years behind the bell,and not so much as a "by your leave" .

can i play Soiuxsie of the Banshees fame,well known Northern fan?.I've already got the wig,make-up,,,,,,,,,mini skirt,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,suspenders,,,,,,,,. I know she came once..............to Wig*n .(Dirty minds...)

ffs .The clocks started ticking. Maybe Mark comes across "holier than thou" to you,but sometimes its best to say nothing and keep opinions to yourself.S'pose eveyone is in the firing line now. Went to the MECCA in its heyday,you've discovered some of the most important sounds,,,,,but,,,,your charisma needs tweaking Ian.(imho) If this thread were a horse it would be shot.

can't believe no-one's snapped up Terri Bryant.Is the Joe and George a demo?

great stuff,love Weller in all his guises.............but just had a thought (off topic). Was this one of the first tailor mades,of any credibility?.(forget Wigan's Ovation). Did Weller get away with it cos he's a geezer and loves his Northern?. Or did he suffer the wrath of the scene at the time , like new kids Amy and Duffo?

no,she had a Fluffy Falana,,,,sure its been posted on here before .

on the Vindaloo label..........

Cut your motor offf---

ONLY ONE REAL ENDER IMHO - OH LORD,WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME -BIG MAYBELLE. Daren't play it at the end of the nite tho',,i'd cry like a baby .
