Ian Levine On Mary Fox Soul Show

[Dave]

I suppose because I said I liked his stuff and said it had a right to be called Northern Soul, you maybe label me as a Levine disciple?

Well I'm not. And I certainly don't agree with the way IL launched into folks the way he did on the radio show. But then again I believe in turning the other cheek. But that's because I'm actually a disciple of a different jewish bloke - one who was crucified 2000 years ago and whose entry into m y life changed everything for me.

Whether Levine's album has the right to be called northern soul will be proven if it gets played and accepted at northern events.. pretty doubtful IMHO.

Not too sure what the religous stuff has got to do with it, but....

Does this remind you of anyone?

Well on the other Levine related topic Hitsville Chalky said he played the AngeloStarr track and indicated that others would too, and that people liked it so I think at least one track can now be called Northern Soul?

Well like all fanatics I have to get my point across any chance I get

Well maybe Thora Hird then Can't take him seriously, although I probably shouldn't have lsitened and I wouldn't have if my attention hadn't been drawn to it by this thread. Prefer Messrs Searling and Bicknell on the radio to be honest

Just in case anybody doesn't know, Ian Levines nickname in the mid Seventies was ENA after the Coronation St character Ena Sharples. Some of the factual information about "names & places" he mentioned was interesting. Unfortunatly the usual.... I discovered northern soul / Kiosk in Blackpool .....etc scenerio was inevitable I suppose.

No one person is bigger than the "Scene", and I dont think Ian Levine has embraced that fact yet.

Mark,

If these emails are abusive or nasty then that kind of behaviour simply cannot be condoned. I think whoever has sent these emails should be named and their content exposed. If they habve used SS PM facilities then possibly banned from the site for abuse. Mods ?

This is supposed to be a forum for discussion and debate isn't it?

Northern Soul is and always has been a very broad church, and as such will lead to conflict of opinion from time to time, but when it disintegrates to abusive or nasty personal messages and emails then that's taking things waaayyy too far.

That's how I feel anyway.

I've also received several emails, not via the site though. People will talk...

[Mark Bicknell]

None what so ever Pete, if it needs to come out then I will keep you all posted, but this has nothing to do with me stopping doing the radio show as I've been considering my options and future of the show for sometime now, thanks for your concern Pete.

Hi Mike, I think it could be just me mate who has recieved an email, guess I'm an easy target with the show, but if you can find anywhere on SS where I have slagged off anything connected with this or other threads with reference to Mr Levine then please show me, I may have perhaps been a little glib and disrespectful but that's it, all I said was that the subject was of no interest to me and not to fuel the fire and often people can shot themselves in the foot without any help from others, at no time have I questioned the merits of certain recorded work, it would seem and has been suggested in a second Email that as Disc Jockey's I/we have to champion records, yes is the case if I/we feel that it falls into what I/we are about, I have certainly never said a bad word about anybody or anything connected with the Soul scene on my seven year time on Solar. I have never played a tune for the sake of it either when DJ'ing out at the venues or on the show, I would like to think that I have some integrity musically and always have to be honest and true to myself...what happened to free speach and opinion anyway?

I replied to this Email in a professional and polite manner and passed on copies to others it concerned which is no one connected directly with SS.

Have no fears Mike if this gets out of hand I will print the contents of the Email in full which again will cement and confirm just how costic this whole episode really is.

Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Thanks for the reply Mark, appreciated.

Sure you can understand why any member feeling a need to delete posts on here is a major concern to me, espically when take into account other recent news.

Soul Source is supposed to be a site about soul music, where soul fans can post their view on all soul related matters without looking over their shoulder

Does seem there are some f*****s who can't accept this and are tryng to censor/controls members views on here

All for a easy life me, but have to say that am taking these attempts to influnce what is posted on here as deliberate attempts to damage what we have got going on here ...

Mark I understand your approach and I've always noticed how diplomatic and polite you are in your replies over the years. However, now and again, sometimes you just have stand up to people and tell them to f*ck off.

[Trev Thomas]

just had a listen.....he's just a sad old man who cant come to terms with the fact that he has no place on the scene anymore

Some people won't accept others point of view.

Can you not download the link and listen to it in Real Player?

I think 'The Wrong Side Of Town' proves IL can make northern soul these days. But the kind of soul fans I know don't like being told what to like. They like to discover a track by the Volumes (for example)where originality, 40 years and three thousand miles separates them. Difficult to arrive at the same credibilty level with this bloke dancing next to me at the Rocket ...
