hopefully it will be back in March next year. I really hope so as it's THE event that I came to 3 years ago that really got me fired up and back into the scene after too long away. Big thanks to John and the gang for relighting my fire and if Prestatyn don't want us I'm sure we'll find someplace that does KTF Martyn

Amazing what debate a 5 minute One Show slot can generate, I've really enjoyed this thread. For the TV article, I can't say I was really too fussed about the article tbh, I know what the music and the scene means to me and I've gone long passed caring what the media put out. While we are still debating it 5 days later I bet most of the viewers had forgotten about it entirley by the time Corrie came on. Seems Northern Soul and the media have always been uneasy bedfellows at the best of times. However if it has encouraged a few more "new souls" to dig a bit deeper and find out a bit more about the music and take a journey with some of us more established (older) soulies then that can only be good thing. At the end of the day who didn't start their early northern journey with a bit of a commercial step in?. I certainly had my fair share of Casino Classics back in the day and I'm still a bit partial to Jackie Trent, Whatever the merits of her authenticity surely you can't argue the gals got a great pair of lungs and her rendition of "You Baby" is as good as anything you'll hear irrespective of it being classed as northern or otherwise ktf Martyn
