lisa vanner Posted April 3, 2005 Posted April 3, 2005 Over the years my best friends have come through the soul scene. It is amazing when I think of my good husband Dave & my best friends have all come about through the soul scene. We are all a funny lot us soulies, very opinonated, gobby, always right, yet very true to our word and the best friends you could ever have. Soul has been my life since the tender age of 14. The good news is I still get that buzz when I hear those certain tunes, and hearing new tunes that I dont know but get me just as much as they did in the 80's. We all have a little gripe now and then about particular dues if they were a bit flat etc... but hey thank god for promoters who go to the trouble to put these events on. What would we be doing if no such venues existed. My hubby and I run the Diamonds Soul Club which by the way we are in talks regarding the next one, but know how hard and nerve racking it is to put such events on, hoping to please the crowds with the music we so love. Just sit back and remember we are the lucky ones still quite underground and forking proud to be a member of the soul society... May Northern Soul live on forever, and yes I am very drunk on this late Saturday Night. Hey Happy Souling hope you all have some great times ahead.....

Guest nubes Posted April 3, 2005 Posted April 3, 2005 Well said my darling, soul has been a part of my life from the 60s, through having a young motown loving mother to the mid 70s where i discovered northern soul via 'footsie' and beyond.Yes.there are times when we soulies are in danger of disappearing up our own oppionated a###s.but all things considered, would we really want to be amongst the great unwashed out there,tolerating rather than enjoying a night out? i think not,the soul friends i have made over the years,be it northern or soul funk, i have learned of each and every one of them ,loved and hated them in turn, but most of all, those who have since passed,i miss them with every fibre of my soul,every fibre Del xx
