Brilliant news, thought our chance to see her was gone when it all fell through 2 years ago. Kev

No chance, it would be instant dismissal if any of us NE lads showed up on a monday morning, my knee is knackered, I fell out of the train and onto the platform at Darlington station its not big and its not clever I know, but thats what happens. As for the day itself, well I have run out of superlatives, just look at the playlist, and the place was rammed. The regular lads do an incredible job of keeping it fresh without compromising quality, Dave and Chris delivered fantastic sets, James Brown "Your love was good to me" typifies this place, great call Chris. The Real Ale is getting better aswell, so it was, as per normal, an all round brilliant day Best Kev

Andy Dyson and Nicola's work in progress about peoples record digging stories is a fantastic idea, just in conversations going to venues over the years I have heard some fantastic tales, so just imagine what the book will be like, and when you think about how many people have made trips and some people, multiple trips, then the scope is practically a bottomless pit, have contributed myself with my fellow collector Gaz Simon, and we had a ball whenever we went, so I can,t wait to hear other folks experiences, in effect, they are collating it, there are potentially hundreds of authors Kev

Good call Dave, Paul Mooney from up here in the NE, who I know has been pals (and businness associates I think) with Gary for years could also contribute massively through his managerial and studio experiences with many artists over the last 30 odd years, and is still operational in this nature of work today Kev

Bang on Jock, see what you are getting at, it needs a neutral perspective I think to get any story over, positive and negative contribution from a neutral source to achieve an authentic read. Andy and Nicola's is a much anticipated read, I for one can't wait for its release, am sure they won't release it until its exactly right Kev

Brilliant set Geoff Kev

I know Steve, just the last post asked for comments, to be fair, all that changed dramatically in a year or so after 1978, I think the "80,s, a low point" thread should have read 1978 instead Best Regards Kev

To be honest, a lot of it is awful Kev

9 = BLUENOTE Unfortunately no. Kev

Hi Martyn Got a tape off Paul Mooney in 1977, Milt Matthews was on it, General Johnson-"Don't walk away", Ramp-"Everybody loves the sunshine" and Sir Ted Ford "I wanna be near you" amongst others, went out and got them all apart from Ramp, which I still need Kev

Defo in the same bracket Jo, and a new one to me, fantastic post Kev

And great taste might I add, the same batch brought for a fiver each Trammps "Where do we go from here" and "I know this feeling" both on Golden Fleece and both great Kev

Payed it from the album for years, just bought the 45 ironically for, you,ve guessed it, a fiver Kev

Absolutely Paul, should be a million quid, play this, then play "Guess who I saw today" this girl effortlessly oozes soul, all time great Kev

Absolutely Martyn, massive fave in this house Kev

Hi Craig Paul Mooney played this to me over 30 years ago, impact it had never left me to this day, great post Kev

Chalky, I honestly think anybody who thinks the 80,s was a low point for the soul scene didn't go anywhere, or was one of the "pop your head round the door" nostalgic, addidas bag carrying romantic, who hung their 40 inches up, cried when the Catino shut and got into Simple Minds and U2 had a few kids, waited until they,d grown up, then heard that Lloyd from Coronation Street was doing a "NORTHERN SOUL " night and decided to come out again, don the "bags" and demand to hear the same shite they flew about to 30 odd years ago and then demand respect because "I used to go to Wigan you know". Open and shut case mate, 80,s and early 90,s AWESOME, Underground, hardcore soul fans, driven by the need and addiction to hear new sounds, remember like yesterday the first night Rob Marriot played Cleveland Wilson (aka OC Tolbert) at Mansfield "The Swan" "I'm shooting high" us lads from the NE practically shit ourselves, Butch playing Just Brothers, "Go on and laugh", this in the mid 80,s, Low point ? do me a f-----g favour Kev
