A Bout Time They Let This Go
Nice one mate - All except for the bit ....."convincing themselves they are the only ones doing it right"......I can only speak for myself and my 'fellows' in 'The Den' of course, but we simply play good soul music (no rules) and we're no better than the guys 'n' gals in the main room, most of which come and say hello, or have a friendly laugh at us 'doing our thing' - All good fun! All the best, Len

Alright Win - You don't get out much do ya? (Just kidding, keep em coming mate) Loads of things / words / phrases that used to be quite cool, or meant something meaningful and deep are now cringe worthy. Unfortunately they have been hijacked - hence I have compiled a 'Shudder List'....it has now got to the point where I daren't speak to a mate that has also added a few to it - Our conversations now go....."Blah, blah, blah"....."No, Len, you can't say that anymore, remember?"......."Oh yeh sorry, blah, blah, blah,"......."Len, no!"......."Sorry"......blah, blah, blah".......etc......I've given up talking to him now because we're both so screwed up with it all All the best, Len K.F.C!

Not 'off topic' really mate, the thread is about how different the Scene has become. I remember back in the 90's, when I booked D.J's I always had a long conversation telling them to 'do their thing', and that I couldn't give a sh*t about the dance floor - BEFORE anyone jumps on that - It was my way of 'pushing' them that little bit more to make them REALLY 'do their thing', because I meant it - Why would I hire anyone if I can do the same from my shelves? Back then places were more 'forgiving' mind - ridiculous using the word 'forgiving', because that is what it's all about. All the best, Len

Me: "What does your crowd like to hear" Promotor: "Anything that's quality Dave, do your own thing". Me: "Great!" ....As usual - The promoters fault, but the D.J gets it in the neck. That's my take on it anyway. All the best, Len

You are so right! - The other week I was working on a set, playing some 'beautiful Mid-tempo' number, Nina shouts from the living room......"Christ Len, is that a record or a Hymn?!" .....I kid you not........She knows nothing I tell you! Fun, fun, fun All the best, Len

Don't be scared, they don't bite mate - well most don't! 'Heal from within' is also a phrase used by someone (Nick Clegg on Europe I think) 'Heal' may be the wrong word in this case, 'change' (for everyone's benefit) would fit better - Here in Northants we have done just that, everyone getting involved - we are now at the stage where most people respect each others different views, and more importantly we are all listening to different music from different era's, one being the very early Northern that Glen Bellamy is bringing to the table as resident at 'Soul in the Bowl'. Also, loads from the main room at least visit 'The Den' at some point in the evening. We're never gonna get rid of the rivalry, no one seems to wants to - but we have turned it into fun! All the best, Len

Poll: Bbc Culture Show - Northern Soul - Your Take ?
I know what you mean, and agree to a point - For me it depends who has written it / if it keeps my interest. Meaning, if 'someone' has written long posts and not kept my interest a few times, then I have that fact 'noted', whereas on the other hand, some posters I have 'noted' as always keeping my interest, and I look forward to what they have to say (no matter how long the post) But yes where possible, I prefer 'short, sharp and snappy' (I don't like 'stating the ble*ding obvious' posts) All the best, Len

I was just about to type.......When I used to leave my house at Midnight as 'The Pub People' were coming home, to meet Rob Leach to go to The 100 Club - I thought that was pretty underground. Nice one Ady (whoever you are) All the best, Len
