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 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Epic Posted December 2, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

hipshaker 05 Posted December 3, 2006 Share 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.

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. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest ShaneH Posted December 5, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Baz Posted December 5, 2006 Share 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. He should take my advice and slip in a few modern oldies-I've got a reissue of Greg perry, It Takes Heart that he can buy off me for a fiver Take some advice off somebody who knows( I'm out at least twice a year)...it's what people want and the quicker you realise it the better Now then Reg dont make me tell you what you should do with that Greg Perry record didn't really want to get involved in this thread much after i posted that little ditty, but the crazy thing is im my earlyer spot i played what many of us would class as overplayed, floor was full job done so decided to be a bit more adventurous in the second spot with a few 'new' bits didn't go down to well but there you go no skin off my back some people like to get to know tunes befor they dance to them, but to call the likes of Eddie Whitehead, boss four, little herman ect ect shit you aint a northern soul fan looking back remember summin about nothing ground breaking or that rare spun.......that was never the idea of my self and lennys spots, all though i would say Johhny Rodgers and Eddie Whitehead are pretty f**kin rare to name two, my own veiw point was to mix it up old and 'new'..... known and not so well known, no one was trying to be ground breaking or play the rarest you can find. 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.
