Copernicus just called, apparently the Northern Soul scene isn't the centre of the Universe?

Had his Copernicus in a twist I reckon....

Hi Ken

I’m 73 this year, was visiting clubs from the age of 12 started going to all-nighters at the age of 13 every weekend , led a life in clubland all my life  dancing Dj,ing  was a Security boss for over 40 years, listened to music all my life, Mc,d at all major illegal and legal raves, seen and looked after some of the biggest acts in the world, met most of the American Soul acts that visited here from the early 1970,s had Steak n chips for supper with Jimmy Ruffin , had a Guinness with Ben E King, eg eg, could go on forever, I’m not boasting just telling it like it is, let’s just agree to disagree it makes life simple, and gives me time to have another adventure.

Have a great day

Mick,

there's not much between us then in age or road travelled ( not a doorman or MC thouugh).

My sisters tales as a Wheelite used to thrill me ( she was 6 yrs older than me, RIP) and that's where my interest started.

yup, it's just opinion.

have a good weekend

best

ken (aka Billy)

It is indeed nobody's scene.

But it does have an important working class history and past, and by trying to erase and co-opt that - have listen to producer Eve on BBC woman's hour claiming it as her scene and BNSC are the centre of it: a claim she knows is absurd and untrue - they are trying to make it a myopic vision and scene that they wish to dominate commercially. 

Two tracks spring to mind: The Snake & Backstabbers "they smile in your face".......

So, it definitely is a scene that does not need poisonous snakes and gentrifying 'influencers'

Bit harsh  but that’s your opinion which I respect but don’t agree with 

have a good weekend and hap soul life
