I'm always suprised by how much and how well certain modern tunes go down @ oldies soul nights. Especially considering how hard it is to break new or current 6ts spins. Handbaggers seem eager to dance to the likes of Micheal Proctor, Kenny Thomas, and DJ Gemini when the likes of the Parisians clear the floor.

Two records that would still get me up for a shuffle .Donnie Elbert Little piece of leather . Sorrry but, someone else played it on sat, for gods sake this man cant sing!!!! his voice is so irritiating I said to Jez, if someone found another version of 'do i I love you' on acetate, I'd buy it to snap, so no one else could ever play it. The only soul singer that you could compare Ce lo Green to, yes that bad imho.

Cheers Dave.

They did on a sundays, I can remember been really sneared at by the london mods, but the skins and suedes were ok.

it is on mate, they were on about it on facebook.

Top pick got one, for a fiver, off here.

Indemander at the moment fred, the Nick Allen, picking up plays.

Good pick, on Broadway was big at Wig, wasnt it as well?

oops, I've bought the bleeding thing in single a while back too!

A trusted freind told me he first heard Del larks of a tape Levine sent from the states, before he was back around 71, was it a mecca record? I'd always assumed it was wigan.

heard Drifters - Ghetto child today and it reminded me it was often the last record at peterbourgh fleet in Bucky's day, could I, should I? hmmmmh?

Ironic really I've heard wooden nickels at the last 3 soul nights Ive been to, and If I hear Delagates of soul again I'll scream, certain rare soul tunes are as over played as Frank wilson.

After raiding me motown and 6ts youth club classics on saturday for a oldies night, , I was wondering where's the cut off for some of you lot? Where do you draw the line? the snake? landslide? Chairmen of the board? Band of gold, LOL. There's tune's we'd all cringe at, but, what do you think you can get away with? or again where is the cut off, as someone once said 'I'd do anything for northern but I wont play that!' Perhaps some alternative ideas on familier ( to everyone) but not so overplayed tunes might be a hoot too.

They've just not round to saying sod clothes I'm going to spend all me cash o vinyl yet! it took me till I was about 21.But your right, the look, was and still is important to so many on the scene.

All 12's of course. Some soulful garage that have been played on the scene over the last 5 years UBP feat Bobby Pruit- As one- Soulfuric UBP feat Micheal Proctor- Love dont live AM PM uk Joi Cardwell- Let it go- Deep soul Ron Hall and the muthafunkers- I love the way you love me DJ Gemini- Tribute to Betty Classic Deep House and Garage IMHO Phase ii- Reachin- Movin La Charanda- We just started- Movin CC Rodgers- Someday- Atlantic Pasadenas- Going Round- MAW mix Stearling void- I dont want to go DJ Int Wall of sound- Run to me ,LP mix, 8 Ball Guy Costley- Somebody here- Movin UBO Proj- When I fell in love ( vocal mix)UBQ Ten City- Where do we go- Atlantic ( has this got not soul? it makes me weep!)

yeah fair piont, its not that I wished thay hadnt happened, but they could be better.

Not saying they aren't nice photos. no but I am pete, there so desparate to capture the smell of it the atmosphere but miss by a clear mile.

Come on Chalky it is rather predictable.

just looks like a fashion shoot to me, the only thing missing is, tank top by slarty Bartfast, £12000.99. liners underneath.

I'll have dig and I'll have dig and post some on tis thread in a bit.

yet they dismiss proper roots-of-soul rhythm & blues as rock n roll and country music. I lot of what I hear played of this ilk are tin pan alley also rans and have less connection to black music than music made by black musicians, frequently from detriot and chcago, for black audiences in the past 25 years.

pete I can honestly say there'sa absolutely nothing constructive about this comment, Why?

I notice no one mentioned 90's or even Y2K indie soul, for me there's probably more miliage in street soul or even what was on the fringes of the acid Jazz scene.

sounds a great combination.

same here matey, gave up northern in 89 to go to the Hacienda, Shelly's, Legends, shaboo ect, then just followed the soulful side of the music since then. Returned to the scene around 97ish after the best of it was done.
