Last year Wanda Jackson huge let down , the year before Martha Reeves unfortunate performance lets just hope third time lucky eh .

Chris Evans by now will have forgot he even played the song and so will 99% of his listeners , life goes on .

Saw the Live version at the Octagon it was insipid and pointless . Northern soul meets Mama Mia .

Rita and the Tiaras - Gone with the wind . cant get this out of my head at the moment .

This play is the best representation ever of our scene , made with passion , love and humour and it shows in every scene . The first night at the Contact was electric . The second time I saw it also at the Contact I took my daughter on leaving she said " Now I understand you better " Thanks Paul

The only subway in Stockport is a butty shop .

Would you like to recreate your youth at one of our fantastic Northern soul themed weekend breaks brought to you by SAGA . Limited places on the Okey Cokey Christmas special , Book early . Free sulphate ( Glucosemine ) to the first 50 bookings

Went out last night no hokey cokey so no injuries

For me its always meant good quality soul music that for some reason doesnt quite fit the Northern soul template but isnt pop either if that makes sense

Sod it , its the weekend I,m of to the Rat Pit on saturday if I see anybody Okey Cokeying I will chin em .

So do I put my left leg in first or not its very complicated I hope to f*ck thats not what its all about .

I dont think that a cap on advertising on SS would make that much of an impact on the wider soul scene . we dont have that much influence do we ?

I recall a young lad from Stoke who nicked his dads moped he ditched it partway to Wigan and ran the rest of the way ..........................................!!!!!

This is a great question and allways puzzled me as to who this music was aimed at and if it was played out alongside music of a similar style tempo etc and how people danced to it . It may be a British peculiarity that we put such a high value culturaly on something the Americans can so easily dispose of .

Been trying to catch up with all the Stafford stuff for a while these podcasts are fantastic I never realised just how diverse the playlists were some amazing tunes . Thanks for posting these up

I thought we were discussing IL,s creative output not how many hot dinners Ive had The records he discovered would have been discovered by someone at sometime and got plays anyway , I cant take away his and Colins input as dejays , but IL,s attempts to ape the great production/writing heroes of the scene fall well short of the mark in my opinion .

:lol:

Poorly rehashing a few established Northern soul tracks and writing and producing insipid soul effect muzak hardly makes him worthy of discussion on here especially given his nobbish behavior last time around .

Where the boys are - Connie Francis never played it dont know where it came from just keep moving it about

Posthumously Martyn Ellis still makes me smile
