When the Manchester Shipper and Manchester Pioneer were chosen to star in Shelagh Delaney's novel "A Taste of Honey", it was not known that part of the plot involved a drunken seaman taking his girlfriend on board, and also involving a drunken first officer!When the premiere took place, the company had to take space in the programme to point out that Manchester Liners neither approved nor allowed such conduct.Goofs:
Factual errors: The scene where Jo says goodbye to Jimmy for the last time is shot at Barton Swing Bridge, on the Manchester Ship Canal.But there isn't a way for Jimmy to get off the bridge and onto the ship as the far end of the bridge hangs over the canal.Quite an achievement in those boots.Quotes:
Jo:
I'm not happy and I'm not glad.Thank you, your vote will be counted and appear on this page within 24 hours.Sorry, there was a problem collecting your vote.The material was there and taboo subjects were
tackled in a mainly intelligent way.The Salford locations were spot
on, bringing home the working class struggle experienced by so many.The lead character Jo, was difficult to like.She was clearly, deeply
affected by her mothers promiscuous behaviour and pushed away anybody
who showed her affection.This was a lovely performance by the actress,
who was totally believable.Dora Bryan played her role the lightest,
although she looked way older than 40, her song in the pub was a
delight.Jo's relationship with the sailor explored more and given more depth,
it was so crucial to the story.Overall, this was a thought provoking,
realistic film which was successful as no attempt was made to glamorise
the setting or situation.Terms and Privacy Policy under which this service is provided to you.I'll never forget when Janice did a Japanese fan dance while Hazel played her "koto" when they performed "Sukiyaki" on Soul Train), but weren't too beautiful that they couldn't get on down.Taste of Honey was born in 1970 when Janice Marie Johnson (then a member of the girl group the Quniques) auditioned for Princess Cruises.Over the next several years she'd play bass with a trio that included keyboardist Perry Kibble (whom she'd met at those auditions) and another female guitarist.From there they were signed to Capitol Records and performing gigs at the Norton Air Force Base in San Bernardino, California.It was written in response to those Air Force audience members who were too interested in looking at the girls play on stage than they were in dancing to their music.No one really bought into their second album Another Taste with it's lead off single "Do It Good," though both are equally nice."Rescue Me" from the same album was a good groove and also one of rap music's first major sample tunes.Their next and final album (that I know of), Ladies of the Eighties from '82, has one of my fave Taste of Honey tunes, "We've Got the Groove."Fire and Ronald LaPread of the Commodores.And despite being one of their best albums, it disappeared quicker than Dolemite at a Ku Klux Klan rally.Let's hope this isn't the case.Find A Taste of Honey Music:
