Think Of The Promoter

Recommended Posts

He knows what he likes - Thats his point - 60s uptempo dancers - which is exactly what I love and always collect .

But I also love Funk -Boogaloo - Ska - Beat Ballads - Popcorn and Jazz

I like lots of things !

But I fear we are getting well off topic !

And thats what I love and part of what I collect and listen to but I dont want to hear it at a "northern soul night". If that is what rare soul is then so be it but don't tell me it's a "northern soul night ".

what is northern soul then ?

mid tempo tunes, rnb , boogaloo have been part of the early scene since the mod clubs like the scene club in london

jamaican - latin - mid tempo things have always been played with up tempo Detroit things since day 1

It wasn't something Keb did first

Guy Stephens was mixing all sorts of quality tunes 20 years before when they were new releases !

at a central London venue in the 60s

Its just about taste mate.

I love the Mike Terry saxaphone stompers, but I also love Ray Barretto's percussion !

All pre northern soul .........yes played at The Scene, Discotheque,Tiles,Ray Baretto part of a minute latin boogaloo craze,Guy Stevens......was a deejay at The Scene and Pye R&B compiler,Jamaican ska etc..........but it was the brassy uptempo motown sounding records that defined northern soul like it or not and not Slim Harpo,Buddy Guy,Skatalites,Ray Barretto.........these have a lot to do with eighties mod revisionists! and not seventies mods who kept the faith.

Hey bollox, I've still got all my hair.... :lamsey:

Oh, and though he won't admit it, Beggsy has a small bald spot starting at the back of his head.....you can see it everytime he turns to face the back of the stage whilst giving it large on the mic :elvis:

Now, to save you spending all night arguing the toss about fcuk all, and in doing so, wasting a good dose of topomax, take the following advice and then off to bed young man...(plus Mr.Wiggyflat can have a good old singalongabedtime... :thumbsup: )
