Every bank holiday [easter,august] in the early eighties we used to go through to scarborough, meet up with bub and all his mates and just have a general p**s up for the weekend, there were soul do`s on in the back room of the salsbury & of course RUDIES AKA FOUR SEASONS, had some great weekends thru there, heres some of us who used to go from york RON PEDLEY,SWISH, TOMMY SHERIDAN,SALTY, JOHN JEFFRIES,DES, MARTIN THOMMO,had some great times in the pickwick anybody got any memories out there?

Been trying to remember about this nighter in manchester in the early eighties, anyone got any info?

Although i as yet havn`t been, totally agree with what you are saying here trev, suppose its down to the promotors to advertise correctly, and as they say do exactly what it says on the TIN, as i was discussing with tony these things don`t happen overnight and its a case of sticking to a formula through thick and thin, me and diane dj`d the other week played away from what you would call the "NORM" nothing super elusive infact many of the records in the set were underplayed oldies ie ones that have escaped the bootleggers and whilst we got rave reviews and comments from most of the more open minded of the crowd, a small section of the crowd actually heckled us between every record? The two lads who dj`d before us played out & out oldies inc boots and filled the floor no disrespect to them in anyway,DJ`S, COLLECTORS, DANCERS,LISTENERS.as pete smith says an atmosphere should be provided by dj`s for dancers who don`t really care what label it`s on anyway and i do suppose it`s about going out and enjoying yourselves anyway, to me if one dj`s set spoils your night whats the point in making the effort to go out, YOU CAN PLEASE SOME OF THE PEOPLE SOME OF THE TIME,BUT NOT ALL OF THE PEOPLE ALL OF THE TIME

FAVOURITE DJ -95 1-BRIAN RAE 2-SAM 3-RICHARD SEARLING FAVOURITE DJ 95 TO PRESENT 1-ANDY RIX 2-ROB THOMAS 3-BUTCH FAVOURITE ALL TIME DJ SEARLING FOR THAT PERIOD BETWEEN 78-80/ SAM FOR HIS CONTANT ENTHUSIASM & AFORSIGHT

Was gonna say ive never seen it on calla before,

Yeh thats me in the middle & tony colby on the right, taken in 81, had some laughs with pete HE WAS A TOP LAD

Thanks for the info guys, done some digging around myself,today and looked in jm`s bootlegg guide the story in there is Tim ashebende had an acetate of it, it was released on TNT a rock n roll label, don`t know wether the acetate was under the name of sherry gibbs or the fascinations though

Yeh understood it was a fake had it years, so no release then? thanks anway pete

TOO RIGHT KEN, JUST CHECK FOR THE MATRIX STAMPS IN THE DEADWAX, END OF STORY

Thats what i meant trev as a DJ good with the mike etc for the sounds searling was top for me back then

OOOOOH! NICE ONE

Know what you mean mate, best one ever was i once asked about john & the wierdest bootleggs on TIE RECORDS different widths of run out grooves only by millimeters and other stuff blew my head to bits

Lorraine chandler did another good flip,she don`t want you, allways get mixed up as too wich was the played side, I CAN`T CHANGE, OR I CAN`T HOLD ON

Think its on revue about £100 i think

Yeh only kidding matey, just trying to ease your mind a bit, these things do your head in when you can`t get a solution

By the way garnett mimms lp came out on two labels, with mispelt credits

As an ex YORKIE, this person was a great influence on me as a youngster-ALAN RHODES

Oh yeh this is what happens when you sleep in, the wife puts your copy of the sweet up for sale

Have pm`d john manship to ask if he can clear this up

PATTON mate

Agreed dave i was thinking along the same lines as you, maybe wrong though

According to jm`s book wich i`m reading patton has also been booted without the AIM stamp, havn`t got the bootlegg guide to hand but there is a big write up in there about maybe a quick pm to john manship may clear this up for you
