My beef......... Show me one credible media driven attempt to capture an honest view of the Northern soul scene you will be hard pushed to find one . Oh there you go dancers on the Duffy vid , Soulboy . Paul O, Grady , Trevor Nelson and not forgeting Jazzy B

Youth sub culture , where ? tell him to piss off Right thats me done back underground

Not to keen he isnt doing anything that hasnt been done before and better , Cant take the guy seriosley with his comedy teeth

Unwanted Love the Montclairs dont know if it was a single just brilliant though .

Del Larks Job opening thirty years on it still does it what an intro

We have lost a lot from Stocky over the years , Chris Trafford , Mick Sales , Phil Mc Kinney , Ste Littlewood Joey Burns and Sean Gibbons

Tim O Keefe , Paul Bosher & Alan Polly Pollard Rip lads

Not sure how to post links but if you look on the Wheel website there are lists and label scans of played tunes , many of the disputed tunes are on these lists . Quite suprised really a lot of stuff I thought were Torch or Casino discoveries turn up , must have been brilliant hearing them for the first time .

Carleen Anderson just has it superb and the Golden Gate Quartet brilliant loved it

Party - Van McCoy , Dr Buzzards and some Salsoul Orchestra shite oh yeah and Footsie I only bought it for the B side Seven Days took a compass to Footsie still got them all and despite the damage Footsie still plays . Built to last in them days . Jeeez just admited to playing Footsie ........................................NEEE NAH NEEE NAH

loved this thank you

Nowt wrong with remembering the old place or reminicing about old freinds . The Casino had a huge impact and still does at present there are ten threads running about the Casino in AOY that says something about its impact on the scene . Its worth celebrating allong with the Torch, Cats , VaVa,s , Samanthas etc infact anywhere that dared to be different from the mainstream dross we were being fed . Timi Yuro summed it up so well Mark

Well said , at last sense and not sentiment

You big bunch of southern softies its just a building get over it .The events will move to somewhere bigger and better god will still be in his heaven and all will be well with the world Get a grip

Fantastic if that doesnt make your spine tingle you must be dead

Still got the Creative Source single Dont be afraid to take my love it was given out to promote the single .

A great tune if you like garage have a listen to the version by the Fall .

And the winner of the dance like yer Dad contest ...........................................................................................................is................................................... Is there a Northern soul equivalent to get a f"cking room ?

OUATIW was for me an exellent albeit lighthearted interpretation of that time in my life I saw it at the contact and loved it . The Octagon version didnt make it and fell well short of the mark as I suspect Soulboy and other attempts to will . I have never seen a decent documentary , the Trevor nelson thing was cringeworthy and this England just said its grim up north and had a folk music as background ffs . But Dave your right of course its all Pauls fault Stone him :D

I think people only jumped from the balcony when the lift wasnt working .

Northern Soul is part of the scooter scene albeit lowest common denominator stuff , scooters are not part of the NS scene . I enjoy both scenes if I want to hear great NS I will go to a dedicated soul do ,if I want a weekend away and a laugh with mates then its off on my scoot . Not wishing to generalise but many scooterists seem to like a variety of genre,s including NS and dont have the hang ups we have about labels and originality etc . Northen is just part of the wider term scooterist music .

Christopher Eccleston says its brilliant so it must be

Brilliant record atmospheric and ticks all the right boxes . Simple solution to inane posts dont read them .
