"Hate's" a bit strong tho',i just tend to mildly disagree.
paup-ine Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 great post your right just how i feel ,Soul in the sun was the best feeling iv had about the scene for years loads of real nice people put my faith back in to it all ! Agree, agree, agree!! P

I genuinely apreciate really good Soul music from all eras... and I too am perfectly capable of deciding what I like - with or without the halo! I actually prefer Soul music from the 60's... but consider myself fortunate to be able to hear some good in all eras. What's not to like about that? Now, will someone pass me the polish! Sean

Guest posstot Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 I'll tell you what I hate most about this scene, although I'm not too sure wether it is the scene's fault or just the fact that being involved within a scene brings about certain reactions from people that are socially unavoidable. Anyway. A lad I know, that will be known to some of you, who got into the Northern scene late...who, since his inception......... .....That's what i can't stand, the opinion; "lads"...."late onto the northern scene" ...."since his Inception".. The slightly older Generation who think because they went to, Wigan, were the founders of the "Northern Scene" and anyone younger than them are not, attitude, because we were here first. .....What about the enthusiasts who went to the Wheel and The Torch ( for example ), do they belittle you because you weren't there. Because, there are probably a lot more years between them, and the LAD you talk of Barry.... Come from behind your cloak...WHOM is this lad, let him defend himself!!!
Guest dundeedavie Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 I actually prefer Soul music from the 60's... but consider myself fortunate to be able to hear some good in all eras. Sean that rules you out of the original quote , you never said it like those who don't are somehow inferior
Pete S Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 The bit between 1979 and now......the bit I missed! Best dogstoat Thats alright, you haven't missed anything contemporary, though you have missed some of the greatest 60's discoveries of all time...
Guest Bobble Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 If i like the tune and enjoy dancing to it, i dont care how rare it is, or what it cost to buy, or who the dj is. The only thing that is important to me is how the music makes me feel. the only thing i dont like is poor etiquette on the dance floor cheers

Philt Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Maybe, but it doesn't mean it should be forced on people as being representitive of "Northern Soul", just because it's soulful doesn't mean it's right for Northern consumption

The only thing that is important to me is how the music makes me feel. the only thing i dont like is poor etiquette on the dance floor cheers Well said,and thats exactly how it should be. The music, expression through dance and the way it makes you feel is all that matters. But thats just in my most humble opinion.
Ady Croasdell Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 I never liked the music much, or the trousers for that matter. I mainly got into the scene to improve my UK geography, which was, quite frankly, appalling. So I spent 25 years learning the ropes - could navigate from the M1 to the Wilton Ballroom whilst blindfolded, guided a minibus of locals to the Shotts allniter without a wrong turn, got to the Ritz without ever ending up in Canal Street, parked on a sixpence within 100 yards of the 100 Club, could tell you which motorway services had the best coffee and toilets. You name it, Logic Woman could get you there. Then some bastard invents SatNav... I know what you mean Theresa, I'm the same with the dishwasher; still like to do a good bowl of pots by hand.
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 I know what you mean Theresa, I'm the same with the dishwasher; still like to do a good bowl of pots by hand. What I hate most about the scene today is dishwashers and SatNavs. Especially when you need the latter to find your way to the former....
Guest Soultown andy Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 What i hate most is the stupid cow who rings my house every sat nite at 3, 4, 5 oclock in the mornin tryin to frighten women and children [always when im out]and that brave soldier who sends me the threatening text messages [for the last 3 years] every now and then,no doubt it was this very brave crew who set me up with the drug squad and armed response team at prestatyn,all anonymous of course.Apart from that, and to be honest none of it bothers me personaly as what comes round goes round [thats a promise],theres not much to hate as i only ever go to the venues and keep the company i want to.
Guest outonthefloor Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 People who tell me what to like People who tell me 70's disco is a natural progression of northern soul People who would sell their children and their friends for a Dj spot....actually this reminds me of the types of people who appeared on 'the word' and licked a grannys armpit just to get on telly.....but worse!!!! Friends djin for friends and the friends returning the favour...same do different venue. People who post on here saying do's are fantastic just so those people attend theirs Patronising w**kers 'Till Late' on flyers The scene reflects life so there is good and bad I have met some of the nicest people in the world through the soul scene and also some of the lowest scum bags......hey thats life. Avoid the bad, vote with your feet and remember...Its all about the tunes.. Helen
Roger Williams Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 The fact that forums make so many people fall out when never any real reason because if all contact was 'real world' or person to person it would hardly ever happen.

