Divs has always been a term to describe “normal” people not other soul music lovers. A bit like a muggle who is one without magic (for those who know their Harry Potter).

Youth Club, the very term is often derogatory when used, well not maybe not derogatory but it often refers to the kinda a music you wouldn't hear at a proper event. When something cheesy is played it is often described as youth club sounds.

Me too I reckon

Of course Youth Clubs are part of our history, but it was the northern that was played interested us, not the pop. I haven't done moddy type or scooter events I'm afraid so can't comment what was played at those kinda events. Well I've been to a few mod nights but they were pretty hard core if you like and wouldn't entertain Billy Ocean.

All the events Sooty mention the playing of RLSD are youth clubs, slipper events, weddings etc, events that are of no interest to what happens on the soul scene. They don't influence the scene or any of the 25 fragments of the scene. They are the kind of events for "normal" people with a bit of cheesy northern thrown in.

You have turned a topic about someone into a topic about you again, you do it every time you come on here, sooty this sooty that, me me me me. Who cares what you get up to? Respect if what you say you are doing you are doing but why the need to ram it down everyones throat on a forum about soul music all the time you are here, which isn't very often. I know people who have done far greater but they don't spout off about it, they don't come onto a music forum and waffle on and on. Only you can turn a war into something about you! You are far better off just leaving all that somewhere else and stick to the music, it is after all what we come on here for.

Mainstream? I haven't heard RLSD at a mainstream event. Classic oldies, maybe club soul etc but not out and out chart music such as RLSD. I'm also very welcoming to new people on whatever part of the scene I follow and have helped and supported many over the years. But I am a traditionalist if you like and I find or reckon that records like RLSD will just encourage the playing of more records of that ilk. Anyone not on the scene have always been "divs" which you probably know, the kind of people as I've said before we went to niters to get away from. Of course people are welcome on the scene but why try and change it to something it isn't? Why join it in the first place if you want to hear pop music (I know the scene has had its fair share of pop over the years), I presume you join it for the music and of course the friendship.

You've done nowt but waffle since you came back on again

Talk about stating the bleedin' obvious. You are talking different kinda venues, horses for courses and nothing none of us fail to grasp or understand. The first one is of no interest to us, div venues and weddings, probably the kinda place you belong reading what you write, the kinda place RLSD belongs and they are of no interest to this forum. FFS 1000's of Dj can do what you say they can't, they do it every week.

This weeks show if they don't remove it again. Charlie Rees with a great selection of music is this weeks guest in the studio.

I would want my money back if I heard this or Wooly Bully

are you serious? They are exactly the type of record and the type of people who play and listen to them that I went to niters to get away from

You’ve been to too many div and handbaggers nights

Mint one on discogs this year for £2229 previous one VG+ £1245, US grading so EX here

I shall be cancelling my subscription before next month. For ever one good show there are a dozen crap ones and I rarely watch it now. Every time I take a look I find little of interest.

I would imagine you would go through the representative body for whichever country you reside in to license others work, in our case in the UK the PRS, they have according to their website agreements with over 100 countries.

Mixcloud for some reason removed last weeks show, citing breach of copyright, onlhy been posting the show for about 6 years Here is a new link....

The difference between the use of sample and an interpolation explained... https://help.songtrust.com/knowledge/what-is-the-difference-between-a-sample-and-interpolation

Well well, wasn't aware of that but then again I rarely look at ebay because of all the boots and carvers on there

Easy 600 Rod. Not aware of a boot, maybe a carver?

course I'm old enough, we have and have had a pretty OTT one in Chesterfield when it came to Northern Soul niters

A scene full of divs and johnny come lately's, how can they not know you mate? Probably done more venues than most! Newcomers to a venue were always viewed with suspicion once upon a time, usually cause they were thought to be the squad

It's nice to see soul and disco top of the charts but I disagree with the use of the original in whatever form without recompense to the original copyright holder.

Well done mate on the ton, quality all the way!

Some Detroit magic on offer in this weeks show with Rob Moss joining Dean in the studio for some unreleased, alternate takes, instrumentals and tasters of what is to come at Hayley records in the future.
