I first went early 72 with Fred Morton and Topper after that we went to nearly every niter there We used to hire a van and Big Clemmy from Leigh use to drive it smashed out of his yed we had some brill times goin down to Tunstall sometimes has many as 12 in the back of the van and 3 in front everyone buzzin in the back playin the tunes of the day on the Discotron . The last nite there was the Alldayer after the niter licence had been revoked around 8-30pm we all jumped into the van made are way back to our mates wedding reception at Higher Folds Labour Club in Leigh all smashed out of our brains then around 11-30 we went off to Farnworth to the Niter at Troggs nearly everyone had got the same idea because Troggs was rammed to the rafters and the doors locked loads in the street outside playin cassettes ---Discotrons ect it was nearly as good has being inside Great Times i feel priviledged to have lived through those early days of the Northern Scene and to have met so many wonderful people and become friends with so many and to have seen and talked to many of the Artist like Jackie Wilson in Warrington Carlton Club, Jnr Walker Major Lance who i become friends with during 73..... and many many more like Tommy Hunt Edwin Starr ect ect who today have become true legends in very sense in the World of Soul Music. Thats one of the things that makes being part of the Family on the Northern Scene great THE ARTIST the guys and Girls who made it all possible with their wonderful music people like Billy Prince ..Jerry Williams..Pat Lewis..Doni Burdick.. Syl Johnson Sam Hutchins the list go on and on they really appreciate the love and kindness given to them and there familys whenever they come over to the UK.... Great Stuff Hey WHAT A SCENE !!! LOVE, PEACE & HAPPINESS Ian Cunliffe so do you wanna a ticket or what. LOL?

Can't account for her her kissing technique tho!!! Anyway I will definitly be up for a reunion & October would be great for me as I have to fly over from Oz & my arms get ever so tired I'll email Paul which one is Di?

57 ticket reservations and we aint got a venue or date yet

HAPPY DAYS...2nd photo yep does it for me that was until I saw the photo of the stairs its me birthday today had a few and got a lump in my throat, Called the Mrs over who detests the current rare soul scene but trod the boards early 70's, "Recognise these stairs pet" "That's the stairs to the Highland Room" after 35 years she remembered a few flights of stairs, bizarre but forgot my fekkin birthday

do you remember the date of your 1st ever Torch all-nighter? how about your 2nd? Only went twice. Sat 13th Jan 1973... my footy team played Derby Co in the FA cup, 5pm we were shouting "stay, stay run, run, stay" at 6.30 we'd had some gear and we were Tunstall bound via the Bell and Oak Sat 10th Feb 1973---my birthday...17 years young....happy days.

just received our first post for FOUR days, all bills. I am awaiting several payments for records reserved last week which are packed and ready to go. Once payments have been received the records will be despatched. Thanks

Me and Malc are having a pow wow next Sat at the Morley Club Bardford at the moment leaving all our options open, however really appreciate that there are people out there who want a reunion for ALL the right reasons. In the meantime lets start the ball rolling all those that wish to attend a Torch Reunion in October as near as we can to Hose St please email me (NO PM;S) with a rough idea of how many tickets they would need so we may start buidling up a contact list so we can keep you informed as the reunion night develops I can't empasise how helpful this information will be.
