Did You Dance At Your First All-Nighter?
yes at Bletsoe in late 1972 then we went to the big one in Tunstall early 73, thinking we'd be the dogs scrotum sacks inthe event I was fookin petrified, held on to the railings most of the night, I thought the place was going to fall down, This dance hall in Tunstall ST6 4AL A place where lasting friendships were born A place where talking bollocks was the norm Where Wrigley wrappers filled the floor Where the local gangsters stood by the door This dance hall in Tunstall ST6 4AL This dance hall in Tunstall ST6 4AL Where Brut and sweat mixed to filled the air. Where the girls would dress in the fine Mohair Where blokes you don't know would say "alright our kid" Where the same blokes would say "you ok? 10 a quid" This dance hall in Tunstall ST6 4AL This dance hall in Tunstall ST6 4AL Where your hair would stand on end Where the bloke next door to you became your best friend Where Tony Jebb would annoy Alan Day Where Alan Day would blow Jebby away This dance hall in Tunstall ST6 4AL This dance hall in Tunstall ST6 4AL Where Booper and co would perfect their moves Where the others would try and copy all the grooves Where the blokes upstairs would be trading toons Where those arriving would be joining the loons This dance hall in Tunstall ST6 4AL This dance hall in Tunstall ST6 4AL Is now a car park for those that still live there Most are oblivious but some were aware That Oct 24th was the Torch Revival Night "Baby, everything is alright, uptight outa sight" This dance hall in Tunstall ST6 4AL

Who Were The Trammps
Philadelphia soul quintet the Volcanos formed in 1964, originally teaming lead vocalist Gene Jones, vocalist Steve Kelly, guitarist Stanley Wade, his bassist brother Harold "Doc" Wade, keyboardist John Hart, and drummer Earl Young. According to e-zine Funky 16 Corners, within months of their formation the group signed to the local Arctic label, and as the year drew to a close issued their debut single, "Baby," the lone ballad in the Volcanos canon. (The flipside, "Make Your Move," would appear on no less than three of their nine total singles). In mid-1965 the Volcanos returned with their biggest hit, "Storm Warning" -- a showcase for Jones' soaring falsetto, the single reached Number 33 on the national R&B charts and remains a Northern soul favorite to this day. Future Philly soul legends Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff composed the follow-up, the upbeat stomper "Help Wanted," and the Volcanos closed out the year with the Motown-inspired "(It's Against) The Laws of Love," another classic given new life on the Northern Soul circuit. They did not release their next Arctic effort, "A Lady's Man," until the following summer; the single failed to return the group to the charts, and after one last entry for the label, the Eddie Holman-penned "You're Number 1," Arctic terminated their contract. The Volcanos then landed with the Harthon imprint for two superb 1967 singles: "It's Gotta Be a False Alarm" and "Take Me Back Again." Jones left the group sometime in 1968, rechristening himself Gene Faith and beginning a solo career on the Virtue label. In 1970, he resurrected the Volcanos moniker for one last single, "No Trespassing" -- by that time, the original lineup had long since dissolved, with the brothers, Harold and Stanley Wade going on to found the Trammps, the band best-known for its classic "Disco Inferno." ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide

Florida Any Record Shops?
The first time I went to the States with the family 17 years ago to St Petes beach I was told the nearest place was Bananas...I was also told the place had been turned over many times by brits. I just wanted to visit a 7" shop and have a rootle, had made me mind up that if I came out with one record I could say to myself "been to the states and had a pop at it" Cut a long story short I spent a total of 7 hrs with them, found loads of cheap bits very cheap and two raraties both of which he wanted John Manship book prices so I said 'no thank' found a instrumental that I've never seen listed and found the whole experience fantastic. The next day I returned to continue my serach when the owner says, do you wanna go in the basement and have a look through some unopend boxes etc" "YES PLEASE" 5 hrs later and fingers torn to shreads I appeared with one record of any note LOL Go there with an open mind and IF you do find anything ultra rare, stick it down you trousers and leg it. PS invest in some of these, promise you it'll save you days of agony..
