that will have its day

patti day tune!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also have 'drive me' which is also stupendous.

good post,m kinda of confirms my thoughts but I'm sure this will be circular, kids will rediscover music, games are shite, lack depth anbd any really positive emotional experience, imho. Noticed another forum I use' oldskoolanthemz' has declined considerably, odd really given that,like northern,the actual demographic for this style of music is still growing. more people listening to more music but carinjg about it less and less, strange.

inverted facism that, I'd be pretty proud right now of not looking like a soulie!

favorite quote from this was, 'none of that funk shite, its gotta be the real deal from the 1960's', boy how times and personal perceptions have changed.

its a digital recorder Russ, you can plug them into a mixer, and it records the whole night, you plug the device into your pc and you have a massive wav of the night. if you wanted the background noise they do one for recording pub gigs and rough demo's for musicians https://www.henrys-electronics.co.uk/shop/CD___Media_Players.html?gclid=CO6EnMuAkLoCFZQZtAodyBsAIg

thats brilliant and really touching.

lifeline, bidds, 100 and burnley are the only nighters I've been to that can have the true spirit. KH can be as imber said a fantastc night out, the numbers certainly generate atmosphere, and I used to get a real feeling on the gathering of the clans, but many like me have grown, just a little, cynical of its commercial downsides. Ideal nighter would have lifeline as a venue the atmos of a 100 club anni and an even more progressive music policy than bidds, ie it would have Sam and maybe mr G or Big George as residents playing music made in the last 40 years and maybe we could loose this wholesale obsession with the friggin 6ts and really move on. and there would probably be me and the DJ's there!

Baggie trousers, wasscuts and mugs, lots of mugs, literally and metaphorically.

needs a bit of pitch but its the bizzness, been spinning for the last 18mnths

on the contrary Northern soul for the majority is more rigidly defined than its ever been, its usually a selection of around 100 known oldies.

there was no promt from me, I cringed when he said he'd seen it, ' er your into that soul shite arent you? I saw this film the other night.....' My point is even from that, (soulboy) he got it, travelling to dance, the focus on music, turning away from beer culture, its all there Perhaps like you intonated that is the story, the very concept of underground music culture in this shitepop era is sensational enough to interest people.

fair cop guvnor, the dancehall looks spot on, and to a certain extent the atmosphere seems there in essence. it is unfair to be so judgemental from a trailer, snide remarks are uncalled for and it really isn't relevant if she went or not. She, like myself, certainly grew up in the 7ts and was probably surrounded by the culture at least. I do have some apprehensions based on this trailer, the previous one was brilliant, and I actually thought soulboy wasnt that bad, it had some humour at least and it was set in an actual soul city.

a mate said he'd seen soulboy on TV (is it really that bad?) and said, thats just like what we used to do at the Hac.

in fairness, yep your right, it needs room to breath a little.

I'm really hoping it does, but that didnt come across strongly in that promo. Pete mentioned it was a story about a trip to the states, bringing back a killer tune. I just dont know if that story has a wider appeal, its pretty difficult for anyone on here to say too, cause we all are interested in that story.

totally agree but you also need a plot that transends its setting for it to have any appeal beyond a northern soul audience.

thanks pete, didnt come across well that, did hear mention of the stateside trip, but there's no clips of then trailing through some warehouse or of two dopey northern kids finding there way from the airport to 'the hood'. Will that kind of story have appeal beyond the scene anyway?

it does indeed 'look good', but I have to say from the clip I'm struggling to find a real story in there, and thats what makes a great movie imho. Hate to knock it at this point but surely it needs to have an emotive plot that people, not on the scene, can connect with?

my brothers mates told my about greaser mania after easyrider came out too.

what! you mean there was a mod scene before Quad!!!!!!!

made the same point penny a couple of months ago and got shot down for it. I always get more of a kick dancing to something I like dont know or is recently familier to me then a tune I've heard before.

were not the only scene suffering from this, https://djzimmie.com/2013/09/05/end-of-djing/?inf_contact_key=ea5d6a7b8cd46e59708bff907d1d46a7436017c230be24d1d3e3e5c292bb9f0b

interesting point matt, from a anthropological view now's more interesting than then, there were loads of youth tribes in the 70's, how many middle aged, youth obsessed sub culture are there nowadays?

I been to some quality oldies nights Ive also seen a few car crashe wedding like the one mentioned bellow you post, there is a variety of quality in oldies nights.
