The other bits - that no one likes talking about Wigan drug squad tried endlessly to shut the Casino Breaking in to chemists to fuel the Casino was everywhere Selling of drugs around the country - and links from one chemist getting screwed to another - Barbiturates in mass from East Anglian sold to Scotland Thursday nights when you use to get youβre brown cash pay packet - easy muggings to feed the Soul habit Pills silver wraps - everywhere it was a free for all - Welsh drug suppliers feeding the Scene. I remember seeing on the balcony at the Casino a Welsh supplier with the roll neck jumper on I said - bet ur hot - he lifted up his jumper to show a rounders bat , snapped in two - as he had discussions with some Bolton lads. How many people took gear - A coach typically would seat 52 people - it was not uncommon that 53 people took gear - yes the coach driver as well π€£π but thatβs another story- Future retirement home π€£π

Mush is pronounced 'Moosh' and means mate or friend. You can expect to hear it around the city. It can be traced back to the old Romany word meaning 'my good friend'. or This is a local Southampton colloquialism although sometimes borrowed by other areas of the UK as well as claims emanating from the Romany language. Some historians relate the friendly term deriving from the Middle Ages when French ships docked at the port with the word 'Monsieur' abbreviated to 'Mush'.25 Oct 2022- Goodbye Brighouse Ritz

- MOTOWN collectors strange one ?? Reel to Reel ebay uk
Being bored with too much time on my hand I looked in the reel to reel section on e bay - there's a lot of Motown on there if you like collecting, just coz its Motown - however came across this - which looks like its been over taped - but as Motown collectors have way too much spare money - would be great to collet for Β£18 just for the box ?? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225687658956?hash=item348c0861cc:g:c-8AAOSwaQhkoFes&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA8AuatL%2FW9RhGDpBmUvLsd9%2FckpQZgHLY1FI87JwdhAB7YCvnoyjXvAjL%2BMCKrEt1Wkm7ykTt469aRLLzeGkE2Di5y3tc9TncrfAZBrivXYB5O0uTo%2F3qYaFqgtSjGNQhW%2BU0%2FCEJV9jrOeg%2BwansQ2LuO%2F%2FmLqTJtCkjz7q%2FyhNJxQEDFWl12ag3MdY0UPOWFRc2Go6CvFqCxtGbT9gz%2FBS2u2t3Swx074BwEHqvJkUkH0hW2srJ6zmj8GJMpp0Qp6iWOAn92ro6lfIngRVsf2lyBQXzYMEqE8FmvLsJ1GaqXBzvrKbLfMPVsbV782MGGQ%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR8S0psezYg- Bobby Moore (no, not that one) ...

Thanks Roburt for posting although I didnβt know his past history / name swap or even his music - I always find it interesting some of the huddles these singers back in the 60ts went through - very informative- Iβll now you tube his records - cheers- Northern Soul At The BBC Proms 2023
I hardly ever saw a singer who performed his songs in a way that was faithful to their original recording. Since 1975 - the two live acts who just blew me away in passion performance and sounding - close or better to the original recording was Jnr Walker at St Ives All-nighter 76/77. & Edwin Starr various venues - however I was seriously speeding my nuts off π€£π- TWO CLASSICS --- REDUCED

Stuart Maconnie Born in 1961 Casino shut in 81 - he was 20 π€ and never went in his home town ? guess that would answer why the 3 before 8 were round the wrong way π€£π- East Of England Soul Club
James was well know in the Huntingdon/ Oxmoor estate late 70ts - Kev Draper / Kipross / Johnny Fingers all knew James he use to find the odd gem in London searching junk shops back in the day - am sure him and his dad got caught up in cattle rustling - one thing for sure he never took speed π€π€- East Of England Soul Club
James use to live with his dad at Abbots Ripton nr Huntingdon - kind of a bit eccentric - saw him get through to the semi finals of the dancing competition at the Wirrina once which more like having a fit - yes in thouse days 77-78 you could take the piss without having a metal breakdown - people use to nick his recordβs especially at Wigan so he use to put sting through the middles - that was fine until someone cut the string - lost a lot of records at Huntingdon railway station for unpaid storage fee - Wigan Casinoβs 50.
