  1. test for front page show
  2. lifts forum and new playlist forum are now open and subforums of this forum
  3. opened for a trial run as have had requests for a place where members can post and read playlists please note this is for PLAYLISTS only the event thread is the place for lookbacks etc suggested format is post in event thread along with any view comments on the nite post here a simple playlist with a link to the event thread it is a trial and the approach of site is 1. event thread is the primary and the logical place for playlists 2. This forum is a extra and should be used as well as the event thread not instead of it 3. it is a members run thing, eg up to members to use if wish thanks mike
  4. Events real world forum has been started to offer a place for general event type discussion Felt needed as the current event forums are mainly all about specific events (as in individudal one nite events) and due to the upcoming rigid date format felt there was no logical place for threads which go beyond having purely one nite as the subject/focus Aim is for subjects such as If a promoter had news about the future of all their events, members discussion on events in one area, promoters future plans, event website news, etc etc If do wish to discuss individual events then as before please post in the relevant event forum thanks mike
  5. moved this here as now have a place is for general event talk am also closing this as to be blunt it seems to me to be a thread more about promotion of a event rather than any discussion on torch etc as this thread last year seemed to be a one off, moderation sort of relected this as it is now a regular event, ask that the promotion on these forums reflects that thanks mike
  6. Sad news indeed He used to be a regular poster on here especially in freebasing a few years ago, was just looking at some of his old posts, always enjoyable reading Please pass on my thoughts and condolences to all his family and friends mike (site note: two threads merged and title edited)

  11. ?Rare pleasure? - let me down easy I love the fact that its British, it?s a great dancer and yet slightly melancholy, the lyrics are simple yet there is a real story and a feeling of pain and hurt. A disco, dance beat drives me to the wildest dance and I love the horns that make this a rare stand alone track. I can hear it every day and yet still marvel in its composition as a master piece of strings, clip clop percussion and soaring but understated vocals. It is a far removed from The Snake or do I love you blah de bleedin blah, its never gonna be found in the divies box but I tell ya that I love this record. View the full item

  23. Things now starting to show up for the talked about forthcoming Northern Soul Film entitled "Northern Soul" with the appearance of an interview on youtube involving two of the actors Directed by Elaine Constantine web sources say that filming is planned to start shooting this summer/autumn. Already the way it has been presented online does show that it's taking a different path than other recent similar projects, it could be said they are doing things in a way which owes more to traditional northern soul values rather than more recent ones A few word clips below on the film, more can be read via the films website. "In Summer 2010 Elaine will be returning to the North to direct 'Northern Soul', the project she has always dreamt about. Born in Bury, Lancashire, the youngest of a large Catholic family, Elaine grew up listening and dancing to Northern Soul. From hearing her elder siblings' record collections to her first youth club experience, Northern Soul was the soundtrack to her adolescence. It is her obsession with youth culture and a life-long passion for 60's American, independent soul music that inspired Elaine to work towards making her first full length feature film. Some ten years in the making, it aims to be an authentic portrayal of a quintessential northern soul experience." "Elaine has been working with Northern Soul veterans Butch and Ady Croasdell along with recruiting promising young dancers from the North West, the Midlands and the South of England to represent the true essence, energy and passion of the scene, which was a hugely influential and exciting time for youth culture and Soul music in Britain." Northern Soul Video Clip Exclusive interview footage of actors Elliot James Langridge and Sam Benjamin on the set of Elaine Constantine's new film about Northern Soul talking fashion, all nighters and mastering Northern Soul moves. website http://www.northernsoulthefilm.com/
