The Guest Book

My mother just sent me the link to the HSC web site. You have done a great job, well done...... I am sure I have some photographs from the 'good old days', The Junction, trips to Wigan Casino etc. I recall Eggo, Tom King, Connie and myself leaving The Bounty at 11pm on Saturday's for the Casino, and Sunday afternoon's crashed out in recovery!!! Unfortunately, I have lost contact with many of my old buddies from Hinckley as I now live in the USA. An idea for the site maybe a meeting page or similar so that people (those that want to) can contact old friends and reminisce. When I find my old album, I'll make some scans and email them to you. If the album is still with my parents in Hinckley, I'll arrange with you to get the pictures scanned there. Keep the Faith... Bob

Hi, I was wondering if you were going to put up anything about the Leicester All-nighters at the Odd-fellows club in the early 80´s? Probably the greatest all-nighter ever! I was on the Hinckley Soul scene in a big way myself from 81 through till the end of the 80´s. Good days...miss them a lot KTF. Jim.

I’m very impressed with your site, how on earth do you remember all that stuff? My names john and i live down the road in nuneaton, up until 18 months ago i worked in hinckley, until they close us down (ferry pickerings, wace, jarvis porter). I’m just getting back into the scene, always loved the music since the early 70’s. My earliest memories locally are… bond gate co-op social (tuesdays i think) weddington social (thursdays i think) (co-op & weddington not truly soul nights, but they played a fare bit) then later i remember nights, some just one offs. One chapel end social clubs the chase 77 club (chris king did that once) of course i came to hinckley, i remember going to at least three venues. The connie club the leisure centre bounty (back of) (i remember paul rudzitas being involved with this one). It’s been a pleasure to read your site.

The website is just great. I was sitting hear carrying out my DBA tasks when I thought it was high time for a spot of surfing. Well what can I say, it is brilliant. The photo's are just fantastic not only of the people but the venues etc .. The best way of cheering up a Monday in the office.
