'The Wellingborough Soul Club' Dear Soulies, Well the Northern Soul Bubble hasn't burst yet, but I think you'll agree most soul nights are suffering in attendance due to the shear amount of choice these days. Why do so many people want to promote... Tap to view this Soul Source News/Article in full

I thought there would be loads of posts about this...But I think most people are speachless. Far too many cliche's etc. Yes defo a huge dent in the changing world of 'Northern Soul' Best of luck for the future of 6t's Rythm and Soul Ady, Len.

OK! Sorry about that statement. I'm with you on the 'O.V.O' policy for myself. If others do differently we can moan but it ain't going to stop them. Len.

Fair enough!

Mainly according to many people who have spoken of Brian over the years, they tell me he was a main player in the early days of the Scene. So in a way has 'Done his time' and got nothing to prove. I don't know him personally but see him as one one of the originals...A bit like the queen can eat swan snd we can't! Does that make sense?!!!

Me again Win! The simple answer is ...As respect for the collecting side of the scene and to keep our scene 'Special' Anything can be played Vinyl OR cd as long it is that particular sounds original format. If I liked a track which was only on cd I'd put it on an acitate simply because I find it easier to DJ with records... As long as a soul night 'does what it says on the tin' it can play any format it likes. This way if you are against cd's even at small local events you don't have to go. Here's a question. Do you think Brian Ray is entitled to play cd's? I personally think he is the only exception to the rule... Len.

Good man Jem. Ref 'The great Northern Soul Apprenticeship'....Baz is probably in his second year, I'm hoping to be in the sixth form next year and I recon Gibby will have to come back to do re-takes!!! See you Friday at The Embankment Club. Plug...Plug...Plug...

...as i have already said i can understand Baz and Lenny being p****d, i would be....but sometimes its better just to rise above the situation and not enter into a slagging match....just find the whole thing very negative for the local scene......Jem Didn't bother me Jem...Just surprised me when I heard about it. In fact I feel pity for people without open minds as they are missing out on some great tracks. Len.

Blimey!!! I was just checking if the Embankment had some interest for Friday!!! It's like the fox hunting argument (Oldies v's newies) Just as heated and just as old. Barry Looker actually appologised to me after Gibby's comments on the mike...It was news to me as I was so busy dancing and enjoying the oldies I didn't hear him...(I get the best from both worlds!) In a word, with ref to all this Jem, yes it's about respect and costructive critism. I'd be interested in Gibby's comments if they weren't on the mike. In fact someone tell him he is welcome at The Embankment this Friday and if he fancies coming without the "blinkers" he can come in on the guest list. Ref cd's. Again it's a matter of opiniun. In Jacks defence when he started these 'OTHER WELLINGBOROUGH SOUL NIGHTS' I explained to him that he should write on the poster that cd's are played. He took this 'Constructive' Critisism and actually thanked me. Anyway see you all at The Embankment Friday...And no fighting or you'll have me to deal with. Len.

So surely by putting lesser names on it doesn't eat into the profits. When you take into account that there is no evidence that Well known names do attract crowds, I really don't understand why promoters fall over themselves to put on these so called big names on. JM link

Makes you think doesn't it? Just read all the above, very sad news. I'm glad I met you Derek and thanks for all the joy you put into the scene. Len.
