pikeys dog Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Yeah, but that was for the Muppet Show Zip it Penfold.

Jumpinjoan Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 OK lets examine this: The records played by Godfather of Northern Soul Russ Winstanley included the Snake and Frank Wilson so "no longer has good taste in music" tick ! He was wearing what he was wearing so "isn;t a good dresser" tick ! He was doing random kicks and backdrops and did not appear to be dancing at all so "is a bad dancer" tick! One you missed out so "no longer has any credibility" tick tick tick !!! Come on stowtime... you can't be saying what we witnessed last night was credible? Jeez... even a mother would find it hard to be proud of that one
Guest Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 (edited) Yeah, but that was for the Muppet Show Steady Steve - comments like that are not expected from a leading member of " The Credibility Police " ........

KevH Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 c'mon guys lets get back to PoG!!!. The only reason NS was on was a vehicle for a"garlic bread" style joke from Her Royal Scouseness. GARLIC BREAD?,GARLIC - BREAD?....NOTHERN SOUL?.............NORTHERN......? SOUL .....?
Reg Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Okay the show was cringeworthy and a bit silly we mainly agree on that? But Liam doesn't deserve personal attacks does he. He's a nice lad , maybe with hindsight he may have thought "eh up, they're gonna do us up like a kipper" but aint hindsight great!

He's a nice lad , maybe with hindsight he may have thought "eh up, they're gonna do us up like a kipper" but aint hindsight great! Come on Reg... I don't think anyone's getting personal. He put it out there so he'll just have to ride what's come after . Hindsight... Hmmm... I don't think so. You're not telling me he didn't know exactly what was coming when he found out what type of outfit he was going to have wear.
Steve G Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 I hope Steve you have more than a passing resemblance to Sean Bean or that could rebound rather nastily. Still, it will earn me enormous Brownie points with my wife when I show her that compared to some I've made significant progress to becoming a model "new man". Let's just hope that nobody brings this to the ATTENTION of the FEMALE CONTRIBUTORS to this thread. ROD Hey Rod some of my best friends are chubby 50 somethings , but they don't wear those god awful sweatbands - which are just gross - and that was the point. Everyone knows that I am politically correct I also suffer from an occasional expanding wasteline meself . Anyway I am still not totally upset about this clowning about pastiche on POG - I see it as kind of an update of something the Goodies might have done 30 years ago. And my parents haven't yet rung up to ask me if I saw it either!

I don't think so. You're not telling me he didn't know exactly what was coming when he found out what type of outfit he was going to have wear. I was laughing from behind the sofa with everybody else but some people have been a bit nasty I thought.
Guest Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 (edited) I was laughing from behind the sofa with everybody else but some people have been a bit nasty I thought. I agree Reg some very snide remarks indeed. From the usual suspects. I'm not sure it's possible to portray the scene well on tv. Taken out of it's proper environment the dancing looks bizzare, and mostly the music don't sound too good. Ultimately on a day when i've just read a post informing us that a soulie has lost a son none of this really matters at all. Derek Edited October 15, 2008 by Derek Jack
Mak Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Did'nt watch it , had no ontention for watching it , did any of you expect any differant
Makemvinyl Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Yeah, but that was for the Muppet Show It was the Muppett Show and its on catchup channel 4.com
Guest littlemissoul Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Will you all get over yourselves go and put on some tunes and chill out. O don't think I will post any info again look what it started
Steve G Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Will you all get over yourselves go and put on some tunes and chill out. O don't think I will post any info again look what it started O don't be like that. This was always going to be controversial.
Jumpinjoan Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 I was laughing from behind the sofa with everybody else but some people have been a bit nasty I thought. Yeah, I guess some have been a bit over zealous. I suppose that may be down to some people expecting more from Liam. But that's other people's look out, and certainly not Liam's problem. At the end of the day it would appear having his five minutes of fame was far more important to Liam than what anybody on here thinks of him. Wouldn't do for me though... no way no how. But that's me.
Reg Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Yeah, I guess some have been a bit over zealous. I suppose that may be down to some people expecting more from Liam. Maybe you're right but its only a silly programme after all isn't it and has no relation to anywhere I go on a irregular basis I'm back to the other Liam of the moment now (Corrie)......and his final moments. The best bit of stuff on the box being killed off...now that does upset me
Guest soul99 easylay Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Storm in a tea cup, big fuss over nothing, blah, blah, blah - I've just watched and personally I think the (current) scene needs to descend from inside it's own colon and stop being so bloody po-faced & serious about everything.

