Trammps for me, purely sentimental reasons, first record I bought for my wife to be, still got it somewhere

What a great clip, some nice moves as well

Eric Knowles not quite 'giant' enough Ian?

Nice read, too much to hope he was there on the same night as Anna Ford........... Now that really would be a coincidence

I'm aware buddy, it's like a disease, but a nice one. Already booked myself in to go to Rugby as well, see you saturday at the bowls club

I've listened to about an hour and a half of it so far, thought it was fairly pleasant. I was there the last time he played the 100 and he had the dance floor heaving, I don't know if it'll be an 'I was there moment', only one way to find out I guess, looks like I'll have to put in the effort

Marvin...............

No, I like it as well

Haven't done a nighter for ages, but can't say I'm not interested, he's just one of those names that you can't ignore Part of me is wondering about the timing, are we allowed to know if this has been a protracted negotiation Ady, or very recent? Winnie

Also on it, pop in every so often, don't ever get too involved

Just saw Lorraine's name and that's a good call so I'll nominate her also. Plus Matt Male Scotty

My nominations: Rich Chorley - persistence in getting a point across and willing to put in the time to research whatever subject he's commenting on. Jocko - Great knowledge, and his wit just has me in stitches Steve Guanori - not much he doesn't know soul wise, and he's made the political debates quite interesting. Quick question, if we think of other people in the mean time, are we allowed to add them to the nominations by answering our own post?

I spent some time talking to Elaine yesterday and her only goal is to make a film that reflects the northern scene evolving in the 7Ts, it's us as ''devotees'', that are looking into having a say in what is essentially her project. Whilst chatting, the thing that came across was that she had no agenda, just wanted to make an enjoyable quality film, that's as authentic in it's production as possible, and I applaud her for it. There'll be no aged dancers, and why should there be, I realise you're not saying there should be, but she told me it's been one of the biggest criticisms so far, but as soon as you stick us balding or chubby types in, it would in my opinion lose it's realism, and as thats what she's going for, fair play. As I said earlier, the points Callum made were more to do with the radio show and it's portrayal, and I tend to agree with him and Bearsy, some more contemporary music wouldn't have gone amiss, but as I also said, I would have liked to have seen/heard a part 2, explaining the progression but I think that's a totally separate topic from Elaine's film

I thought Callum was talking about the radio programme and the people interviewed on it, he only mentioned Elaine's film at the end and said he was looking forward to it, so they're two separate topics to me. If she were making a documentary on today's scene it would be impossible to please everyone, the oldies crowd sees themselves as the stalwarts, the upfront crowd sees themselves as the future. Neither is wrong, but impossible to portray, which is why she's chosen to make a feature film, about the 7Ts with the main theme being northern soul, pretty sensible move if you ask me looking forward to seeing it, as I think we all are

I think that's why a part 2, focusing on what's happening now would have been appropriate, giving the impression it's current (which it is) is equally as important as the nostalgia

I dunno Rob, didn't they try to start something else up which didn't take off and then sort of drifted away from the scene?

I loved it as a venue, dance floor used to get a bit dicey at times. The first lifelines, think Bickers did a nighter there as well. I thought the original owners at the time of the nighters left, and new Asian ones took over, and they made life difficult for Rods and Chrissy?
