Soul-slider Posted January 4, 2009 Author Posted January 4, 2009 Thanks for that Chalky, looks like it's gonna be a good un'. I knew Martin Freeman was a fan. Did you notice, even in a record shop in downtown Detroit they had the 'Northern Soul' fist on the wall!!

Did you notice, even in a record shop in downtown Detroit they had the 'Northern Soul' fist on the wall!! The store shown in the clip / programme , is Brad Hales' Peoples' Records ( 3161 Woodward at Peterboro in Detroit , tel (313) - 831 - 0864 ) , which relocated there following the fire earlier this year which destroyed his original store in the Forest Arms apartments........

Looking forward to this, thanks for the nod on the programme.
Stubbsy Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 will have to record this. There's a 5 minute clip HERE Excellent Have to make sure I'm in on Tuesday! Nice to see the FB's getting a little bit more recognition for all the great sounds they contributed to!!
Pete S Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Hasn't this already been on? Where he goes and meets the Funk Brothers in Detroit?
Soul-slider Posted January 4, 2009 Author Posted January 4, 2009 Hasn't this already been on? Where he goes and meets the Funk Brothers in Detroit? Must have been on Sky Pete. BBC2 programme doesn't say repeat in the listing.
Guest Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Hasn't this already been on? Where he goes and meets the Funk Brothers in Detroit? Why it is familiar Pete , is part of it has been shown on " The Culture Show " a couple of months ago , when it was billed as a trailer for the full programme that would be shown in January 2009 ........

Guest posstot Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Hasn't this already been on? Where he goes and meets the Funk Brothers in Detroit? oooooooooohhhhh, have you just had a.... de ja voo moment?
Pete S Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Must have been on Sky Pete. BBC2 programme doesn't say repeat in the listing. No honestly - I've seen it - he goes into a bar where the 2 remaining funk brothers are playing.
Winnie :-) Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Hasn't this already been on? Where he goes and meets the Funk Brothers in Detroit? ================== Thought I'd seen it as well, maybe bbc 3? Winnie :-)
Pete S Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Heres the link to the original topic and broadcast https://www.soul-source.co.uk/Bbc2-Fu...ure#entry933840
Guest Matt Male Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) I can see what Pete means. The way it could be read is that the Martin Freeman clip is from a Culture Show on November 25th and on January 6th there will be a Motown Culture Show special, it doesn't actually say that the Martin Freeman thing is part of the Culture Show special on January 6th. The wording is a bit ambiguous. I hope i'm wrong. 'To celebrate its 50th anniversary, actor and passionate Motown fan Martin Freeman visits the record label's birthplace - Detroit - where he meets the unsung heroes of Motown, The Funk Brothers. You can see the 30-minute programme Motown: A Culture Show Special on Tuesday 6 January.' Edited January 4, 2009 by Matt Male

The original clip that I saw was only about 5 minutes long so I hope the longer version will be better because what I watched wasn't great
Guest soulboy Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 I'd heard Martin Freeman was a bit of a mod/souly, now i believe.
