We've got a white kettle now, we used to have a chrome one, but it was a bugger of a job to keep cleaning all the fingermarks off it.
The point I was trying to make (Obviously badly) with regards to R & B and Northern Soul rooms, is that the two are far more akin in style and era than trying to play House music in Northern rooms. I never play a full R & B spot unless I'm in an R & B room, but personally feel that there is scope in any Northern Soul room to play some R & B, and the occasional instrumental.
Anyway, stop picking on me, or I'll sulk
