============== Billy, Kev did comment when Pete put up the thread, which was about a month ago. Think he said he didn't really have a problem. I'm sure one of the others who are more computer proficient, can post up a link so you can have a look. Winnie:-)

Marvin by the proverbial mile for me ;-) Winnie:-)

================== Well I haven't noticed a lot of people saying they prefer Doni's version.....but I do. Will I be pilloried now? There's just something about his voice. Winnie:-)

============== Back street was played at either Hinkley, Lifeline or Willington.......can't remember which they all seemed to merge into one.....soz. Winnie;-)

=================== The 8th of Feb?? You make your debut at the premier nighter in Britain, and you get the date wrong? Winnie:-)

================ Bobby Paris is still played reasonably regularly (thankfully).......particularly round my local area. Bedfordshire, Northants Cambs etc. As for Kiki Dee I have heard it recently somewhere, maybe a local do in Peterborough. Winnie:-)

============= Thanks Pete Just listened to it.....I quite like it, deffo ender material IMO. Winnie:-) PS Sorry to have gone off the original thread peeps :-)

============= Pete, I have speakers on my computer (daughter back from uni) any chance you can direct me to the stop the clock thread, so I can hear it please? Winnie:-)

============== I have heard this before.....sounds very poppy to me, and not much good at all. Winnie:-)

=============== Actually Pete I agree with you.......I prefer Doni Burdicks version :-) Winnie:-)

=============== Are you playing at the 100 club? I hadn't realised Winnie:-)

============================= Just spoke to the Chalkster on the phone and he confirmed he does have it Winnie:-)

=============== Certainly agree with Gary about it being a head fukc I'm pretty sure I wouldn't walk away cos like for most of us its in our blood. I don't particularly care about the exclusivity aspect, the more people get into it the longer it will survive. We are in danger of leaving our musical legacy to the world IMO if current trends continue. Personally I would like to see it live on, if the cost is some loss of underground kudos then so be it. I agree with Gary re: what is expected safe enviroment, manners, etc. But in truth don't believe that these 'Unwritten Rules' are prioritised enough any more. But that is a different topic, so won't go into it now. To dislike something purely because it's commercial is a nonsense. Whilst we're all into N/S we also like other musical genres (I assume) Motown was aimed at a commercial market, a lot of the tracks we dance to week in week out were based on the Motown sound, should we not like them? Let it go commercial, the same thing that happened in 75 would re-occur, there would be a lot of new entrants to the northern scene, and then when the next fad comes along they would depart again Having said all this, the question is hypothetical, and I don't think what Joe said could or will happen Winnie :O) PS. Gary, I didn't mean you were talking nonsense, just meant that not liking anything commercial is a little on the impossible side. No offence meant

=============== Heard an excellent track last night played by Carl Willingham. Good Baby - Survivors Carl said he thinks its the only copy, was it discovered this year. Anybody got any info on it? Winnie:-)

========== And you mate Win:-)

========= The Hammy from Bedford, doesn't do the net....at least I don't think he does, so whenever you see Hammy, Karen just think kilts As for a record epitomising N/S well you said we could have anything, so I'm going with "Blowing my mind to pieces". First northern record I ever heard, was round a mates house listening to Motown, knock, on the door, and it was a Polish lad (Wozy) and he came in and said, listen to this....... Thought it was rather good actually Winnie:-)

========= I'm sure we know each other....did you used to play footie?

=========== They must have, the police sung a song about it, and we all know that the police don't lie Winnie:-)

============= I was at the last Rovers Only spoke to Tony W briefly, and then spent the rest of the night dancing. I think I know who you are, do you normally knock around with Rob and Sue? Win:-)

============ I still go to Kempston Rovers, which is run by Hammy, Geoff Ware, and Pete Hulatt Still see Tommy T out and about as well. Martyn, do you still live in Bedford? Winston:-)

========= Hi Martyn, Yeah I'm from Bedford, about 10 miles away Winnie:-)

========= Give him my best Janine, and wish him a speedy recovery. Winnie:-)

========= Nogsy played this to me about 4 years ago.....very Derek and Clive :-) Winnie:-)
