Good Thread, don't think so Dave, in our scene it make's no difference what so ever, i'm 58 and i've got very good friend's (soulies) age of 21 who run an alnighter, but I don't think that happen's anywhere else in the music scene........not like the extent of what the northern & r&b folk's do.

I might be wrong tho.

I,m 52 and I know 21 is young to be on the scene, but Sean has been doing the rounds for the last few years. Even DJing at Bury and Lowton and his show on Starport radio.

The soul scene is a big family of all sorts,shapes,sizes, and ages........But then its no wonder cus soul music is ageless, and will still be here when were gone ( Hope the same can be said for the scene tho ), Im 48 and still feel like an 18 yr old, most who know me would say l act like it too ,

but l dont care lm enjoying it still after 35 yrs, and dont intend to stop, so somewhere, someday, we will probably meet ........Friend,

Oh i dunno, Steve Cato said at Cleethorpes (after i just had to go back to the caravan after 6 hours solid dancing) "I dunno, these young 'uns have no bloody stamia!

[Chris Anderton]

I`m 38 and one of my best mates on the scene is Dave Lucas who was 60 last year....in fact he is older than my Dad!!

Chris

[Rushden Vic]

[Pete Burton]

Proves what a hard life you've had Tony cos you look at least 65.

[Margo]

but at leased me and mr darcy have still got all our own teeth

i.e. tomorrow we going to Sean,s 21st and next week we,ve got Roman,s 60th.

We attended Sean,s party on Saturday.But,during the afternoon a few of us "met up" for a coffee before we got down to some serious booze...............

Round the table were :

Terry Jones...Clarky....Bob Jeffries + Mrs Jeffries......Massey.....Alison and hubby......simon W......Me the bride and 2 others....and ofcourse Sean,all talking soul music.

What struck me was the way Sean more than held is own in this conversation,even to point were you think "how the bloody ell does he know that"

So in conclusion the answer must be NO age is not a problem,and even some of us older geeks can learn from the younger crowd (50 as we speak).

But at 21 he is my youngest mate.

Cos he's been an NS annorak since he was 12!. He dedicated all of his teens to learning about soul music.

Shame they didn't have a GCSE or A Level in it because he'd have walked it!. LOL.

You see us young ens have to be even more nerdy than the old ens...because we weren't there when it was happening...haha...

[Guest]

Carefull... he'll be wanting a payrise...

It's true though. He got his residency with us because he's always been so passionate about soul music, whether it's 60t's northern, motown or modern. He's got a great ear for good record and as long as I remember, he's always bought OVO too. Not easy when you're a student and not earning.

Such a shame his age plays against him on this scene.

Sean was absolutely made up on saturday night. (The support brought him to tears!) He had a great time with friends of all ages.

He was chuffed to bits to see Dave Lucas. Dave came all the way up the M6, popped in for a bit and then hot footed it to Lin Taylor's birthday night down in Birmingham, he really is a star.

See you all at Roman's 60th!.. (Another star of the scene)

Aah yes and apparently it'll never be like it was back then ever again!

I do love hearing stories from the 'more mature' soulies about the scene back then. Seems like they were all bloomin' mental!

[Guest]

yeh!. and the number of chemists that were done over in Manc before the T.Wheel (if you hear the stories!)..sneaking to the Wheel or the Casino and not

telling parents what they were upto, taking god knows what and wandering around various towns waiting for it to wear off....

and they moan about the youth of today!!..

...have you ever stopped to wonder why 40+year old men might really be interested in talking to a friendly and outgoing 24 year old girl?

[Spacehopper]

i can think of 2 others scenes where age isnt an issue....reggae and techno...ive been to nites of both and seen the same age difference as in soul and they both have more yougsters getting into them than soul has at present

[Guest Mrs Simsy]

I'd like to think that they're just sharing the knowledge but you've got me thinking now...

When Sean's 40, his social life will revolve around attending funerals

Yeah Reggae is a great scene for across the age appreciation...never had any problems there...they embrace all...perhaps though its all narcotically enhanced love but hey...its all gravy

Yes in the Airfix modellers club, we have members as young as 10 and as 'young' as

82. It's a real joy to see these people talking and sharing their experiences with each

other. Of course the older modellers tend to go for "their era" mostly WW II stuff or

prop airliners whilst the young kids will do F-16's or even more modern stuff.

I'm told (by my Aunties, nextdoor neighbours best friends cousin) that S & M particpants

can be from 16 to 60 quite easily.......allegedly..............

"Sharing The Knowledge". What a brilliant euphemism. Nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more....

[Guest]

I think you're very cynical. We're quite lucky on scene,many men are more interested in the records than pullin'...

I think many are genuinely more interested in having a keen and interested person (who hasn't heard the stories a million times) to talk to and reminisce with...

Just sharing the knowledge Kylee.

I don't ever consider age or race , religion or sexuality.

Just totally irrelevant to me.

But then I'm an old, British, hetro aeithist so what do I know

Hang on a minute.. I don't believe you are Welsh!

I watch Gavin & Stacey, and therefore I know that the Welsh begin every sentence with the phrase: "Now, I won't lie to you..."

Yeah, that's all right for you to say as an established member of the club!

However, I turned up last week with a Humbrol Fokke Wolfe kit and I was met with a very hostile reaction on account of "Humbrol are later issues and therefore not acceptable!"

With that I was shown the door!

Such snobbery eh?

G'Day, great thread, as we say your as old as the woman your feeling. We're all here for a good time not a long time so lets make the most of it. There's just so much soul and not enough time. 21 ?? ask the legs after a nighter, i know what my buggers would tell me. Oh well Stay Soulful. Best from OZ.

[Guest Carrie Mehome]

You never know, he might actually be your Dad!!!

I`m 38 and one of my best mates on the scene is Dave Lucas who was 60 last year....in fact he is older than my Dad!!
