Do you sing along when the Dells version is playing?

Informative, concise and the comment will fit in nicely with the bag of b*llocks you're collecting. .

And don't forget the fabulous ender by the Bushblairs 'It will never be over for me'

Featuring footage from the Baghdad Mecca....

All nighters would be seen as rebellious by the older generation, so I'm imagining that would have been a major factor in how and why they started, basically to get away from the norm. Just an opinion by the way, not a fact.

If you hadn't acted in such haste Steve I could have used the 'I watched a soulie slip away' line, but no you had to go and spoil it didn't you

As high as 50% going to listen Ted? I'd have guessed 40% of those not dancing go to talk and see there mates, whether it's an oldies or a rarities do. Reading reviews on Source, how many times do you see had a great laugh with my mates. I know it's all part of it, but it's the one area where there's no massive distinction between the 2 crowds IMO.

Don't remember the word first time around, but soon became accustomed to it when I came back on the scene in the nineties. Don't particularly like it either, but it is a convenient 'cover all', is it in the Oxford English yet? :) PS. When I was a frequent visitor to the 100 I absolutely adored it, wonky dance floor and all. Musically second to none, and I still look upon it as the best nighter ever since the 'good old days'.

Hideous!!!!!

Hi Nick, I remember Dawn playing Linda and the Vistas for me at Scenesville, I love the record, hadn't heard it played before, and never heard it played out since. Not saying you're a scene changer, you're far too modest for that, but the venue with it's music policy, along with the Dome was IMO

This makes absolutely no sense to me, as in I have no idea what you're getting at, I've literally no clue as to why you'd want to bring this sort of comment to this site, I'm only talking from a lay members point of view. I've supported this site since I've been on here, it's responsible for most of the other sites that have sprung up, which in my view have been poor imitations in comparison. And don't think I'm sucking up to Mike, we've often had our differences over the years, I just don't like to see this sort of 'inferred' abuse about a site that has helped me with info, and helped me to meet a lot of good people!

I'll name it, the Embankment club Wellingborough, for years the best local event we had, innovative music, great dance floor, good people in attendance and truly excellent promoters

70% without cheating 60% with cheating, because I did it without my glasses on

That's probably the difference then Chalks, I tend to use facebook just for social purposes, and the groups I'm in, I've generally been joined to rather than requested to join. If I want info I tend to use Source, because to me it's much more intimate, as you say though, it's horses for courses

Yep that's about the size of it Pete, there's also a few I went here, and am going there comments. Do you remember how wound up people used to get on KTF when someone started a list hahahaha

Definitely more floating about on FB, but without wishing to sound disrespectful to them, many of them appear to be just arriving, or recently arrived on the soul scene, and FB was the first port of call. The 'volatile' arguments I was talking about aren't frequent, but because the groups aren't moderated as such, they can get quite out of hand at times

Chalks, I don't know if you're talking about facebook when you say other internet sites, I'm on a few groups on there, but they certainly don't have the depth of Soul Source and have many more volatile fall outs. To be honest I dip into them very rarely as they often can't or don't hold my interest. If you're talking about something completely different, please accept my apologies bud.

You missed out de O Lennie, it's Ediot, you ediot Perfect nighter for me would start with no alcohol, it would have a good sized and decent dance floor, musically it would be across the board and the people in attendance would be like minded

Enjoyed the answers, thanks to those who contributed, but I think it's time to close it as it's run it's course?. Let me know if it needs re-opening Winnie

I thought the secret greeting was the one Jock described yesterday ;) It's the one I've been doing anyway

I like that you've answered Dave, if you look through the posts, not many have said NO dance classes full stop, what we've been debating is whether it's apt in a venue when there's others dancing. Tommo and Paul are both great dancers, but I've never seen either of them giving lessons inside or outside a soul night so that the 'students' can then go away and practice straight away on the dance floor. That's what I saw last weekend. As has been said, to dance to northern you need to feel it, I respect and understand your reasons for taking the lessons, but I would maintain some are taking the lessons, just so they fit in to what they are viewing as an important part of a social scene, without feeling the music. Sorry if this sounds elitist, it's not meant too, the contributors to this thread (including myself) are worried as to the direction the scene appears to be taking. Once again thank you for putting your point, it's appreciated.

If most of us are going to have those particular trousers, we'll also need something to help us slim, so's we fit in them

Later on in the video he puts on shoe shine and comes down the stairs a la the Nicholas brothers...

I very much doubt I'll be slagging it off Neil, been in favour of it right from the start

Seen it now Neil, cheers buddy
