Really really good mate.

It's not gonna keep me up nights. But as you seem to be in the know about Wikipedia etc, could/would you edit out the blue beat thing? If it's do-able as you say. As already mentioned it's not a bad description (otherwise) of the scene's history. Nothing against Blue Beat like, I quite like it. Just has cock all to do with northern. Bit like the Jam.

Cheers for the tunes btw mate.

Woss with the Blue Beat though do you think? Or should we put that down to Wigan ..?

I'd put up with the anti English shite. "no no mate, I'll clear up after, honest"! What a dream ...

Has anyone posted up Gogse's excellent 8 part story - 'IN THE CLUB' Wigan Casino? Great Stuff. IN THE CLUB (Wigan Casino) Part 1

Nice Tune. >large donald link< that doesn't work. Cos soulclub links don't on here (sometimes), you know .. And mp3 won't upload! Due to current site unusualness methinks ..

Just clicked 'discussion' at top of the page. I'd say Oswald Glinkmeyer wasn't from these shores. I wouldn't recommend this article to anyone as it stands. The reference to northern USA is plain misleading, right at the start (though I understand the writer may be trying to convey the flavour of much NS by referring to Motown, Detroit, Chicago). "Northern" = northern UK, as pointed out, and besides, heaps of songs deemed "Northern Soul" are from southern states anyway, or even from outside the US. And can you say it's a "musical style"? It's like saying "British Invasion" is a musical style. I'd rewrite, but it'd be good to see some more discussion here first. Simon & Andy sound like they could be ss'ers..

When was this agreed? Can I still vote?

Don't try to spare my feelings just get out .. oops, already been done. sorry sean

He'd have more luck with birds if he didn't keep his clothes in the cellar.

I think Wikipedia is a great service on the web. I read their definition of northern soul and was quite impressed. Bit unsure about the blue beat thing though .. What d'yer reckon ..? Wikipedia - Northern Soul shane, have you done this one before? If so feel free to delete.

Well I don't know if I dare mention that VIP radio plays a fair bit of soul. 2-4pm week days is everybody's fave promoter, who always slips in a few northern numbers ..
