And their next weekender is.......... a Harry Potter signing?

THE AQUA: HEDNESFORD 1/02/2002 Thanks to Winston for passing on a review and playlists of the Aqua Not having been to this venue before, but having heard so much about it from friends I felt really excited on the journey down. A couple of mates from St Ives rung up (Baz and Stuart) and said that they had spare seats and would I and Juliette like to go with them. We jumped at the chance and a couple of hours later we were on our way. It took about two hours to get to the venue from Cambridge, which wasnt bad considering the high winds and after setting off at around seven we duly arrived around nine. (Basic maths):-) A large car park just opposite the venue housed most of the punters cars and it was pleasing to see that it was quite full when we parked up. Its a really smart venue, into the foyer and paid the very reasonable amount of three pounds fifty each to get in. ...

============ Rosemary what happened as well

====== Breakaway sprung to mind for me as well, also the casualeers. Afternoon of the rhino.............. there were loads

============= I mostly agree with you Billy, but Ian has to show respect for others views, not just disagree because they don't suit. Humility is an attractive quality............. Winnie :-)

============= HSJ, deffo falls under the northern banner IMO ;-)

I thought the program was really good, and Martin Freeman sounded and looked very genuine in his appreciation. Loved hearing 'uptight', first time for so long. Know it's a matter of opinion, but best commercial motown record for me, would have been 'walk in my shoes'. Winnie :-)

========== I read your first two 'major' threads Ian, sometimes they were interesting, sometimes tedious, but both were reasonably entertaining. From the way you've introduced this one, it seems doubtful that it'll be able to match up. If you're going 'to control', what you answer to, as in difficult questions regarding previous/new recordings for instance, then the thread will end up as a 'Levine tribute', which will invite the snide comments you want to avoid. I don't think you're in a position to judge whether someones perceived critisism is biased and unfair as opinions are diverse on everything, and are never difinitive. I am in no doubt that you enjoy the limelight Ian, and from what you've achieved on the northern scene, I think, to a degree, you probably deserve it, but if you try and set the rules of debate within this thread to suit yourself, you'll be doing yourself and soul source a dis-service. Just to make things clear, I am in no way saying you should answer, for instance, comments on your sexuality, personally I think they're irrelevant and uncalled for. Good luck with the thread Winnie :-)

============== I dunno, 'walking in the air' did quite well in the hit parade

============ Other way round for me :-) First heard 4 vandals at Luton, sure Ian said it was the first time he'd played it, remember being told very shortly afterwards it wasn't all that it was being made out to be, didn't phase me, and would still dance to it now :-)

================== Thought I'd seen it as well, maybe bbc 3? Winnie :-)

=============== Back at you Mike, and the same to each and every SS member Winnie :-)

============== Best I've seen in recent years has to be Barbara Lynn, she was magnificent. Overall though, for consistently good quality, I'd have to agree with you about Edwin Starr Winnie :-)

=========== Have PM'd you what I meant Pete Just in case anybody is in doubt, they don't really have similar CV's

========== You and Nik Mak have remarkably similar CV's

Correct on all three counts Spacehopper! (well, for this one extra anyway)..... =========== Didn't see the ad for a token port vale supporter? :-p

================= As I've said, I haven't followed the thread closely, are there actually posts where some people say it's ok that they've treated SS members badly? Genuine question, as I don't have the inclination to trawl through all the posts, at the same time, I'll understand if you can't be asked to either

========= I could sort of understand your angst if your whole argument had started after the recent reports of what had happened on set but I seem to recall you were never particularly supportive of the film from the off. I probably haven't followed the thread closely enough, but from a personal point of view, the constant negativity on the northern scene in general has worn me down. So many saviours and martyrs to the cause, materialising, who don't seem to grasp what the northern scene is about......... enjoyment. These 'chosen few' set guidelines on just how we should be experiencing 'this thing of ours', without recognising we most of us know what we want from it. It's the constant, having to justify oneself, whether it be about clothes, venues, oldies, whatever, so as to not have 10 posters implying that you're a philistine that I find most wearing. Winnie :-)

It's all a bit disappointing that some people want this film to fail for whatever reasons........... I'll definitely go and see it, so I can make my own mind up, about how good it is or isn't, as a film! Winnie :-)

Anybody would think there was a film in the offing...........

Would like to think it would survive, I know I'd give it a go, but doubt very much it would be overly popular with most? Winnie :-)

Why is that these threads always seem to point to something or someone specific without actually naming someone. Is it just me that think they're 'agenda' based? Maybe I'm getting as cynical as Stevie..........

=========== Think it's a bit harsh to question whether people have got the charity in mind when they actually organise an event. Most people, particularly our age group, have been touched by some personal catastrophe or other, so it's easy to see how people have soft spots for certain causes. There already are bright thinking promoters with quality DJ's and music, can't see what that's got to do with charity events?? Winnie :-)

=========== Definite genesis theme going on there (hope that's the right biblical reference) And gospel begat....... and R&B begat......... Pete can be Moses, Herod's yet to be decided Beeks you can be the new testament
