  1. Info on upcoming Plinston event, tsnumia collection and a number request Just a quick heads-up to say that we will be organising a collection at the next plinston event to raise funds for the tsnumia appeal so please dig deep and put into the bucket that the Sinister Sisters will be going around the rooms with - every penny is needed and we as a club will also be contributing. Wanted to give advance warning on this. On a different matter I need the number for Gary belcher as Ive updated my filofax and missed him off!!!!! Please email me at nh6tsmafia@aol.com. If anyone is reading this that know Gary can they let him know that the March date is Sat 19th now and not what we had agreed before. We still want him to guest but need a confirmation ASAP. Ta very much. TheBigO

  3. Latest Plinston event info :-o Life never ever runs as you want!!! Just a quick post to say that the Mojo Room will be taking a break so there is no Mojo Room on the 14th January event. All the other rooms will be open. Sorry for any disappointment caused but the lads wanted to have a re-think. Cheers.

    Tell Roger the Letchworth Boys send their best and we hope to see him and his brown 3 button Gabbicci style top at a venue near us soon Get well soon!!!
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. Latest news on the ticket front at Plinston :-D The joys of promoting! The Box Office at the Plinston (01462-672003)is now taking credit card bookings for the Jan 14th event after having to shut down. You can also reserve tickets on the door by dropping us a line, addressed to The Lovely Jane, to: janeoppegaard@aol.com or nh6tsmafia@aol.com. Many thanks TheBigO

    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
  12. 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!

    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 )
  17. 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!

    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....
