Cheers all for passing on thoughts, idea of it being a sort of catch your eye in passing thing, usually use it as a"mmmm wonder whats that going for" meself always a hard call balancing the content with speed on the front page, way look at it is news/articles, forum posts , event guide are essential parts, rest of stuff flexiable and up for changes, anyway as said ta for comments, as always feel free to add if interested, current stuff going on is next week or so should hopefully resort in the final sort out on content side, spare time allowing, engine seems to work ok now, just stuff like comments etc to tie in

just split this topic from Athens Rougues one to avoid confusion was a question about the ebay headlines on front page, but cause of work going on feel free to expand it wider if want

out of interest - the ebay "over 100 list thing on front page" worthwhile/interesting thing ? uses a bit of space and slows front page down a bit worth it?

Just thought Id let everyone know who hasnt heard of or didnt go to the 1st event last month (June 12th). Opening night we had 300+ people. Thats pretty good by any standards, and we are looking to build on it. The club has a 1000+ plus capacity a... Tap to view this Soul Source News/Article in full

steady there.... but would/did say slight difference smile on your face music ...to me:)

A pass on from email from Chris Anderton Hi All, Well, Just back from Cleethorpes and i`m sure you`ll all agree this weekend was up to its usual high standard.It was great to meet some of you and put a face to a name at last! I`ve just got back from the US and have found some new stock for my lists. Anyone who thinks that stuff is just lying around in record stores better think again, we`re digging deeper everytime we go but fortunatly still coming up with the goods, this 11 day trip saw us driving 4500 miles from Boston to North Carolina, Chicago, Detroit and Pitsburgh and just about everywhere in between! The very popular Sales CD will be done by subscription in the future and will start from the next list, list 11. Many of you have commented on how useful the Cds have been for getting to hear and buy new tunes you have`nt heard before. I`ve tried to keep the cost of the Cds to a minimum, just to cover my costs, each CD will feature at least 50 tracks from the list (marked ***)and at just £5 for 3 Cds I make that around 3p per record! In future the Cds will be mailed out just before the list is posted, giving CD subscribers first choice of any tracks featured on the CD.If you want this lists Cd the cost will be £1.50 to the usual address.I`m also looking to source a quantity of blank Cds so I can produce the Cds even cheaper, the saving will of course be passed on to you. Please mail me for any further info on the CDs. Gig-wise, Dont forget the ever excellent Modern sessions at the Bass Museum, the next one is billed as the Mid-summer ball and takes place on Saturday July 3rd from 4pm til 12.00. I`ll be spinning at the West End Club in Wolverhampton on Friday July 16th and also at 2 events in Hamburg, Germany on the weekend of June 25th, really looking forward to that one, just hope we dont get them in the Euro championships whilst I`m out there! Just a word on grading, I always try to grade every record as fairly as possible so if you are unsatisfied with any record for any reason please return it for a full refund, its impossible to play every record I get in but you must be 100% satisfied with any record you buy. Please reserve all records by email first to chris.soul@btinternet.com , if you have to phone me please feel free to do so but I do have a "proper" job and it may take some time to get back to you. Just a reminder that when you send for a record please include the details of which records you have ordered and your full mailing address.

defintely holy grail class this one to me if had to name one 45 that summed up all the good things bout northern this would be it always try and catch David Flynn and Keith Money to get a fix of this great 45 Keith M gave out a 1 min history spiel on background before playing it in lounge at last Rhyl conniseurs 9 days to go ... mmmmm

David Flynn gave Tony Daniels 45 a review in 99 Shades of Soul can read at https://capitolsoulclub.homestead.com/DiscReviewsSOS29.html someone was asking me about wendell watts other ref-o-ree 45 "Kiss A Good Thing Goodbye" recently, which gets a mention under "you girl" on same page, current value ?

