    think most collectors all have some, 'only use in an emergency' records, think that what people are talking about it.

    if its a manhattan loft its half full, if its a town hall in dewsbury its deffo half empy, LOL.
  3. Geeselad
    yeah but thats Mancusso at the loft not some bloke from hull djing to a half empty in a town hall in rochdale,

    i just think shorter sets build a buzz and help to generate atmosphere. any dj worth his salt whont completley chop into another genre or style straight away, surely you try to intergrate what you start with into the last person set. and gradually nudge the music into another direction. Shorter sets also help this intergration, it gets dj's working together for the good of the night, imho. Rather than being self obsessed and ego driven.

    I think this might of really worked a few years ago but things seemed to have moved on Russ, imho, both camps are more entrenched than the've ever been. And I just think its almost impossible to find a middle ground where the majority would be satisfied.

    think the peice in grand lam? was done over two issues, as you say great taster for what would make an amazing book.
  7. Geeselad
    there is no place like dam on new years, queens day is also amazing.
  8. Geeselad
    wish I said that, top post thus far.

    to quote Johnny Beggs once again, 'get payed', lol. from my own point of veiw there are no dj's on the northern soul scene, just collectors, jumped up collectors and people with more money than sense.

    tis a great track and in an ideal world only you should be playing it. Not getting one done myself, but its hard to work out why what appears to be a bootleg, fetches good money, when you could get a just as valid carver done for under half the price. sposse the vinyl would last longer though.

    loads of stuff i ddint know in that one post, and toad, I know its maybe too big for a read on here, but I just thought soem of you nice guys might like to give me soem great anecdotes.

    Just listening to Rodigan on R2, and wondered if thee are many parrallels between the two genres, obviously the collecting and clubbing scenes but also the development and the progress of the music, Is dub the island equivalent to P funk for example? Dancehall and Rap? Lovers rock and what passed as indie soul in the 8ts? Seems to me like there's cross pollination between the two styles throughout the last 50 years, or am I talking shite again? I dont know all that much about island music, but I like loads of it. It was hearing Rodigan play the lovers version of 'I caught you in a lie' what done it!
  13. Geeselad
    is this any better than cutting a carver then really???
  14. Geeselad
    I'm up for the manny date too, missed him last time.
  15. Geeselad
    some absolute shite and some top notch discoveries, but even the shite i'd would sooner of listened to than being stuck in M's
  16. Geeselad
    thats a shit hot, spot on, post, as for the returnee's, and your observations are only about those who actually went to wigan, lot alone the hoards of wannabe's who only went to thier local youthy. nowt wrong with that, its just the attitude so many, 50 something, plastic soulies, bring with them, ie, 'I know what northern soul is!'

    The cheery tree pub in runcorn seems to ring a bell as a midweek nigth and the cheshire cat, mondays in nantwhich used to get rammed.
  18. Geeselad
    yep that was it, in ednomton, I thought Ion was involved.
  19. Geeselad
    Len I always thought you avatar was a cat drinking milk, lol. just took a look,
  20. Geeselad
    anyone mentioned, southside soul club? Kev moore run it in Calpham, also remember going to a venue in the Angel islington, paddocks in holburn and I jamacan club in north londo, run by Ion.
  21. Geeselad
    I've said it before but that clip helped got me into it! had just borrowed some tapes off my brother and then I saw that and thought I gotta go there, and the next year I did!
  22. Geeselad
    I recall some grand times at Leighton Buzzard, Dunstable, and the Coventry nighters around 87/ 88.
  23. Geeselad
    god bless the man, rip.
  24. Geeselad
    Christ I'm glad I can still go to places other than northern soul nights, LOL.
  25. Geeselad
    its a really strange concept to me, people only dancing to records they know. and that's what northern has become, a record rather than a music based scene.
