Yes the Mecca in the 70,s great times. I could not go to the 98 reunion, in was i Preston Royal at the time recovering from a Brian Tumur Op.

ANYONE ELSE DOING THE ORWELL ON SUNDAY?

I know about the job, losing the Mecca etc, i still don,t think you went every week. I used to see you at Welcome inn, Sale Mecca, Socelys Blackpool (spelling ?) Darwin Tiffs during the week around that time. I had stopped going to Wigan Sept 75, didn,t go back till 78. P.S. I still love B. Pennington, E. Thomas and L. J. Johnson

Yes Ian Javells(Nosmo King) was a big record in 74, but you there every week, i think not. After you did your D J set about Nov 73 at the Casino(Ten miles high etc played 1st time at Wigan). You very seldom was there, Les Cokell still went alot. Your adds in Blues & Soul for the Mecca showed what you thought of Wigan. I,m not a Wigan fan trying to put you down, cause i,ve said on here lots of time the Mecca was light years ahead of the Casino. By the way i still see Colin at least once a mouth. Dave.

Well the wife agrees with you, to me it was ok for a kid singing

I have seen a few over the years, but it was great seeing Bernie Golding at Guy,s 50th last year, it was the 1st time i had seen him for about 25 years.

Hi Andy, good to see you out on Sat. Some great records on your list, but i don,t think Danny Reed has stood the test of time, also played Lilly Fields "Love has so many meanings" is another that time hasn,t been kind with. What about Eddie Horan "The ups and downs of a love affair" or Marc Coppice "Who can i turn to"

Hi Jane, the Barn in Accrington has been running Northern do,s for years without a licenced bar, even had Modern do,s this year Dave. x

Mine,s just a boring SOUL done in indian ink at school on left arm in 1969, now fading with time.

Yes both played at the Mecca in 75

Got it Diane Ducane "Better Late Than Never"

Ive been loving you too long is "Can,t Chance a Break-up" Ike&Tina Turner I hope that helps. Pete,s already posted salt and pepper. Its been buging me trying to think what "never" is, really gettin to me!

Alot of us that did the Jazz Funk still around both Northern and Modern scene. Plus the Jazz Funk room at Blackburn is always busy, and there,s a Jazz Funk room at the Hilton weekenders.

I was lucky to find two Parlophone demos in a record exchange in the early 70,s. But i was going to the football at the time, so i had them up my jumper the entire match.

Chester Pipkin is really the SWEET on Smash.

The LATE GREAT LINDA JONES

I,m so glad i didn,t click on to listen what it was now

Hi Beeks, alot of this is true, but even a good record you can grow to hate when you have it over and over again week after week year after year Dave

Funny how taste change, I remember Ginger getting Ty Karim back in the 70,s his quote "what the f**k is this its the wrong record" Towanda and T. D. played the other side in the 70,s Joi Cardwell one of my fav,s from the 00,s.

Hi Andy, i don,t know about beat up but he hit her at Prestatyn! How bad it was it depends who told you about it the morning after Dave

I don,t think F W is a bad record not like G Lewis, Joe 90, Footie etc. But it,s been hammered to death now for 31years, and i,m f**kin sick of hearing it. Granted its not normaly played on the Niter scene but always at a local soul night.
