The TK Maxx in Cheadle, South Manchester is always playing a lot of quality soul including Northern. Not sure if individual managers get to select the tapes to play in the branch

the loakes Brighton loafer is a cool shoe which I like to wear for a more 60 s club /mod night dancing. For a northern night on the floor it has to be lace up oxford style shoes, Have a pair of Trickers for 5 / 6 years now. Lightweight and leather soled, they really glide one the floor. Like Cheaneys they not cheap but a quality shoe . The problem with Bass Weejuns as a dancing shoe is that they stretch with wear and after a while you risk one flying of your foot and across the room. I speak from experience . But a nice shoe. But at the end of the day seen some really good dancers in trainers and all sorts of footwear

Interesting. Lots always written about the black american servicemen attending the Flamingo, but this is the first time I have come across a family link such as yours. Great.

Placemate was never a gay club.

I have seen somewhere that he appeared at the Flamingo at that time.. Lou Johnson did the Flamingo November 64 as well. Sam Cooke toured the Uk in October 62 with Little Richard, after tour of th US bases in Europe. Got me to thinking if other acts added a London gig / promotion once they were this side of the pond courtesy of the US Army. .

if you dont dance the same to one record as another, sounds like you doing it right.

Think you would win the bet. He was a regular audience member on Ready Steady Go, suppled tickets by producer Vicki Wickham, apparently herself a member of the Tamla Motown Appreciation Society. I think that Inez and Charlie Foxx may be amongst the first regular visitors to the UK, a transtion from the R & B artists to the soul sounds of the mod and soul clubs. They are recorded as touring with the Rolling Stones in 64, but I am sure I saw them at the Odeon Manchester October 1963, on a bill that headlined Bo Diddley and Little Richard and The Rolling Stones amongst the support acts Or is my memory playing tricks again

Nice clip, Towards the end of the clip is that Dave Godin visible through the open stairs:?

The Black Power fist is differentiated by a clenched fist wearing a black leather glove , adopted in the sixties as part of the Black Power movement,, most famously at the 1968 Mexico Olympics by 200 m gold medalist Tommie Smith and Bronze medalist John Carlos, when they donned black gloves and raised the the Black Power fist on the podium, after being handed the medals.. Picked up by some northern soulies on the dance floor and has become a much used graphic on the scene since., on bags t shirts etc. I can understand why a lot find it a bit embarrasing , like ktf ,but I admire the way it suggests that a lot of U K Soul fans,have some awareness of the civil rights struggles that were the background against which a lot of the music was created
