Read your response Sooty cheers still dont get why you advocate and encourage exposure to the wider world the vast majority of Northern Soul fans dont want it . We are patently aware that it is out there and hate it and all the tat and shite that goes with it . There are so many threads at the moment about the discontent on the scene so much of that discontent has been caused by over exposure . We have always had politics/rivalry mostly good natured but this is taking a different path . If you want to save the scene then I suggest that you tell your media freinds cutting edge people (whatever they are !) to fook off we dont want or need them we never have . 10/10 for Shirley and Jessie though old Mecca play .

I may have missshaped the scene

Sooty why on earth would you invite music industry folk or cutting edge people as you call them they dont need educating they dont get it they never have and never will FFS

No circle skirts for me I do have my dignity I,ll have you know

Here is a rather charming picture of a donkey

After witnessing handbaggers doing their stuff a couple of weeks ago falling about and dancing like twats treating the venue like they would anywhere on a saturday night out I think the advice to choose venues wisely is apt . I would be happy to see midweek events that maybe wouldnt attract the divies . For me its about the music and I,m not remotely interested in new blood

Crackin that Dave I loved the whole not being able to view it at the sellers home bit .

nnnnnnnn n no it cant be can it ?

Absolute class love this lot cheers Chalky

I dont mind it being unwelcoming makes it feel more homely . My Mrs isnt into it so I normally go out on my own usually find someone to yap to all in all its still fairly freindly .

Never been yet but Lifeline looks pretty damm close to what I,m looking for

This statement should be pinned . Spot on Chalky

Right you have Fats Domino singing It keeps raining and Idris Muhammed,s Could heaven ever be like this ? and tons of stuff in between its indefineable

He,s spent the summer in a static caravan on the Fylde coast with Ian Levine they had some issues to work out

I,ve decided that I hate northern soul now and am currently listening to Erykah Badu and very nice it is to

Dont be daft we,ve had 14 pages over a half hour show

To all the evangelical soulies that say "we need new blood ", "If the scene is to move forward ", "Spread the faith dont keep it " "That culture show should have been a hour long ", Cant wait for the film " Bugger off Be carefull what you wish for folks

you never lose it do ya

What makes a weekender a hit is me not being there moaning

If you are middle aged and missed it first time around tough titty you didnt have it then what makes you think you,re going to have it now .

I think the producers would struggle to capture correctly the exitement of chin stroking
