    YES , winning is success losing is failure especially against 2 sides who 1 was inferior to our team Italy and Spain were probably equal. His defensive mentality cost us the chance of success.
  2. Shinehead
    If success means not winning anything that is true after all reaching 2 finals and a semi is a success of sorts

    About the only decent decision he has made this summer.

    If Man. United can beat Man City in the F.A Cup final I am sure England can pull an upset off against Spain.

    Unfortunately the greats who have hit paydirt do not get the accolades on here as much as the relative unknowns which is natural on a site about rare soul. Great to hear some of the tracks again though If we do the queen's it's a tough one for me to decide on one.

    England had no cohesion the players looked drained of energy and tactically inept.

    Only watched one full game so far the England match, as usual we flatter to deceive, a good opening spell a well taken goal and then nothing of note, second half good job they lacked any punch near goal after good build up play and if it wasn't for a great save from Pickford the papers would have slaughtered us this morning. I suppose we will grow into the tournament .

    Pickford Walker Stones Dunk Trippier Rice Saka Foden Bellingham Gordon Kane Let's have a go and throw off the shackles.

    It is obvious as we get older the need to go out diminishes too much of a chore after a week at work or in my case endless appointments at the docs etc. But I am now happy to get the uptempo music out and play it at home at the weekend with a few cans and in the week I tend to play the more slower stuff and lps etc. Whatever happens to the scene the music is there for as long as we want it. And I am eternally grateful for that.

    Any updates on Elsie on her joining in this discussion especially about her claims singing on multiple records by the likes of the Manhattans, Spinners etc. Be interesting to hear from her.

    That is how it should be I am surprised young kids want to listen to music made 50 years or more ago however great it is but it's their choice and if they break away from the older people on the scene "more power to em" I find it strange to see young kids at Soul events with people in their sixties, if the kids are the future of northern as they should be events that attract that age bracket is the future.

    Seems to me all the diehards can do is enjoy the music and the scene which still exists for the true devotees and cock a deaf un to the explosion of the bandwagon jumpers and all the trash what goes with it. Still some great music been issued by companies, unreleased or reissues to satisfy most of us and some select venues still with the ethos of the scene.
  19. Shinehead
    Nothing to do with soul music other than the venue setting and the stereotype dancing.
  20. Shinehead
    No problem.

    Fortunately this site and a few other venues still provide a outlet for people who frequent this site to still enjoy the music and discuss it too. It seems like a matter of letting divs get on with it and holding our heads high and trying not to watch YouTube videos which I find quite hard a bit like not watching the bad things on the news you know it's going to be grim but cannot help it.

    To me the whole point of going out to venues was to listen to records that were played that I could not hear anywhere else and did not own and put together by a forward thinking dj with a ear to the dance floor. Going out to hear music played off a laptop, memory stick is not what northern soul is about, ok for the nightclub knocking music out for the punters on a weekend. I have embraced technology for my home listening but for the soul events vinyl only for me.

    It is dreadful.

    What happened to the music? it just seems about dancing now with the "Johnny come latelys" back in my day the music was the bug and the dancing followed. Most of the newcomers seem to just want to get out on a weekend get pi**ed and dance in the same formulated way. Glad that the music is my passion and still going strong 50+ years later. Good job there is still some events with the original ethos and sites like this where like minded individuals can have discussion.