spot Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Soul Forum's that ask silly question's like, "What do you most hate about the scene", surely that's a perfect cue for all the negativity to come gushing forth, as proven. Take care, be safe & remember,"If you've nowt nice to say, then say nowt", Spot.

Guest Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 People who pigeonhole music because it was made in a certain year or judge music by it's rarity above it's quality. Good Soul music is just that regardless of wether it was made in the early 1960's or last week & also regardless of wether it cost a fiver or five grand. Give this man a medal. He summed up EVERYTHING that has been wrong with the Northern Soul Scene in two sentences. Bravo !!!!!!!
Guest gordon russell Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 (edited) funny thing is the people that take the piss and do all the dodgy things you've all posted about are the ones best supported kr comes to mind,but there are plenty more especially at a local level ......thats people for ya say one thing and do something else.

Bigsoulman Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 People who continually go behind your back spreading lies and rumours when they don't have the balls or the maturity to say it to your face. I've never met so many small minded people in my life as I have on this scene, some folks just have nothing better to do, why don't they just get on with enjoying the music.

Hi, I know you go back a long way, but why are you so prejudiced againt local soul nights? In fact under your avatar it says something like no local shite for me. What if you can't get to the Burnley all nighter, or some other big, somehow non-local do? Do you mean I can't go the Burnley all nighter, cos to me living in Burnley, it will be local shite? Do you not recall the local nights that ran from Sunday to Thursday almost everywhere? The weekend was for the Wheel, The Torch, Up the Junction, Cats, Casino, Samanthas, Mecca, Yate, Stafford etc, but the lifeblood of the scene was people going to these local nights and then developing their knowledge and hitting the big stage. Dave Moore put a list on here of all the soul nights held in Burnley over the years, and it came to over 25, and he missed some out. Dickie Pinks, a tiny working mens club where around 12 of us turned up every month for a year, had Karl, and John Atkinson playing their hearts out, but that was no local soul night shite, it was class. Just interested as to what you mean by local shite?

Yes there was only a few of us but the music more than made up for it. Dickie Pinks was only one of lots of cutting edge so called local dos around N.E. Lancs over the years. (some busy, some not)

Personally, I like all eras myself but I dont look down on people who only like 6ts or only Modern. Why would I? Its just musical preference and not indicative of their entire personality. Its very shallow to judge people for their musical preferences and whilst you accuse people with a broad taste of sanctimony you are actually guilt of it yourself. I've got mates who hate Soul but I like them for other reasons. There is a lot more to individuals than their taste of music. What I most hate about the Soul Scene is some of the shite people talk. The invented "rules" and the snobbery and elitist attitude of some folk. I consider myself a Soul fan and dont get wrapped up too often in boring scene politics as quite frankly there are much more interesting things happening in the real world. When I do go out to a nighter or event it is to dance, hear tunes that pick me up, have the crack with nice people but not be stuck in a corner intellectualising about the "scene" and judging people for their personal tastes in music. I just ignore any sh1t and dont get involved in it. Its boring and life is too short. Edited February 4, 2009 by andyrattigan

The only thing i don't like about this scene is that i live too far away from it and attending a soul event literally takes a weekend of my time, costs a bloody fortune and consists of a real "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" type of journey so when i get there, i just enjoy myself and appreciate the fact that i'm actually there soaking in all this music and atmosphere. You don't realise how lucky you really are! Hi Paul, Even though I live in the UK the hub of the scene, I cant afford to go out every weekend as I live in Brighton and there's not much going on here regularly. Even if there was I only like to go out every couple of months as that way I really cherish the night outand the music. By limiting going out I think one doesnt take for granted the wonderful aspects of the scene, which is mainly hearing wonderful music.
