Roosevelt Grier was in 'The man with 2 heads' if memory serves right - one of the worst mvies of all time. Darlene Love has been in all the Lethal Weapon movies

Interesting debate this one - in short some 'Big Names' will attract a few more through the door (Ginger always gets them in to the Plinston for example) but the right combination of DJ's will attract bigger numbers. I've had some on that have killed the place and others that have stood in at the last minute and really got the place rocking! It's a minefield and a delicate balancing act to get the art of promotion right. That said I don't think Name DJ's are as essential as in the 70's/80's as people now, as Winnie stated, tend to go where their mates are going on the whole. Also, with the wealth of CD's etc available, travelling 100's of miles to hear exclusive tracks you cant hear anywhere else doesn't really happen that much these days (unless your travelling to see Butch or Soul Sam) For me people like Hammie, Molly, Taffy, Lenny D, Fingers play blinding sets and yet are not considered, on the whole, to be Names. Hence the reason why I will be featuring more of them at the Plinston nextv year. At the end of the day, as I always drone on about, it's the MUSIC that is paramount, everything else is window dressing

You know, you've got to hand it to Kev and the boys at Goldsoul because when it comes to maximising your profits and full potential from your stock, they are, without doubt, on the ball. The man's not even had a chance to let his win sink in and already ....... https://www.goldsoul.co.uk/shop/dvd/nsdvd.html

Been played in this here parts since the late 70's - dirty, sleazy and oozing sex appeal....but enough of Taff and me, the records great!

OOOOH! Forgot Ray Oddis 'Happy Ghoul Time' and 'Randy the Newpaper Boy'

For my sins I like 'Wrong Side Of Town' despite Mr Levine's finger prints all over it. It's just a pity we had all the very dubious and silly games played over it by certain people who should know better!!! That said, ceratin people should also be gratful Mrs Osbournes not a northern Soul fan - can you imagine what she'd have done with them and their....you get the picture

Lonnie Hill - Top Toon and one I got some 5 years ago from Mr Soul Bowl after hunting for a lifetime!!! What about the wonderful names Artie Fullilove & the Lovejoys - Santa Claus Please Listen To Me. Great lyrics and one I used to spin at many a local soul nite Xmas Do. Or The Invitations and 'Skinhead In The Snow' (as a very strange and rather drunk man once asked me for )

As you know Winnie, you and I are as one on this and we can often be found at the back of the Plinston dealing out swift justice to those that partake of the powdering of floors, only to then walk off and leave us to tip-toe through dance moves!!!! Some floors do need talc to shuffle on etc but in the main (halls) most do not so please stop doing it!

Sod you Janine, you get in everywhere!!! Any of the Plinston?

Johnny, see the diet is working wonders for you!!!!

I find that it doesn't matter what record I end with, it always get a huge amount of clapping going, and cheering as well, strangely just as I am finishing and walking off the stage?!? Hang on a minute....

I have the full vocal on my laptop that I recorded before I sold it on Mike. Can mail it to anyone who wants to have it on theirs

Check your mail

Isn't this one of Sean Chapman's Ex's??????

:Fck_off_by_nulltarget: Or Winnie we may end up doing this to one another if we weren't sooooooo good at our co-ordinated twin twat look!

The art of the handclap is sadly declining and there are only a few of us left that carry it on. Sadly Panch from Bedford loves to clap out of time, as Winston will testify, to put everyone off so a slap around the head if he does it when you are in the venue! I encourage clapping at every venue I attend, and at the Plinston it's a joy to behold a full house clapping like thunder to records. By the way Kolla if you cant get the beat right in Tobi Legends anthem then there is no hope for you babe

Have seen the book and having flicked through it quickly have made 2 observations: 1) Pricing seems OK 2) It is not the most complete listing of Rare Soul as there are some notable 45's left out. That is all

It is a French EP only and also thought to be Millie at one stage but I think no-one really knows.

Hang on! That's Fingers from the Plinston isn't it???? (Damm! Where's he pic of J.Caswell?!?)
