I know exactly who you’re talking about and exactly who I’m talking about and its the same Alan Day. Will PM you.
The old Torch Dj Alan Day is the one im talking about you must know a different one.
Alan Day (RIP) ?????????
He’s still alive
NICE ONE
I thought the godfather of Northern soul was Dave Godin(rip) He was the one that gave the title “Northern soul” And its Credit should be taken back to the start of the “Wheel Days” Where the Real Movement started,
Apart from pioneering Djs like Tony jebb, Alan Day(RIP) Les cockell (RIP) and the many djs that we should realy pay tribute too, Not some daydreamer from wigan whos up there on his own pedastal. hes a legend in his own Lunchtime.
YOU know your stuff too my friend.
LOL have gotta add, lol I’m creasing up laughing here cos your last comment PROVES that you were around like me then lol ‘cos lol no, none of guys could stand him lol, lol, he was about as popular as another we could mention lol and hey in retrospect those oldies long gone now weren’t wrong lol, they must be turning in their graves hearing his claims of sheer fantasy that are now being swallowed by newer soul fans worldwide. Surely Wigan was big enuff so no reason to claim total untruths?
Great posting I totally agree ‘cos it reveals onset of Alzheimer’s is obviously affecting some brains. Frank Wilson’s track and other’s mentioned were ALL played b4 Casino, and NO WAY IS HE GODFATHER OF ANYTHING BUT CLEARLY A BAD MEMORY & ONE SUSPECTS BLATANT LIES. MAKES ME LAUGH PPL LIKE HIM USE ‘KTF’ ZZZ. There’s lots of false info out there about Frank’s track & I for one know that there are more copies out there than people realise HAHAHA GREAT to cross YOUR path, YOU KNOW YOUR stuff!
Totally agree, Neither is he the godfather of northern soul nor did he put northern on the map, He may have put wigan on the map but his other claims are Ludicrous, I heard Dean Parish, and Long after tonight is all over at the Torch long before wigan – I never Liked him then, and still dont like him now.
Good Clip though !
paul it is good that you are into northern and that you had it on your show but why did you dress like that with those silly shoes u should have worn northern gear and you would have been able to move although I do understand that you wanted to make all the old dears in the audience laugh!! By the way Liam is excellent dancer KTF xx
”Do I love you” wasn’t discovered at WIGAN … NEITHER WAS LONG AFTER TONIGHT IS ALL OVER ZZZZZZ OR ANOTHER U MENTIONED … INFACT CAN U SAY IN TRUTH ANY OF THE REAL TOP SOUL SOUNDS WERE DISCOVERED AT WIGAN? Asking that as a genuine question, as I’m fed up with bad memories some seem to have. I used to keep little books with all sorts in them related to venues and friends including music tracks so I KNOW what I’m saying is true .. Russ your memory needs shakin up mate!
These records stand outside of time. In 100 years they’ll still make record players “for connosseurs only”, and records like “Together” by Bobby Star and “Burning Sensation” by Robbie Lawson will be worth more than a Van Gogh.
i put this on 2 mate lol ktf
