hi, i'm a new joinee to this site and would really appreciate some help identifying a track. it's an instrumental all guitar and sax so no lyrics (helpfully) but its a real stomper it is actually on youtube on a clip named 'morecambe dance competition from the 80's' (very short clip) i had it on a compilation tape that got hoovered up while vacuuming the car.along with agent double 'o' soul, show me the backstreets, litttle bit hurts etc (and it still does!) any help, hints or advice gratefully received.

thank you so much. only recently joined and have spent a few hours going through this site its stunning how much info is available and how well put together and am only part way in! currently working on a list for my first cd to order and can put champion straight in there.. this same track featured on a north west programme in the eighties on scooter rallies mostly on fylde area, the feature actually started with the who 'won't get fooled again' if anyone can recall this item or knows if its available ie on youtube, also much appreciated, great memories of that time. many thanks, again.

I have seen the dude from tokyo, he is good but not as good as our home grown boys IMHO

nice one dawn. you're right again, the home grown dancin is outstanding (well mostly...my neighbours might not agree). am on a permanent 'head nod' thanks to you and doug tho ;D. had a couple of scooters and went to a few rallies and allnighters early to mid 80's but never knew many actual track/artist names just had copies of mates tapes, odd vinyl etc probably familiar story to the real scene like yourselves so am made up to have found this site and to get your replies and advice. cheers
