Jumpinjoan Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 why do blokes in their 50's need to do all-nighters? Maybe for the same reason someone in their 20's does - they enjoy it Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest gordon russell Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 (edited) another reason is that generally you'll hear fook all worth hearing at most soul nights....especially south of manchester .Or to be more precise...PETERBOROUGH and NORTHANTS Edited January 8, 2009 by gordon russell Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Beeks Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 why do blokes in their 50's need to do all-nighters? That made me laugh out loud On a serious note though...I think it is testement to the music that folks who should know better are still going out dancing in sweaty environments until 'stupid o'clock' well into their old age...how many music scenes can boast about that? It is without doubt a Unique scene in that respect and long may it continue Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Miss Schmidt Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I think in the USA or Jamaica it's quite normal to go out and dance when you're in your 50s. Obviously I don't mean stupid tango or foxtrott dancing.. It's great, the older people are much cooler anyway and have much more clue about the music. Without them it wouldn't be the same and quite rubbish. Just my opinion..props to the "older" folks Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 why do blokes in their 50's need to do all-nighters? I'll take a wild guess it's the for the same reason that blokes in their 20's and 30's do it.............they enjoy it . Not really a question that will become an issue for me for a long time ( ) but if you enjoy something then surely you keep doing it for as long as you possibly can....after all it's a short life and you're a long time dead.

Modernsoulsucks Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Yeah I kinda read this thread wrong as why DONT you go to allnighters in your 50's. I think D'arcy's argument threw me. It's not Beeks fault. According to him some dj called Kid Mohair played the Ford 45. Does anybody on here think TEF is in any way connected to Northern Soul. It's not even R&B but country/pop. What next? "Big bad John" Instead of calling it the R&B room you could re-name it "Family Favourites" and send out requests to the BFPO Massive. F**king Hell. No wonder I can't be arsed going anywhere and sitting through shit like that, soulful house, Beach music and all the other crap introduced by clueless wonders.

Of course it fitted into genre masquerading as R&B cos most of that's pop/rock'n'roll. I don't think the crowd would know a real R&B record if it came in, introduced itself, lifted up it's skirt and sat on their faces!!! As a bit of a closet TEF fan I suggest you search out "Catfish Boogie". Now that does have some small link to 50's R&B in that it swings.
