hey chris sorry you cant make it over. but thanks in advance for the membership cards. i dunno why it's red lemonade. it's always been that way. do you know why it's red? now i am gonna be wondering about that all day....

i think ya can 'export' northern soul successfully. that seems like a daft question to me. motown was hardly thinking their sound was too 'detroit' for anywhere else. good sounds always get around.

hi del do you mean backflips?? they are kinda tough & pretty dangerous. ya need to learn that stuff when you're a kid. do you do any kinda sport stuff? cuz if not you'll end up breaking yourself in 2. can you do a bridge (the gymnastic move that's also used in yoga i believe). you gotta be able to do a bridge from standing position. that's the start of a backflip. breakdancing & n soul are pretty similar. if you're an ex b-boy then you'll know when the break is on the way. n soul is the same - you can feel it when the break is coming. but the break is usually a good deal shorter than anything Herc or Flash woulda spun back in the day. so just tighten up what you've got & you'll be king of the dance floor!

ps Mike Admin can you please ask Steve Thomas if he needs rashers, sausages & red lemonade for the kids.& if he needs pudding. yes that sounds crazy. but please ask him. it's not some secret code!!!!!! see ya saturday/sunday thanks wendy

hey all - please come over and visit!!! yep - it's on this weekend. C.W. is on sunday. there's messing on saturday too so you can make a weekend of it. starting on saturday at 6pm in Carnvial Bar on Wexford Street. that's a warm up from 6pm - 9pm. then after that it's about a 15 minute walk to The Gingerman for Sleepless Nights - which will be on till 2am-ish. Danny can probably confirm the finishing time a bit more accurately. then sunday's the all-dayer. anyone that's considering it - come on! what else are you gonna do for the weekend? if anyone needs info or help or directions etc then send me a pm & i will do my best to direct ya little stevie - you are super extra welcome & you can stay as long as you like with me n lee!

hahaha. there was a book out about 4 or 5 years ago with a similar theme! I cant remember what it was called but it was a black cover with a drawing of a scooter on it. Each chapter was named after a well known northern tune. It managed to be racist, sexist, classist, homophobic...and just utterly utterly awful. and it has a rape at the end too! coincidence?? all i can say is it was the worst birthday present ever. I'm so pleased I cant remember the name of it.... r.e. TV etc - there was some Irish soap thing last year which included a character that was a northern soul dj. I didnt watch it. maybe honest john or paulie can give you the details??

dave - thanks a million! i got this record in the post yesterday & now i am the happiest girl ever!

https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...me=STRK:MESE:IT and if you like funk please check my other auctions for cheap lps. please! i need the cash for the wigan anniversary! yeah - i aint too proud to beg

can anyone tell me which version is better - the lp or 12" version? thanks wendy

thanks In Town Mikey & Sebastian! i guess i owe you both a pint

would anyone have a Sansu discography? i am super curious about this label - it seems most of the tunes on that label rule! thanks

what?! a £150 record for £500? that's a crap deal!

i missed the end of the manship auction - what did the curly moore record go for? thanks

what are castors? should i attach jimmy castor to my shoes

haha. at sleepless nights in dublin we danced on a sloping dance floor for a good few months. there were splinters in the floor too. the dance area was quite small so you'd have about 40 people rammed into the space the size of a cupboard. it was always a laugh when new people came along and would be horrified when someone would throw a kick just past their head or backdrop onto their feet. thakfully no one got hurt. another great floor - about 3 years ago some of us went to llandudno for a drunken monkey all-nighter. it was on in a hotel on the seafront? i'd never encountered a slippy/polished floor before that - i fell over when i tried to spin. wales rules. worst floor ever HAS to be the renaissance room in Prestatyn this year. dancing on oversized ping pong tables? that's not right.

not that you asked but... i think this is a great idea. i went to soul nights for months & months before i got the courage to dance. it's really frightening cuz everyone seems to know what they are doing. and trickster is a deadly dancer, he's carrying on the tradition, so why knock that? if it gets a few more people into the 'scene' & makes 'em happy then it's good. me and my mates have spent the last few years throwing ourselves about trying to figure out some of the more complicated moves. if only we had someone like trickster to show us what to do we wouldnta ended up so battered n bruised