(For your info I don't know anyone who appeared on the show, so I aren't jumping to the defence of a mate or anything).
Guest kev such Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 (edited) not sure about that invited on the show and dress suitably...have you heard of the word "NO" thats all they had to say. You have to want to go on there dressed like that. as for kev s....these are just the type of venues he subscribes to,so l guess thats why he has no embarrasment ...T It nevers ceases to amaze me just how well you know me Terry, its kinda spooky. I bet you've been going through my bloody bins again, and to think i blamed it on foxes. Edited October 15, 2008 by kev such
Guest rasfoz Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 the thing about the POG clip is,yes it is a piece of tacky harmless fun to be laughed at.Yes it has nowt to do with the real scene,but it's the rest of the scene that has the piss taken out of em because these fools can't see any further than the end of their noses tezza Spot on the amount of shit you get off the workmates ect well thats it even the fucking vicar is gonna take the piss now
Speedlimit Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 IMO the girls looked no more or less embarrassing than any other wearer of circle skirts. I thought you was of the 'wear what you like' school of thought Dawn? hi byrney winstanley must be hard up for bookings
innocenti Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 hi byrney winstanley must be hard up for bookings Also by bringing in the latest 'Pin up' Northern Soul dancing fame hunting Fanatics 2008 why Didn't Whinstanley (is that how you spell the geezers name who we have to fank so bleeding much for as he created, moulded and unfortunately expoited the coined term Northern Soul) Mind you when was the last time your 'Local' Face true hard core life devoted DJ danced for the whole night when they wearnt have their 15 minutes of local fame behind the decks????????????? Ie. How many reguarly playing DJ's on todays scene do you know who reguarly dance every week?
spot Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Knew this would start a whoop arse storm, so here goes; Bloody hell Paul Degrading must have been a regular, didn't he say "Justin Winstanley"? Well he was just in his same 1973 Polo shirt & Farah slacks with the waist let out & apiece inserted, no doubt. Thanks to the 3 Amigo's & Pan's People of Soul you can expect a similar rush as back in 74-75 & look what that did?? We only went for the Music, yeh, my arse!!!!! Northern Soul dance lessons & high kick, "If I did that my kidney would fall out", well here's hoping Paul!! What an advert for our scene, a good 20 minutes of piss taking by a Scouser, well I can get that at any venue & I don't have to pay a license fee for it.There will be another 1000+ people you know who suddenly spent their youth at the Casino but never actually went. MY GOD I'll have to hang my head in shame & hide my face, venturing out only under the cover of darkness. "GET THEE BEHIND ME SATAN" or as Nan on Catherine Tate would say, "WHAT A F***KING LIBERTY". Take care,be safe & remember,"We all get 15 minutes of fame", Spot.
Guest Simon Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 So to sum it all up this thread pretty much falls into two camps: One group of people who thinks the programme is just a bit of harmless fun & that the soul police/chinstrokers are all too precious & should lighten up a bit & one group of people who care passionately, are interested in credibility, suss, principles, respect & the long term view of what Northern Soul presents, i'm fairly sure i know which camp i'm proud to be in.

Simon I'm in the third group - it was so bad it was actually sad. How can we take this looning about / POG falling over doing a backflip etc. seriously? It was like a comedy wind up sketch like Catherine Tate or something but with real people we know.
Tabs Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 But surely thats the point - it was sad, embarrasing, inaccurate. Made more so by real people we know who should have known better.

Miss Schmidt Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 (edited) Liam said to me he doesn't give a damn what people on here say..Surprisingly he isn't even embarrassed ,or maybe doesn't admit it, haha. That stupid TV show is not really a reason to get nasty and personal, is it? ( although I felt a little sick, cheers guys) Edited October 15, 2008 by Miss Schmidt
Iancsloft Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 (edited) In the aftermath of the show after having a good laugh and more than a bit of cringing personally i think what most of us are worried about is the general public seein us Northern Soul lovers as vest wearing twirly skirt wearing soulies living in the past which we all know for the majority of us is,nt true .Yesterday was a TV Show trying to show the public what the 70,s was like at Wigan Casino Niters it involved asking the girls to dress up aka 70,s style and Paul O, Grady as a celeb presenter got in the swing of things as he saw fit 1973 tank top style he he with his bags and alniter bag trying to recreate the style of dress at the Casino .Regarding Russ Winstanley well theres no getting away from the fact he was the driving force along with Mr Marshall the owner and Mr Walker the Cas manager in getting the niter up n running in the first place and Russ well he had the say who DJ,D in the Casino and he made the right choices most of the time as the attendances throughout the 70,s proved in fact many of the 45,s spun at Wigan especally around 79 /81 are still considered classic rare dancers today Magnetics / Ray Agee ect ect ect so who can blame Russ for making a living these past 30 odd years on the back of one of the Worlds greatest Clubs its his job its one of the ways he makes a living to pay the bills like i make a living within the youth justice system good luck to him , a lot of us on here have moved on musicwise since the days of Wigan Cas we have discovered many many truely magnificent recordings with the help of soulies like Ady Crosdal, Rob Thomas Andy Dyson Tim Brown n M.Koppell Butch, Ian Levine n C. Curtis John Manship Soul Sam Richard Searling Rob Marriot Gary Spencer Guy Hennigan, Dave Flynn & the Capital Soul Club djs, Mick H Mark Bicknall Roger Banks my good friend rip Pete Lawson ect and many many more soulies who never get the credit they deserve for bringing new 60,s 70,s 80,s soul music to us.. Has for Sandy Holt well hes a great guy with a genuine love of Northern Soul Music just like me and everyone else whos posted on this topic he,s on these progs because of his love of the music and his dancing skills which aint bad for a guy his age Liam & Co young Soulies trying to recreate the dancing skills of yesteryear and Liam well hes got some great moves you cant deny that !!! All in All it was just a show about what went on in the past it really was nothing like that thats for sure i went to nearly all the niters at Wigan and believe me you cant fit into a tv prog what it was really like nothing can recreate the past at Wigan Casino you had to live in those times to know what it was all about the Music the Friendship the Gear ect ect Happy Days.. But most of us have moved on thank god and soulies like me and many more have a lot to be thankful to the Black youngsters of 60,S America for bringing us such a Wonderful Wonderful Music which without there would,nt have been a Northern Soul Scene never mind a Wigan Casino DONT KEEP THE FAITH..SPREAD IT !!!

Iancsloft Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 I don't like personal attacks. I respect that everyone deserves an opinion but I feel that people have overstepped the mark. Maybe they should come up and slag us all to our faces next time we're out. ================================================================================ = Totally agreee mate personal attacks on people are well out of order blimey Northern Soul Scene as always been classed as friendly mind you, you would,nt think it on some of the shinnaniggins whats gone on these past years LOVE ,PEACE & HAPPINESS THERES ENOUGH HATE IN THIS WORLD WITHOUT FALLING OUT OVER A TV PROG WHICH WAS ONLY TRYING TO RECREATE THE PAST..
