Just in case anyone missed this article I did, it covers what we do know about the Martiniques.

Just play it mate

England have one of the best midfields and attacks, I can't think of a team with a set better. Some have better individuals etc but its a team effort at tournaments. If Southgate gets his tactics right, lets the players off the leash as he did against Belgium then no reason why we can't win. Semi's should be a prerequisite with this squad. France probably have the more settled more experienced side and will be one of the favourites.

Southward apparently 1977 covered up by New Wherry who got it from John.

If you missed Thursday's show then you are in for a treat....or maybe you just wanna hear it all again.

Make sure you listen in tonight, after a long time pestering, Andy Rix will finally grace the studio alongside Dean and gez.

The reissue is a solid centre and the difference clear unless there is another.

Some places the authorities insisted upon a membership. Every club had them BITD....I have a load somewhere in a box

Two superb releases with great selections. Ordered my copies!

They should bring them back, keep undesirables out

Yer right mate it ain't dead. It might not be to the liking of many but it's still alive and licking. I still think its best days are behind it but that's not to say we can't have many more good times. End of the day just do what makes each of us happy.

In answer to your question Mick, number 3 for me probably. Still love the music and always will, still enjoy a decent night out. No longer go out for the sake of it. It'll be that way for as long as I can get out I think.

Dean Anderson presents The Sound of Soul ™ 23rd May 2024 **LIVE CHAT EVERY WEEK** 8pm till 10pm Dean and Gez are joined by the wonderful Arthur Fenn after a very long absence on the Sound of Soul! Join us the usual quality music and chat..

There has been dismay in every era over the direction of the scene, the arguments today are the same arguments going back to the wheel. Each era thinks they had the best of it but I do think the best days are behind it. As for the direction, it's not up to us really, those who come forward to carry the scene forward will decide the direction. Not many of us like change especially the change in musical trends. I didn't like the change towards the funky stuff, especially the stuff that was far away from what we grew up with but I guess the lack of quality 60s made others look elsewhere. Others didn't like the modern in years gone by. There will always be something for someone to complain about.

I know The Meaning never been out of favour if you ask me, the other side has had its fair share, never thought it was that popular though

Both sides been played for donkeys. One side was a Keb spin at Stafford.

No one knows everything , but if you are out and about enough you get to know just about everything that is being played. Imagination has gone and every facet of the scene (upfront, crossover etc) is an oldies scene. Like you say there are niche venues where some do try to keep it refreshing.

Phil is right to a certain extent, the scene is flogging a dead horse but there are still some quality events and maybe it will get the "proper" revival it needs at some point. Most of us have grown up with the scene and the scene has grown up with us. Apart from a couple of hotspots there are very few youngsters, Bristol and London seem to be bucking the trend but they have large university crowds and social media is a big influence in those parts. I just go to the venues that appeal to me, listen to the music that appeals to me, listen to the right people and put those who rewrite the history right if they will listen. We all still have something to learn as well. I have to agree with the internet having g a detrimental affect, YouTube the death of crate digging, discogs and eBay the death of record bars. Digging in the record bars, it was how we learnt most things, not a quick google...its all too easy for most these days.

Happy birthday Martyn