Here we go, always seems a good idea at first to bash out a few words, and then later on, especially after reading what you have wrote it doesn't seem that good idea. Still as main aim of this is to pass on thanks to many, (and also act as a reminder for me to never go with out accommodation jacked up) thought throw it up anyway Make of it what ever you want Cleethorpes had always been a enigma sort of thing to me, which has a sort of meaning along the lines of never been to that far flung part of the world, in 70s when it was at its peak, as on other side of world it was out of reach for us youngsters and since moving back to uk as usually means having to book a year ahead always a bit of a "never got round to it). Any way when annouced a few weekend passes avail, and a bit of arse kicking from Nick g managed to get one sorted ... just and thinking was could get away with doing it off the cuff. A 4 hour drive, Nick g was knocking around the door when showed up. (When realising 5 mins away that no accommodation may be a bit of a problem, my "on my toes" plan was to convince Nick that I was technically his guest so he was morally responsible for my health and welfare for weekend, this failed as the essential keystone of the plan was to first get his chalet number, which no matter what I tried I couldn't get it out of him...seasoned vetarn or what:)) Two o clock ish got there, first impression place seemed packed with a good buzz going. Main hall seemed going well, Dave Rimmers and Keith Money early morning spots sounded good to my ears. Upstairs managed to catch parts of David Flynns set which got off to a busy floor reaction and also later That Girl Lynnes set which seemed to be going well. Modern room seemed to be good one. Have given up trying to make comments on modern rooms, as with so many regional differences on just what is modern nowadays think leave it to someone better qualified to comment. So apart from it was kicking, full and people enjoying themselves will say nought Bit suprised at the 6am finish, by now there was a fair few of us homeless refugees mulling around, though had left the dogs on string and bundesweir parkas behind. Suprisingly we all knew each other:) Decided to do early morning tour of streets of cleethorpes, managed to find a car boot sale after sight seeing in Grimsby Funny enough while walking into boot fair first thing we saw was, Backdoor Kenny walking out with a couple of lps under his arm, funny thing was if anyone else would have had a bit of banter aimed at him, but as it was Kenny it just seemed a normal occurance to see him walking out of a car boot around 7am Got back to the camp and we got invited into caravan, have to take time to say, many thanks to Graham and Liz Foster for their hospitality, actions above and beyond the call of duty be a good term to describe how they looked after us, many thanks owed to them and the rest of the chalet occupants, so good was their hosting that missed most of sat afternoon sessions. Sat nite approached and of course the highlight had to be live apperance of Diplomats, looking forward to this as always enjoyed the soul with a attitude feel of "honest to goodness" and of course later skullsnaps efforts. Enjoyed the live show, dressed in suits with black cloaks which at a guess is something to do with how diplomats dressed, they come on and dished out a great live act, was great to hear "perfect love" "honest to goodness" then a quick off stage and get back on and into I'm Your pimp - never in wildest excesses of youth did I think that in the 21st century be hearing the skullsnaps delivering that chant live , My hang up is you of course as well, then a bit of audience partcipation sort of thing, then one they had been holding back - Cards On the Table, encore time, a great semi vocal/instru of honest to goodness showed off the backing bands talent and sound and sounded great, possibly "cards on table" being the finish finale. Back to the djs and the nite cracked on, Pat Brady, Butch, Bob Hinsley, Ginger , Mick Smith, Roger Banks, Carl Willingham all pushed out a fine selection of sounds, think the order had changed from programme for some reason, and memory says Carl Willingham finished the nite with a great set and "Can't get over these memories" being final one, Time for some kip, managed to drag Neil m's chalet number out off him earlier on, so went there to try and blag somewhere to doss, only to find some bemused couple never seen before doing the Sunday morning papers on the lawn thing, who had never heard of him or regonised my description! Leaving a very confused couple behind my alt plan kicked in, didnt work that well, sleeping in a car on hottest day of year on the prom for some reason didnt quite come off. Sunday afternoon, normal weekend plan , a quick goodbye and drive home, normal occurance - one beer, two beer, sack plan and end up staying nite followed by having to send 22 letters of apology for behaviour the next day, well almost due to form, apart from glad to say that no need for any apoligies.. I think. Afternoon had likes of Kennys Car Boot special spot, Jody, That girl Lynne and Yann Vatiste doing enjoyable main room spots before the quiz. The quiz kicked in and seemed like was enjoyed by many teams, had a look at q's and it was a testing one, winners were annouced... Janine, Chalkie and Jessica on roll of honour as winners! .Afternoon seemed extremely busy, though by now was hitting melt down myself, and time to mention yet more big thanks, this time to Janine and Chalky who rescued me with offer of a shower, bed for nite and food. This was a lifesaver and led on to a great Sunday nite. The football was funny! The sunday nite was most enjoyable, and went on to a late finish, stuff such as djs humilitaion contest went on involving running spinning, drinking falling over and so on. mmmm sounds familar. Nite finished with a visit to chalet where yet again hosted to excess. Thanks to all involved! Managed at long last to finally be able to lie down horizontally for first time in a few days around 430 monday morning, many thanks to Janine and Chalkie again Sounds wise - not a lot to report as somehow was hearing other versions that didnt make sense, convinced heard another version of vips, then another vocal to alone with no love, another version of a Larry Williams okeh flip, but as was even getting ones I got at home wrong, put it all down to the fatigue. Record room seemed very busy Sunday, my low key atempts to offload certain lps all failed. Main sound that stuck in my head from this weekend was Soul inc's Teardrops Lots of catch ups meet ups and sort outs and so on, great to see some havent bumped into for a fair while, and as always now have a fairly lengthy list of things to do, so if waiting... will all get sorted soonest end of game view Well I said was most enjoyable and thats what it was, hats off to all involved in every way, fact that was so enjoyable despite my own lack of planning just shows how good it was...if know what i mean

A good review of the film by Pete Smith was published on here back around 1997

Just back in from a great weekend at sunny cleethorpes...thanks go to all involved in putting it on, more on this and other news when head gets back together Heard Lowton on Friday was a good one, from main room muckers gave a big thumbs up to Bob Hinsley and Alex Jones spots, anyone else there or in other rooms? Event guide says was another busy weekend, someone once said a good review is worth 100 flyers So if out and about this weekend do us a favour let us know how ii went for you
