Kenb Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Two recent SS topics aligned like the planets for me today! 1. Northern Soul and Age in 2017 - Carry On Regardless? 2. Yate, Just A Distant Memory ? (original post 2006) Which got me thinking…biggest regret? What’s yours? It's maybe that '"i wish i would have momemnt" or records, people, artists, venues, visits, events, lost a record, sold one,... Mine is missing out on some of the great records played at the post M/T/W era. Many of which were played out by DJ’s (who also feature & contribute as members on this site) at other venues around the UK. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Winsford Soul Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Not music related but happened at the Casino. 39 years ago I was meeting my then girlfriend there and happened to take a friend to the Casino who had never been before. Who just happened to be a girl. When my girlfriend who was waiting on the stairs to the balcony saw me with this friend she just walked off . I never ever saw her again even though she lived in my home town of Widnes . I would give anything to explain to her what really happened even after all this time.

Peter99 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Not soul related. Ending my relationship with the girl I now know was my soul mate - never really adjusted to life without her and never been in a serious relationship since. Biggest fcuk up of my life.

Robbk Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I wish I would have had the nerve to talk to the Motown old-timers and ask them about their pre-Motown days and the early years at Motown, while I worked there. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pga1 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Hiya, no regrets, lived a great a manic life. Always skint, been so poor at times but it's been fantastic, as my 70 odd older brother said to me recently ' pete I know I have properties, money etc but you have had a fantastic life while I was trying to build mine' of course I have missed moments but not regrets (liar) Carl Carlton- backbeat 6 or 8 quid ? No thanks another round, constellations 10 quid and my favourite missed chance was back in the seventies and I still love the record ' good times on lamp- my comment at the time ' what a great soulful tune but the beat is a bit too ska like, it will never catch on' I have / had/ may still have and I'm sure ? It was on a casino tape ? Cheers 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Roburt Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Giving in (so many times in the old days) to Paul Temple's constant bickering to sell him this or that 45 or UK LP . . . . it was easier in the end to let the rekkids go than to have to listen to him asking over & over again. NON REGRET . . . . being the age I am. This allowed me to be around 'on-the-scene' (mid to late 60's) in the golden age of UK soul (mod) clubs AND to see so many great artists live in their heyday.
