Hope you are well, went to see Ian Gee at the the Rightrack Anniversay , great night could have only been better if you had been on, just thinking about my debut on stage with the fake Major Lance at Bourne, when Coxy found out he kept it quite cus the following week he put him on at Kettering. I agree with you about Bourne it had a nice dance floor and used to churn out a great atmosphere.
what a fantasic montage of memories. brought back so many wonderful memories of my own life, cleethorpes, notts palais, mecca to name but a few. thank god for youtube and people like yourself. thankyou for this brilliant post, deb

Thanks for your prompt answer. I keep listening to this YouTube over and over. I'll bet I have a song you will know: Mind over Matter by Nolan Strong on Fortune Records out of Detroit. Sixties I think. . .
Really loved this...it brought a lump to my throat. Can't believe you sold your records...that's heartbreaking...but like you said it never really leaves you. KTF :-) x
In a way Bourne was an oasis for me. Back in late '72 (I think). Major Lance at the Corn Exchange. Hitched it there thinking there would hardly be anyone there. Nearly fell over when I realised there were dozens and dozens of folks just like me and all living within a 20 mile radius. Got to know many like minded souls from Stamford, Bourne, Spalding, Melton. Remember Poke playing top choons at the time. I was no longer a lonely South Lincs soulie. Great days with loads of new friends.
hi dreamster, a bit of breaking news mate, the major lance @ bourne and corn exchange was an imposter, the man himself was in jail at the time, but it was still a great night, even stf malajney singing with 'major' on stage couldn't spoil it!!!! ;-)
He must have appeared at the Corn Exchange more than once then. It was definitely THE Major. When I saw him it was around the time he did the Torch album which was December '72 so I'm thinking mid '73. I'm positive it was before Wigan opened in Sept 1973. I believe Major returned to the US in '74 and he was jailed in '78
glad you enjoyed right track my friend, best venue in the 'boro since city club closed, keep safe stef and hope to see you again soon ;-)
