Eh? Aren't there only 4 copies out there at the mo? Maybe you should get the DJ to turn it over & play the other side

Or maybe you just can't remember how much it actually meant to you Little bit off topic, but I told my grand-son (who is 7) at the week-end that I couldn't ever remember making a mistake. After some deliberation he stated, 'thats the problem when you get old pop....you can't remember anything'

I will personally arrange for them to be sewn onto your chest.

You frigging liar. Just back from meet with Chris & Moldie, who have advised me of your little wind up. You did have me going though

Its a fair cop......

There is/was a diner in Brighton selling 'proper' soul food. Was featured on TV (last year) with Gordon Ramsey doing some sort of make over. Any one know if its still there?

All badges now gone. Will post out tomorrow. Pleased to see every one took it as just a bit of fun. May do another one in a couple of months time featuring pic of Wigan, a JCB, Bob the Builder & text around outside saying Wigan Casino.....Its a Car Park Now.......Get Over It. (Will of course reserve one for Gavin Page)

Printed them on a new digital machine that we've got at work. They are supposed to be wash fast, but frankly you'd have to be a bit of a nutter to put one in the washing machine.......

Following on from the soul patches thread, I've produced a very limited edition modern soul patch. I gave out a few at the Farnborough soul night, and most people thought they were fairly amusing, which is the point. All you've got to do to own one is PM me your address & promise to put a couple of quid in the next decent charity collection box you pass. Although that bloke selling the Big issue doesn't count as a charity.

Hi Paul Do you have any more info on label ie whos behind it, any earlier releases etc? Thanks Col.

Sorry what was that again?

Om the subject of Arthur Fenn, be nice if somebody offered him a residency. Last spoke to him about a year ago & the only residency he had was in Europe!

Regret to say not heard of the last 2 DJs on your list. Personally don't travel much myself these days. Tho' some one like Arthur Fenn gets me off my butt....as I'm more into Across The Board.

It wasn't working last night either.

Rupert Murdoch bought My Space a couple of years ago & he admits to being concerned about the amount of people joining Face Book.

Here is my take on it....... Nicole Willis track def has an under produced sound to it. Most Levine tracks sound over produced. Sometimes, less is more.

I remember hearing him speaking in an amusing way about northern, along the lines of...all the records sounded like they were made by 3 black guys stuck in a toilet. Sounded quite funny at the time.

My refusal to consider racism is based on pesonal experience. From my locality it was a 5 hour coach trip up north & I sometimes sat next to a young lady who was black and lived with the guy who organised the coach trips. They are still together & I still see them occassionaly. If there was even the slightest bit of racism during the night I am sure that we would all have been aware of it. Instead of casting aspertions in a style akin to McCarthyism, why don't you pick up the the phone to Jazzy B & find out what actually went on? I'm sure he can't be that difficult to track down. You also try Lenny Henry because I know he also went. Come back with some facts. I'm sure you'd enjoy a moral crusade, but frankly you are just going to make yourself look ridiculous.

My opinion is that it doesn't really matter.

Shame that one. I saw her on stage mid 80s at some w/ender in SW England.......and she was awesome.

Thanks for reply. Appreciate your thoughts are earnest, but still can't find myself close to agreeing with you. Assuming that of course Jazzy B did actually make it to the Casino (theres no proof, ancecdotal or otherwise) maybe there were other reasons why people didn't like him? Let me float this one past you......maybe it was because he was a southerner. At the time there was a massive South/North divide.....perceived Have/Have Not. Northern soul to me is a primarily celebration of black music & to a lesser extent black culture. I refuse to wrestle with my conscience if just one person couldn't get there head around it.

The bloke is either confused, economical with the truth or possibly both. Just listened to to the documentary again. "Northern soul , there ain't a black person there"............thats not true. "I remember trying to go up north & be involved in these parties, you just weren't welcome"........whats he really talking about? When have you ever heard a northern soul do called party? You can't please every body all the time. Nor can you rely on one persons opinion to to be a truthful recollection. Here is something that you may wish to analyse........The BBC could have interviewed 2000 people who did go to Wigan, but they chose the one person who probably didn't go. Why would they do that?
