pikeys dog Posted May 21, 2007 Posted May 21, 2007 I'm afraid the scene had ceased to be "underground" as early as 1975. Seeing the likes of Wigan's Ovation and crew cavorting on 'Top of The Pops', and articles on Wayne Gibson et.al. in the tabloid press. That didn't sit easily with some of my generation's view of Northern Soul music one little bit! Must be wonderful being you....
Guest mel brat Posted May 21, 2007 Posted May 21, 2007 (edited) Must be wonderful being you.... Yes it is. What's it like being a amateur pirate impersonator with no useful opinions? Edited May 21, 2007 by mel brat
pikeys dog Posted May 21, 2007 Posted May 21, 2007 Wonderful... probably more upbeat and loving life. And I get to eat Bacon sarnies, which is always a boon.

Guest hurryup Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 Ayup ,Hurryup....nice to see you and Daz at the Empress other week,you going this week end ? Bazza Hi Bazza Not too sure at the moment, I always enjoy the Empress Rooms - good crowd and brill music, but we thought we fancied a change but then again - bear in mind that the Empress is only on at bank holidays, I think we might end up there. Watch this space Bazza
Pete S Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 Oh I get it! You're having a go because I'm a veggie! Another stick to beat me with I suppose. Lucky you! How on earth is he meant to know you are a vegetarian???
Peter99 Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 How on earth is he meant to know you are a vegetarian??? More to the point - how does he know he's a first rate cock!?

Madmandy Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 depends which way you take it I spose .... OER missus did I really say that?? PMSL Anyway ...back to the topic in hand ....

I do remember bali hi room /funk room with revolving floor and hanging vines / cane furiture ..had a very nasty experience in that room never went in there again! stayed upstairs Hi Mandy Mmm - there's a question! Would be about 1980/1 wouldn't it? Soooooooo long ago. I remember the revolving floor - I couldn't believe it when my mates told me. I was just a lad from the countyside - was too scared to go down and have a look to start with - what with them funk lot and all that!
Dave Morris Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 For me it would be '71 to '76.Left home just after and came south.Then picked up again from around '91 at a local do.Never looked back since.Loving every minute. Dave.
Guest mel brat Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 How on earth is he meant to know you are a vegetarian??? Elementary my dear Watson. He read my comments in the Freebasing room, presumably.
Guest mel brat Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 no, cos your a first rate cock who hides behind a screen name... Your eloquence is staggering and puts me to shame. (not!) oo-ar!
SteveM Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 Your eloquence is staggering and puts me to shame. (not!) oo-ar!
Guest in town Mikey Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 Your eloquence is staggering and puts me to shame. (not!) oo-ar! This is all a bit tame imo. The arguments and name calling were much better before 1975 Is that when mr Elson was a mod? The first page I'd turn to in Blues & Soul was the letters page.
Jerry Hipkiss Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 Is that when mr Elson was a mod? The first page I'd turn to in Blues & Soul was the letters page. ...or Dave G's column to see who was threatening who with writs!
Guest in town Mikey Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 ...or Dave G's column to see who was threatening who with writs! Back then Jerry the biggest threat I ever got was mum telling me she'd serve up what I didnt eat at tea time for breakfast lunch and dinner until it was all gone.
Jerry Hipkiss Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 Back then Jerry the biggest threat I ever got was mum telling me she'd serve up what I didnt eat at tea time for breakfast lunch and dinner until it was all gone. Aaah, you young sprog...and this at the time my mum was asking me if I wanted Sunday lunch when I'd just got in from a niter...
Guest vinylvixen Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 Aaah, you young sprog...and this at the time my mum was asking me if I wanted Sunday lunch when I'd just got in from a niter... Jerry, I'd forgotten that trauma - wishing we'd got a dog who'd clear the plate for me. But no, we didn't have a dog and each mouthful was a bit of an effort Best bits...'75-'82 (Wigan, West Hampstead, 100 Club, Bedford ) and then '98 onwards - Capitol Soul, Scenesville, These Old Shoes, Cleethorpes etc Jo
pikeys dog Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 How I Imagine..... Mel Brat (1 in a series of 20) Armchair Soulie No1 The acrid smell of his piss-soaked bathchair having seeped into his overly-nostalgic brain, combined with the discomfort caused by sitting in said piss has fuelled his thoroughly negative and repetetive rants.

chrissie Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 Seen this phrase a lot just lately....some say the 80's But to me 69 to 74 were my "heydays", I suppose its cos that was when it was new and exciting,and I was in my prime or youth ,todays scene is very different to the old days..for many reasons...some good some not so good.. Many complain about the number of venues,I think that will eventually turn out to be a good thing ...the good ones will survive....some others may not..but the choice is there at the moment...modern,oldies,100mph ,R&B..its all there for the taking...better that than just a few tired out old do's. todays scene is very healthy I recone Bazza NOW!!!!! Offspring grown up, single, even more fantastic music discovered and having a ball QoFxx

"Armchair Soulie No.1" ain't bad, I can live with that I guess. (However, my "piss soaked bathchair" still has more milage in it than your tired metaphors) PS. Shoot that dog, it's rabid!

But, how would you possibly know that? (or anything else come to that!) PS. Wigan stunk! Edited May 24, 2007 by mel brat
SteveM Posted May 24, 2007 Posted May 24, 2007 Especially at the Mecca.. Was there anywhere else Dave ?
