Harry Crosby Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Was just thinking the other day, ive allways been a lover of 60`s uptempo soul, am slowly turning to the x over 60`s side of things, i just wondered if i hadn`t have gone to my local venue back then, THE OVAL BALL YORK run by wigan dj ALAN RHODES, if it had say been a more seventies orientated venue would i have gone down that road? how many people who were passionate about the sixties side of things have actually fully crossed over onto the modern scene, without the obvious front runners SAM, RICHARD ETC Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The 70,s stuff than the Jazz Funk/New York Disco, and into the Modern Soul scence, right up to 2K soul. Alot all the Crossover records where played in the 70,s we called them Floaters than. I still love crossover records but they are not modern soul. To me modern soul are the two-step and uptempo and even some house from 70,s 80,s 90,s and 00,s I did not give up on Northern in the 80,s like alot did on the Modern scene. I still want to lots of dos Tonys Blackburn, Bank Hall Miners Burnley, Piper Morecombe and Queens Hall Bradford and local dos. I started going to both M Soul and N Soul dos and still do. Thats 3 types of dos if you count crossover dos as well. (I did my swansong DJing on the Northern scene at Bank Hall Miners) I,m right in thinking you are the Harry that Ron Pedley introduced me to at the Wilton a year or so back. Dave.

Thats correct dave, will be out with ronnie this weekend, its an intresting thing that some people as you say just turned to modern soul, don`t think as yourself i could completely change my whole way of thinking, but as ive said before each to there own, there is a few things i enjoy but only because i was there at the time either sam or richard were playing them Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

You've got a good point there actually!! Must start saying 'uptempo sixties' or 'the dark side!' Can't have folk thinking I like that nine letter word that begins with 'c' and ends with 'r' AND PLEASE DON'T GET YOUR DICTIONARIES OUT TO LOOK FOR OTHER WORDS THAT FIT THE CRITERIA!!!
