Okay here's a question. I sometimes go to the Broughton airbus club where Sam has a residency with Brian Eliis in North Wales. They play genuine across the board (Sam is the resident so you can take what you want from that) and the punters are all mainly local. Sam plays records there that I hear him play at several other venues including allniters that might be considered to play more underplayed/rare stuff. The punters at Broughton dance to new stuff that Sam and co play as they hear it every month and get to like it. I've seen my father in law dance to anything from the Ultimates to Neo to the OJays in ths space of an hour. So what I'm saying is that I don't think everybody is as blinkered as some people think Oldies lovers may not like a night of very rare underplayed stuff but play the odd classic and some of them will stay and get to like the other stuff. Some older people can be very nostalgic about music, they just need a bit of a nudge

I've lost it...what's this thread about? Sandwiches/Original Vinyl/Clashes??? Btw I have helped promote soul nights in the past and anybody who played anything over than OV at our nights would not have been asked back

I'm not a fan of Amy Winehouse or Duffy, that's well documented on this site. The Duffy single was quite catchy but anything that AW does sends me slightly cold as I think her singing style is very false and no better than the likes of Joss Stone. But Estelle is fab-a proper UK young soul artist to be proud of I think

I love Hattie Littles, the earlier stuff especially . Btw Ian you didn't answer me about Estelle? her album is great and not a bit like the US type of R&B...more retro soul. This is a good one Hope you like it! ">

Some added

Knew you had to like him!He is FAB!!

I agree in the main, there are a couple of exceptions to the rule - I like Jill Scott, John Legend and Estelle

Hiya Phil. 13 - 16 March

Was trying to post and it all got lost and now Ive forgotten what I was going to say Oh well (just for Mark...sorry if off topic Brett but.....) C'Mon City!!!

Mary Fox is embarrassing - Delia Smith does Northern Soul Most of the records she plays that aren't obvious motown are picked out by local collectors from what I can gather..(oops just realised Brian just said that)...wonder if any of them are on SS and can verify this? Duffy isn't a soul singer by any stretch of the imagination. Its a catchy pop record and she's an average singer trying to sound like Dusty Springfield. Nothing special but not totally offensive. But if Mary Fox thinks Mercy is NS then she may as well play Lulu records on her show (and that would be preferable imo!!) Wonder if we see any extra bodies this weekend?

Just realised I didn't answer the topic question....doh...I think to qualify as an allniter they should end at the earliest 6.

It's different now because of the licensing laws..as Andy says there's no chance of getting a venue just from midnight as any venue worth its salt would be booked til late (ie til at least 2am) on Fridays and Saturdays. I like the longer hours to be honest, don't miss queueing outside for an hour in the cold...that's nostalgia gone mad!!

By school run I meant school walk

Me too...you can listen again though I think

I can categorically say Northern Soul ruined my life University place....nah won't bother with that, I want to stay out all night and need to get a job to pay for it But then again, I wouldn't have my lovely little boys but for New Century Soul Club

I think that most people on here are very fair. Apart from the odd loony on here it hasn't been that negative on the whole- even people that you've not seen eye to eye with in the past. And paul-s,however wierd he has seemed, only said all that because he thought you had upset his mate Joan (who is lovely by the way). So hopefully this new thread** will be nice and informative without too much bickering because lifes too short innit ** don't quote me though

Phew who knows!! You have definitely put the cat amongst the Pigeons Ian!!

I think this is the longest thread ever on Soul Source so I think Mike has kept it open as long as he can. And you can still read the old one, don't worry

On the bottom left hand of the thread there is a box that says moderation options. Click on that and one of the options is "close thread" Hope that helps

Think you have to close the old one Ian-not entirely sure though, Mike will confirm. You can still view the old thread when it's closed
