    I understand there are plans to produce a publication of the papers from the day but I'm not sure when it'll appear. I'm happy to send people a pdf of my slightly shambolic paper on Dave Godin. Just send me a PM if you want a copy.

    Manchester Metropolitan University is organizing a symposium and lecture on Northern Soul on 29 June at Manchester Town Hall. It'll feature a few talks from people who are researching the history of Northern Soul, and a lecture and panel discussion with fans, DJs and others involved in or interested in Northern Soul. A flyer is attached with a bit more detail The event is free. If you are interested in coming along, here are the registration links Day: http://soul_symposium.eventbrite.com/ Evening: http://northernsoul_...eventbrite.com/ Please PM stereojet if you'd like more details clip from above links... Lecture by Professor Tim Wall, Birmingham City University; 'Stomping Ground: How Northern Soul Built a Dance Community' followed by panel debate chaired by Dr Katie Milestone (MMU) with fans, dancers, DJs, researchers and entrepreneurs involved in the Northern Soul scene - past and present. Virtual, real and 'imagined' communities that are linked to Northern and Rare Soul scenes will be discussed.There is no single Northern Soul community - a significant number of first generation fans are still actively engaged with Northern Soul but over time newer communities have emerged. With a legacy approaching half a century do notions of community become increasingly linked to memory and nostalgia? We will discuss a number of questions about Northern Soul and community including debating what, in addition to the music, plays a role in forging a sense of community.We will also discuss the impact of new technologies on Soul scenes. To what extent do the profound developments in new and social media, the dissemination and consumption of music, impact on the way music fans interact with other fans/performers/DJs and others involved in Northern and Rare Soul scenes? How important is 'place' for the Soul music communities of the analogue and digital world? 8pm onwards DJ Steve Cato and friends, The Old Nags Head, Jackson's Row, Manchester. Entry ticket available for people attending the symposium/early evening debate The event is free but booking is essential. 29JuneSymposiumFlyer.pdf

    Thanks Kev and ulysses. I'll see if any of my contacts know Al Taylor and find out if I can contact him. Thanks for the info. I'd love those LPs but CDs will have to do for me for the time being! You're right about Emperor Rosko. He also compered most of the other shows. He was good enough to answer a few questions of mine, recording his answers on an MP3 file. It's by far the coolest email I've ever received! thanks again Stereojet

    Hi Shelly No, I've not contacted him, but will do now. Thanks for your help!

    Hi Brian, sorry for not getting back to you -- I've been away for a while. When is a good time to call you? Cheers!
  8. Stereojet
    Cheers Chalky, and thanks for that info Brian -- I'll follow it up.
  9. Stereojet
    Ha,ha! I hadn't heard that. I'll drop him a line.

    Brilliant. Thanks everybody. Great find Andy -- looks like I'll have to get the credit card out....
  11. Stereojet
    So, no takers then. Not to worry. Thanks for reading! I'll pop back from time to time, just in case.
  12. Stereojet
    Hope so! Also, if anyone has any questions about me, I'll be happy to answer them (within reason, obviously). And, in case anybody's interested, the reason that I'm looking into the Revue is in part because my Mum went to one of the concerts and told me some really interesting things about how it affected her personally. I'm wanting to see if she's the only person who was affected in this way, or if it was widespread. Cheers all. I'll pop back on Monday.

    Just to introduce myself and ask for a little bit of help. I'm a University lecturer who works on African American music in the 1960s (and bits and pieces of other stuff). I'm currently doing some research on the Stax/Volt Revue, which toured the UK in March-April 1967. I get the sense from browsing the site that you're more into your Northern Soul, but I'm wondering if any of you have any friends/relatives who might have been around in the UK during the tour? I'm wanting to do a few interviews with people who were there to try to find out a bit about their impressions of the Revue and what it meant to soul fans in the 1960s. If you have any ideas, please let me know!
