Sometimes I wonder..... what's going on !!!!!!!!? No words needed maybe just a little more action!! Be a butterfly spread your wings and maybe a little storm will change the world to a better place!!!! Don't be cocooned from day 2 day life & artificial personal needs !!! Feed your soul with compassion, understanding and respect and let actions speak louder than words!!!! https://youtu.be/Y9KC7uhMY9s well it's my record of the day -
That was just a glitch in your brain mate !!! It was just an image when you were still a baby on a changing table ..... always wondered what happens in peoples brain when they are not on the scene but have dance and smell the talkum powder

and that includes the drum kit ????

What about just copy and past top dj's playlist, show a picture on a screen but don't bother inviting them!!! Ok that would be bootleggin dj's playlist, so what about streaming a random dj actually playing those records at home on original vinyl but listinging miles away at an allnighter or even at home!!!!! Ok that would be almost like radio!!! OK I am lost now. Ahhh f*ck it I'll stick to ovo

Back on topic What I can't understand is the fact that with his experience, contacts und skills, why he never got proper musicians together and produced a solid soul tune. I mean he introduced fantastic tunes to the scene and quite clearly has a very good ear for a good soul tune but the friggin drum mashine does my head in. While his pop & high energy records are quite good the soul ones don't cut the mustard. I hope in the future that he rather produces one or two great tunes with proper musicians with real depth then many ''schlager soul'' tunes out of a tin. Imagine Nat Augustin I found Heaven with a real good backing band and in depth production!!!

Great funky Northern which you can hear @ the Northern Soul Motte Allnighter -
It's sad to hear this and I hope you'll get a few bob in the long run. But what money can't buy is the love, appreciation and joy you gave us with your music and I am sure many many more people from all over the world will cherish your music in years to come !!!! Greetings from Germany

Sorry I don't like his soul productions, they are too thin, too slick and somehow a whole lotta soul is missing in them. If he would have used some proper musicians with real depth, many productions may have sounded much much better. While his high energy productions like Eveelyn Thomas - High Energy are good pop records.

nice uplifting crossover -
What about the top dancers now & then !!!! They certainly deserve it!!!!! I would also love to see someone actually trying to show the various style changes in northern soul dancing from each induvidual period starting from the early/mid 60's up to now before it gets lost in the mist of time!!! Maybe some of the older good dancers can pick their brains a bit and do a little documentary!! C'mon Paul

Most painters got paid bugger all but when I go to a gallery I like to see the real mona lisa. I am all for quality and traditions whether I buy cheese, a car or whatever. Many aspects of life are watered down and everyone feels the effects of it due to globalisation outsourcing and so on. Sometimes it is very very difficult to avoid it .....But I want the friggin real deal!!!! Original records, german cars build in Germany, cheddar cheese from Somerset, a nice glass of bordeaux from Bordeaux, beef & veg from my local area, a member ship owned football club....

The funny thing is that in Europe now it appears that the ultimate aspiration for many people is to play only original records not just at the bigger or medium sized events but also at little pub nights. From a once due to various reasons rather different way of playing soul music in the early 80's up to the naughties, the people appreciate now a rather more authentic way of listening, collecting and dancing to soul. But maybe the general approach and openness to the music and play lists may contribute to that as well as the fact that in art people like to c the real deal at the gallery. In a throwaway society where constant updates, genetically modified fast-food, short term goals in business and politics, shallow media imposed needs, a loss of quality and endurance of so many products as well as the loss of trust in what, how and where something is produced...... maybe a few traditions and a couple of honest values are just good for peoples soul.

Jesus all that hu ha again because bits n bobs ain't right!!!! Sorry, I am not a spring chicken anymore but if some of your old moaning armchair warriors don't like it maybe some kids may even like it like like it like even more!!! Ah result!!! Anyway if you could have Pulb Fiction with a Northern Twist I bet some people will moan about that you guys play mainly snooker in England and therefore the banging scene was wrong ;) Nevertheless I believe it's gonna be great maybe with a few dodgy bits but hey, enjoy the ride or watch a documentary!!!!

Northern Soul - The Film - News, mainstream and more
viphitman commented on Mike's article in News Archives
I am really looking forward to this one but what I am more happy about is that dance club thingy ....now running for almost 2 years!!!!! The youngster are slowly being infected by the soul virus in one of it's more serious conditions which manifest itself by great dancing and becoming one with the tune being played !!!! Some of them are now seriously getting in danger of getting completely hooked as they have been seen around more then once at the odd soul club!!!! Somebody please tell them now there is no cure!!!!! -

There are bits & bobs connected with Northern Soul as in real life that one can do without!!! But for me Northern Soul incorporates many many positive things. After all it describes it more or less with just two words what it is all about. Great people, fantastic & unique dancing, the travelling, the passion, the collecting, the support for the original artist, the friendship and foremost great music. Mind you I believe Northern Soul in the real world always consisted of some funky tunes, beat ballads, crossover, stompers, oldies, underplayed, rare bla bla bla. The mix is important and from time to time it will shift from one side to the other. Northern Soul should not only be just a term largely associated with revivalist nights, playing tried and tested favourites!!!! For me it includes lifeline and many other upfront nights!!! But hey, people were arguing about it in the UK since the early days but soon your scene is going to get smaller and only a hardcore crowd of open-minded people will remain next to some youngsters. Then Northern Soul with its many styles will probably go back like it did in the eighties were you could hear obscure monsters next to some oldies at just a few nights around the country. The same old same old will lose its appeal in the long run by the law of boredom even to the close-minded brigade!!!! The good thing is, people started to use more and more the term Oldies and Motown Nights rather than Northern Soul, which is great because a proper Northern Soul All-nighter should mix it up in styles and contend!!!! Keep the face
