My brother and best pal has lost his faith, after 30 years soulin, Torch, Wigan, all the way through the 8ts, but now he wont listen to the tunes or come my soul night and all he wants to do is go bird spotting, the feathered kind!

What should I do?

Accept it, and if he's happy, be glad for it.

:shades:

Lots of people move away from the music & the scene for a bit for whatever reason. He'll come running back! :lol:

Strap him down, clamp a set of headphones to his skull and force feed him Mariah Carey/ Neil Diamond for 24 hours (just to drive home what a soulless future he has). I also find some light waterboarding to the strains of prog rock (any, all sounds the same) helps. Good luckthumbsup.gif

kill all birds and sort soulful and non-feathered one for him.

I got myself into trouble last year suggesting an option for a bloke who had lost his mojo on the soul scene a bit whistling.gif I always forget that it's not just us four or five people posting on the thread that are going to read it!

So, no, I've got no idea how to get your brother back interested in the scene, and I'm not a good person to ask. In fact, you never saw me here ph34r.gif

I don't agree with that. no.gif If that was the case, where are all those people who were into n.s. 30 odd years ago, they don't all still go to soul venues. They've moved onto other things, there's more to life than northern soul ohmy.gif

I would take him to one of those noisy, over crowded, trouble makers out for a fight kind of club or pub, then he might think, "come back soul nights all is forgiven!" :boxing:

Thats what happened to me when i was dragged, kicking & screaming into one of those places! :lol:

My partner Ian would be quite happy to go elsewhere, but its just not for me, oh no! :no::no::no:

If i listened to anything else, i would loose my marbles! :lol::(:yes:

I have been on the scene for about 20 years & yes there is more to life than Northern Soul, but i have never found any music or club nights that i prefer, so i stick to what i enjoy! :lol:

In fact, i got a divorce because he came between me & my Northern Soul! :lol::lol:
