for those who dont know the edward hamilton,bobby womack and the experts are all great double siders...6 dancers for the price of three,never sure which side i like best on all of 'em dean

and i know the casino wasnt a place to go and pull...but there must have been some 'romance' there because according to shameless monday night franks firstborn was conceived 'in the toilets at the wigan casino alnighter '

already put my opinion on the film up many pages back (thought it was alrite)but would like to add....we have many youngsters (20s+)who are curious about northern at go go children and they ARE impressed with the dancers and thats just the basic footwork ! even if we could do the tricks there wouldnt be room anyway...they come up and ask about tracks are buying cds (and maybe one day original vinyl) and im sure this film will help rather than hinder...i mean less face it some of you (when you were young and less critical) were turned on to northern by wigans ovation on totps !!..even if you dont admit i never expected it to be exactly like the casino...i was too young to go so i dont know from personsal experience...but still wasnt surprised at casino goers replies...but at least the film didnt include some of the pop shite that got played there at times !...and danced to aswell!!...better run for cover now... dean ps please note i said 'at times.'..i know there was some great music discovered and played there and i would have loved it...

sadly we were made to finish early this month at 145 as our manager was away and the stand in was worried about only having a 1 oclock license so my second set was cut short...literally about 30 secs before the end of the tune !...anyway left them wanting more i suppose...still a top nite had by all i think U.S ORIGINALS UNLESS STATED 11 TILL 1130 LINDA LOU-LEROY WILLIAMS HONKY TONK WOMEN-FABULOUS PLAYBOYS ASK ME NO QUESTIONS-EDDIE ARNELL THINGS GOTTA GET BETTER-MARVA WHITNEY TURN ME LOOSE-LEON AUSTIN I'LL HOLD YOU-FRANKIE AND JOHNNY ONE MORE CHANCE-SHIRLEY LAWSON (UK SOUL CITY) WHAT CONDITION MY CONDITION WAS IN-BETTY LAVETTE MY MECHANICAL MAN-LEAH DAWSON FIRE-KOKO TAYLOR LEND ME YOUR HAND-KINDLY SHEPHERDS GOTTA BE A FALSE ALARM-VOLCANOS 130 ISH TILL 145 ISH QUEEN-BIG ELLA DO YOU STILL LOVE ME-COOKIE JACKSON LOVER-SHERRI TAYLOR AND SAM WARD CHAPERONE-LA BRENDA BEN SOMETHING FUNNY GOING ON-BERTHA TILLMAN (REQUESTED) BREAKAWAY-STEVE KARMEN JUST ANOTHER GIRL-FOUR PROS (REQUESTED) dean

'baby i love you' gets some spins from me at go go children in bristol and think nige brown played it last year at bridgewater too... what about 'night owl'..thought that was his most well known track on the uk soul scene.....sean parrys always got that in his playbox at go go ....on a british demo i think dean

think i can beat all of these..in fact dont think you will know it cos i MUST be the only one to buy it..blind i hasten to add !!...instrumental version of 'ive got something good' think it was the soul explosions on soul galore....if all your old 'poppy' floorfillers are crap this must be the crap growing on the crap !...didnt even make it to the end of the tune on my turntable at home..... dean

oh and after 5 hours in the snow (should have been 2) TOTS xmas special was a killer despite only 2 djs and 50 odd people being able to make it...a real party ! dean

its been a good year... normally only do a couple of niters...did 8 this year finally got to bidds and lifeline...top nites will be back...hearing angela davis for the first time on the dancefloor at lifeline will be with me forever... go go children has found a new and better venue and gone from an average of 70 + to 90+ and hit 100+ 3 times...more and more regulars...weve started having guests ,so far sean chapman (back with us this saturday by the way) ,des parker,pete tebbutt,matt from trowbridge and bristols eddie trueman ...all have been wicked... roll on 2011'things have gotta get better' still dean

a few i picked up at bidds on NYE... LET ME HELP YOU -AL GREEN ...nothing like you would expect from al,uptempo northern '72 but sounds more 60s RAMBING ROSE-TED TAYLOR...typical uptempo rnb from ted I KNOW-BARBARA GEORGE classic WHEN I LOOK AT YOU DADDY-CAROL FRAN early rnb,great guitar riff still to come in the post.. MY MECHANICAL MAN-LEAH DAWSON classic

talikin bout my girl/vic and the catalinas stuck on my baby/irene and the scotts things gotta get better/marva whitney i dont want to cry/pearlean gray honky tonk woman/fabulous playboys and still to come... breakway/steve karmen..to replace my reissue ...at last take your time and love me/grover mitchell and that will be it for a couple of months..... honest ! dean

the koko taylor is awesome and for a 20 quid record bargain!

love the lonnie lester and june bateman but gotta stop buying now for a bit !....lambretta engine needs some tlc...and dollars ! still got some tunes on the way to keep my addiction fed and the last 5 cheapies were.... nose full of white/mr d and the highlights ask me no questions/eddie armen call on you/chuck trois and the amazing maze linda lou/larry williams the phantom/herb and his cronies all uptempo funky northern of northern ish funk dean

updated...still some quality tunes and bargains to be had dean

exactly !....there have been legendary clubs,bands,styles of music and we have all got our own memories of being there at the right time i would hope !... i was way too young for wigan..i knew about soul as my older bruv was probably on the coach with billy going to yate,st ives etc.....but for me i came along in the mid 80s via the scooter scene and i know people who have got into that in the last 10 years and look back and listen to my stories of 5-10 000 scooterists rallying every 3 weeks and them wishing they were there,thinkin they missed out... so no ...soul did not die with wigan ...even if they played a few pop tunes that wouldnt get spun today...same as custom scooters didnt finish with jeremy howlett (80s scooterists amoung you will know that name!!)...there have been lots of soulful wax and venues since and will be more to come...life goes on...enjoy it now....no doubt there will be a day when people look back and think they missed out cos they werent at the 100 club,kings hall , bidds or go go children ...i reckon anyway dean

very sad news ....and to be honest i wouldnt even wanna spend money replacing cheapies at the moment !....not enuff spare cash and always sumfin "new" to buy ! heard a couple of stories about oppertunist thieves dumping old vinyl not far from the scene of the crime....although with you so far away and it being london with so many record/second hand shops probably willing to take them ,not really helpful to ya...hope you here some good news soon dean

was reading this couple of days back while wondering where my frankie and johnny hickory issue was,hoping it was delayed in the snow or cos of xmas but in the back of my mind thinkin it may be in some customs yard somewhere... yesturday contacted the seller and got a parcel number went on the royal mail website and found it was infact 'held' by express 48....and bloody typical when i got home there was a letter waiting for me telling me evrything id just taken over an hour to find out......so ive just been up to collect it and part with another 20 quid...luckily it was near mint,still in company sleeve and had paid 90 under book so even with the post and extra was still a good bit cheaper than what it would have cost me in the uk... ...and i was thinkin it was lost at one point as last winter in the backlog i lost one...not sure if the seller ever got it back but was only a cheapie so he didnt mind paying me back.....dont think i would have got my money back this time if it had been lost so all in all 20 quid aint too bad i suppose dean
