She is from the States, but she's probably as clueless about John Barrowman as I am.

Lorraine, I haven't a clue who you are talking about, but you've put enough time and effort into music, and brought enjoyment into so many lives, to be able to like what you want and say to hell with those that don't like it. Go girl ! Drool all you want !!

Yes but they are a couple of idiots The fact that I'm engaged to one, and the other is my best mate has no bearing on the matter though.

Thanks guys, I still haven't found it though. I have a feeling that the clip on youtube isn't taken from the film, for one thing it doesn't look like it's in a church. Dundee Museums have a reference to it on their sirte, but no actual footage The Becks Futures Award lists Matt Stokes as the 2006 winner, but I believe the awards have been discontinued now, so they don't have their own website anymore. Thanks for the offer of an email Phil, but I'd guess it would be too large a file, and I'm not that desperate to see it if it means you have to go searching on an old laptop for it.

This was a film that won a prize for Matt Stokes, the director. However, I don't think I've ever seen it. Can anyone point me in the direction of a copy via a link ? Thanks

It was a Jamaican Sound System thing originally I believe.

I would have loved to have been in the studio when Bobby Bland recorded the 'Two Steps From The Blues' album. Oooh that voice, those horns, I've over all a quiver !

Temptations 'I wish it would rain'

Will undoubtedly be on sale somewhere soon.

A sense of formality....it wasn't a tea dance you know I know this seems trivial, but it always was a 'scene' and never was refered to as a 'movement', so to do so now is just wrong. As was most of the programme last night. I know that there were a lot of all nighter regulars on the programme, but I just got the feeling that they were being trotted out to do their party trick for the cameras....."here's spinning Sammy....go on Sammy, do a spin for us" And Sammy happily obliges. (And yes, I do know him, and yes he is still a much better dancer than I could ever have hoped to be). I guess it's all a matter of how you view your personal dignity. I would never appear on a show like that, because I don't want to, and it doesn't portray my weekend lifestyle as it really is, and made no attempt to. There again, some people think the things that happen on Corrie are real !

Fortunately Russ, I can also use the OED Scene: e. slang (orig. U.S. Jazz slang and Beatniks' slang). A place where people of common interests meet or where a particular activity is carried on. Hence, more loosely, an activity or pursuit (esp. a fashionable or superior one); a situation, event, or experience; a way of life. Much more of an accurate description I feel.

It never was, never has been, and never will be a 'Movement'. That's what I have when i go for a s*it in a morning !

122 users reading the thread right now LOL

I couldn't resist this one.....The Golden Torch ! Boom boom !!!!

What's that ? Having a shit in a mine ? You can be part of a 'movement' if you want to be, but I never was, and never will be part of the 'Northern Soul Movement'

Probably my biggest complaint about Prestatyn is that the stalls weren't open long enough. What I mean is as soon as The Impressions had been on, all the clothes stalls etc packed up and went to bed. It was like being in one of those indoor markets where everything is closed !

So you don't feel all alone, and despised by other members, I'll happily admit I bought Jessica a brand new sheepskin coat at Prestatyn. It cost me a quarter of what it would have cost me in a shop, and I'd promised her one for her Birthday, so I'll admit to buying stuff 'in the bazaar' as such. However, I don't want, or need, any items of crockery, or anything else really that have a clenched fist on them. So I just don't buy them. Some people obviously do need to be able to dress their babies up in Northern Soul bibs, so I let them. It's fairly obvious that if people didn't want this stuff, nobody would buy it, so nobody would sell it. Hence, there must be a demand.

In fairness the bit he was involved in was all very good, it was the actual manufacturing by Universal that was crap

And his 7" Motown Singles Box, yes, that was quality

It's the '6Ts Rhythm N Soul Club: In the beginning' CD, and yes it's on Kent https://www.amazon.co.uk/6ts-Rhythm-Soul-Society-Beginning/dp/B00074Q6JS/ref=pd_sim_m_h__9?ie=UTF8&refRID=0TV0SF71PFFPRXG7DJFM

Chalky, your Auntie has been in touch and said where were you last night, it was brilliant down the pub. SS is quite literally the source for me, I always check here first when I need to know something. I also use FB, but in a totally different way. So the two can peacefully co-exist quite happily in my interweb adventures !

Ian, read your PMs and let me have an address

Yeah but you can have competitions to see who can find the most horrendous piece of tat. It's always worth just going looking for the laugh factor.

Ian, I've emailed you the Ty Hunter WAV file.
