Dot stop listening to what you like but turn your nose up at something new as you never know if you like it if you aint heard it. Thats my take on it anyway Bearsy
Guest Baz Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 Dot stop listening to what you like but turn your nose up at something new as you never know if you like it if you aint heard it. After myself and Len Dopson was on the other week some jumped up oldies prick said on the microphone.........thats enough of that sh*t lets get some proper stuff going, and went on to play over played oldies off CD's well f**k me mate any cnut can do that! bloke was some so called 'oldies god' from round these parts under the name of Gibby? I feel sorry for people like this they have never 'got it' nor will they ever get what its all about! call your self a northern soul fan give me a rest!

I feel sorry for people like this they have never 'got it' nor will they ever get what its all about! call your self a northern soul fan give me a rest! can understand you feeling a bit p****d off about Gibby saying what he did. I was there on the night and personally thought there was no need for it,shame really cos i think all the djs played some quite good stuff, i didnt hear anything that was that groundbreaking or rare from any body but there was some nice stuff played,..i would agree that Gibby was lets say predictable. but he did fill the floor which is important for a good night, you did play some different tunes that i thought were good and while they sometimes didnt get a full floor i think on the whole they were apprieciated.....point i am making, there is no need for a them and us situation i think that a good mixture of the well known and not so well known can go down well together... good luck to you mate!..... on a less positive note i do think you are a bit over the top with your language etc.towards Gibby, dont think its fair to call the guy a jumped up ***** unless i dont know the full story he didnt have a go at you personally just the music , you gotta show a bit of respect! in their day before it was called n.soul these guys were playing what to them at the time was rare soul! ( not so different from what you a trying to do now) remember 60s black soul music was just not available to djs then let alone the mass public unlike now ..so like it or not they did kick the whole thing off ... dont want to start a whole argument off , just think we should all show a bit of respect for each other and concentrate on keeping the local scene strong and vibrant no matter what you taste is!......Jem Edited December 1, 2006 by jemco
Russ Vickers Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 Personally feel that if someone said what they said on the mike, they deserve what they get, Im all for living & let live, but if Gibby hadnt of made the comment the post would never have been made............personally whilst I enjoy all aspects of the music on the scene, I do get a tad peeved at the sanctimonious attitude of some oldies only fans who are of the opinion that the only real NS records are the ones that have been thrashed to death....................maybe Giblet or who ever he is should keep his gob shut on the Mike & let the dancefloor speak for itself ???. Russ
Epic Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 Think it is totally wrong when DJing to have a pop at the preceding jock to yourself. It is just courtesy to thank him for his spot over the mic. Whether you liked his tunes or not is a different matter & expressing a negative opinion on them is well out of order.

I feel sorry for people like this they have never 'got it' nor will they ever get what its all about! call your self a northern soul fan give me a rest! Lenny is a great bloke, having known him on and off for a few years . . . mainly off! In my opinion he DOES TRY to play off-the-cuff type of records, that given the break by perhaps the TOP d.j.'s would be accepted by the masses. If say a record was played by Lenny, then also played by Soul Sam, people would only accept that record as it was played by Sam. People have always been like sheep on the scene as to their ideas . . . easily led!! Perhaps a little self interest should play a part . . . what you like is what you like . . . not what you think others think you should like. Probably. Martin p.s. nowt wrong with oldies, but there are other great records just waiting to get played also.

Hi Dave, i had sort of done with this now but as a matter of courtesy i will reply to you ,firstly totally agree about the manners point , think i have already made this clear!!...secondly never suggested the guy was a current innovator, merely that in their day guys like him were, and on that particular night the oldies he played did get a packed floor wether on cd or not...for the record we dont play cds , vinyl only at our Diamonds night so you can guess my thoughts on the cd issue..however again each to his or her own on that subject , wasnt really commenting on that. or the oldies/ unknown debate...save that one for a rainy day!.....cant agree with you on the terminology used by Baz or any one else for that matter inc. Gibby! issue...thats why i used the better to rise above! quote and thats why ...i didnt keep quiet...best of luck mate ...Jem
hipshaker 05 Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 totally agree with this ....... i think many of these so called overplayed oldies are catchier and more immediate .... and therefore more accessible for those new to northern soul (or more or less any genre for that matter). sometimes i think people who have been into a scene and delved ever more deeply forget a bit about what sort of thing it was that first got them into it. not saying that there aren't catchy and immediate new tracks around though .... probably just less of them and more that are an acquired taste. =========== Personally I think they're a great place to start, in general (please note I've said in general) they've got a bit more oomph to them and maybe a more commercial sound than some of the current faves, and probably they're more dance friendly, all important points to someone experiencing the scene for the first time. Course this is only my opinion Winnie:-)

Oldies v Newies, tried and tested but predictable techniques like the haymaker and splashdown against sneaky ninja style high risk tactics? Spencers and vests or the black pyjamas? Who'll win? Threads like this are dead funny, mate of mine reckons that people into soul must be really lovely, cool, chilled out people but I reckon people are more often a mixture of Victor Meldrew and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Steve G Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 my empire, my empire! back to the original topic...i have been on the scene for a only a very limited time compared to most and i was bored of the same old after around 2 years. god knows how the original wigan crowd can still listen to the old stuff week in week out! shane Yup, as an occasional DJ (when anyone allows me behind the decks) what you play in part depends on the type of venue you are at, and also the time you are on. So if I can put it another way using two examples, at the Bass Museum later this month it'll be mainly new (i.e unplayed / less played) material from the 70s / 80s. At an across the board northern night last hour or two (as in Letchworth last Friday), it'll be mainly known sounds / oldies with fewer first time spins. IMHO starting DJs should always thank the previous jock (whatever they might think); it's just common courtesy after a set. No one sets out to play a bad set, so all this "last set cr*p" stuff sounds severe.
Guest ShaneH Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 ahh but are they the original crowd ? ps, been trying to ring ya shane i have met people at oldies events who have told me they have been on the scene over 30 years. this usually means they went to wigan with their older brother twice in '76. They then met a girl, got married and had kids and was never to be seen again. Then by accident in 2002 they attend a leaving do for their workmate, Plumber Pete, at the local WMC. After a few shandies they are dragged onto the floor by one of the ugly birds in accounts to dance to 'Jimmy Mac'. Whilst trying to do the moves again they try to tell Sandra in accounts that they use to dance to this 30 years ago and in a drunken slur they also tell Sandra that 'you never lose the magic'. Sandra tells him that she loves all this motown stuff and regularly attends a local soul night once a month. This causes the returnee to lose sleep thinking about the 'glory days' and how it all went wrong which then sees him divorcing his wife, buying some baggy trousers, a few patches and a couple of pressings. i bet my bottom dollar that this story is exactly true for someone shane
Guest Baz Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 Oh Mike does this mean you're giving your permission for a big old row In that case...(let me have a think about who I can upset ) I think Baz is a rubbish dj as I've never heard of any of that old 60s rubbish he plays and I've heard him play at least once.

P.S it does say on the flyer oldies and newies and 60's & 70's dancefloor soul. Some one else mentioned about he did the job and filled the floor..he may have done, but so did i, and i did it with me own records not playing CD's and gobbing off on the mike with verbal cancer.
