I'm quite surprised with that statement Phil. You ran a great night that dared to venture away from the same old same old. I wouldn't have said it was a typical northern soul night by any means. And Karl doesn't fit the northern soul dj tag. Did his sets not do it for you? This isn't an attack on you mate, I'm genuinely interested in your views.

Yep, that's my point exactly Joan. As James Trouble said in a diffeent thread, these people are in a position to influence and yet they don't seem interested in smaller room sounds.

Spot on Paul. I guess that attitude is what splits the scene. I can't understand a person that needs to hear things they know or they can't have a good time. I bet these people plan what they are going to have for tea each night the following week too!

I was at the Radcliffe nighter last night and made my way in to Steve's room at 3am. What I heard simply blew me away. The music from the dj's in there was amazing. This is proper rare soul. Every genre was covered and the consistency and calibre of each record was staggering. But where are the supposed 'big name' dj's? Why would they not want to sit in that room and listen to these amazing records? Are they scared of what they hear because they can't compete with that or does it genuinely not interest them? Dj's like George, Val, Wayne and Paul are playing exciting, fresh and inspiring music but it almost seems like they get ignored in favour of the classics from 30 years ago. What inspires the supposed 'big guns' of the soul scene? Are they happy filling dancefloors with oldies and safe bets? For me its lazy and boring and isn't really going anywhere. Personally, I've been buzzing all day about some of the tunes I heard last night in that room. I've no idea what they are called, how much they are, what genre they even fall under, whether they are available on a cd or whether i'll even hear them again. But rooms like that make me realise that there's enough of these amazing records to keep me digging for a long time yet and most importantly keep me excited about it all. I don't want this to be an oldies v's newies debate, its more about the attitude of the soul scene and how UN inspiring it can be at times compared to the total opposite in rooms like Steve's. Maybe there's only a few of us that feel this way?
