I agree entirely with this; what we have is a dance scene that is predominantly based around what is often referred to as soul music but the huge number of clearly no soul sounds that have been played and more importantly, danced to, show how the dance element is the key. Long may it continue as a dance scene, even if the trips to the dance floor get less frequent and there is more going on in my head than in my feet as I get older. Steve

Is it just coincidence that these are nearly all tunes that were played and popular in the mid to late 70's ? Clapping in the right place can make a live sound and clapping in the wrong place, intentionally or otherwise, can be amusing with friends in the know.

Looking through the records that have been mentioned is a proper trip down memory lane and a reminder of what got me interested in the first place even if tastes and preferences have moved on since then. For me the first to really stick was Deana Barnes - If You Ever Walk Out Of My Life. I have been stuck as a fan of girlie dancers ever since. Steve

Hi Martyn I thought that you had explained to Lynn that the B sides are hers and that she can only play the A sides with special permission. regardless of that it looks to me as if you should be taking that list with you next time you are allowed out to play as it is as good a set as many, specially like the girlie dancers!!

Martyn When all is said and done, there is normally more said than done! Who is the "70" you are feeling and does Lynn know? See you Friday

Martyn Are these your black trainers or your more special brown ones? I know that you have only ever had one pair of trainers. Steve

I just want to point out that the East Hull set has a membership of more than one and that it was running 11 days before you joined it!! TTFN Steve

This is a real shame as I know that this was the venue that reignited my interest in new music over 10 years ago. I know that I have never been a regular attendee but that does not change the feeling of sadness at the passing of something that was special enough at the time to make me want to come back to something that has been really good to me over the years.
