Trouble In Northants?


Recommended Posts

Following a bit of a ding dong on the events lookback for Silk in Wellingborough, and the impression it gave that there are warring factions within the County, I thought it appropriate to state the following facts!

Myself and Jem promote Going to a GoGo in the Rushden area. We are great mates with the promoter of Cream Cracker, Rothwell, Kev Such. We DJ for him and vice versa.

We are also on great terms with Trev and Steve of Stompers and Shufflers at Kettering and frequently meet up with them and Kev for a Sunday chill out at the 3 Cocks in Kettering[highly recommended if you are at a loose end, and it's free]

Likewise we are on great terms with Karl Boddington of Desborough and Corby fame. He rarely misses one of our nights and we go to Desborough regularly.

The 2 Wellingborough events, We Got Soul and Soulfull Shack are great little venues run by great guys, namely Jack and Barry, and Mark D. All of whom we respect and get on with brilliantly. Both Jem and myself are regulars at their events.

We also have Paddy Grady putting on different sorts of events across the county and broadcasting a soul show on Radio Northampton. Another sound guy who plugs all of the local events on his show and puts on some great live acts which we go to see as often as possible. Again no problems there.

Lastly we have our mate Len Dopson who has just finished his long running rare soul nights at The Embankment Club and has been jointly promoting Silk nights in Wellingborough. Another top guy that doesn't have a bad bone in his body!

All of the guys mentioned work together on avoiding clashes and where the odd hiccup has occurred in the past it has been talked through and steps taken to avoid a repeat in the future. I know of several occasions when dates have been changed to avoid a clash.

I am not aware of any other major soul events in the county but if I have missed anyone then I do apologise.

Why do I find it neccesary to bore everyone with this? Well, one well known local individual has been undermining most things that we and others in the area are trying achieve. Why? We really have no idea but we have overwhelming evidence to support our case. I am determined to prove that the music is bigger than any individual and call upon all the guys that I have mentioned to come on here and back me up on the FACT that there are no problems between Promoters in Northants!

To quote The Jackson Five 'don't let one bad apple spoil the whole bunch'

Sorry about the rant, Steve B.

Hi Steve

I can honestly say that in all the years (& it has been quite a few!!) I have been promoting in the Northants areas and beyond, I have never had one single problem from any other promoters, far from it, always got on really well and friendly with them!

Dont let it get you down mate, forget about them & the sniping, I do! I will continue to help all I can with pushing local soul nights on my soul show on BBC Radio Northampton, to help keep the local scene going strong in what is normally a very friendly area of the country.

Cheers

Paddy

Yep, definitely The Osmonds! Amazingly never a hit not sure if it was released on a 45, anyone?

And yes this is really interesting!!!

Guys it was a BIG hit for The Osmonds!

George Jackson wrote it for The Jacksons who (alledgedly) turned it down... but the Utah Brothers recorded it and it became a massive hit!

Fascinating!

Sean, when you say massive hit do you mean accross the pond?

As my source of info (guinness book of hit singles) says nothing about it charting on these shores!

The plot thickens!

Ah, just realised I have been confusing it with "ABC" for years. Now THAT was definately the Jackson Five - wasn't it?

Five Weeks @ Number 1 and sold 5,000,000 copies.

Probably Rick Hall's / Fame's Biggest hit... and it helped pave the way for tons of 'superior' Soul material from Muscle Shoals.... and George Jackson.

Seems that you and this fella Jem are more monkeys throwing shit, like the ones in the Peterborough zoo.

Only difference is... it's not clear who you're throwing the shit at!

Cant believe there are so many ""Osmond"" fans on here shades.gif:D:lol:

I think Blues & Soul listed "Apple" in the soul chart before anyone in th UK had seen 'em. Or maybe that's just urban myth. Or Mormon myth.

Little Jimmy's Long Haired Lover from Liverpool was a cover of James Carr song (possibly :lol: )

A very good POP record ; Marie still incredibly easy on the eye .....

And let's not forget Justin .....

Merrill was the most popular Osmond in South Yorkshire ; they even named a road after him in Thurnscoe ....
