Well said winnie... wasn't going to comment on this thread but hey... its everytime... same old /same old comments, same old drivel.... bout CLOTHING.... who gives a f'ing Chuff what anyone wears....

Did no one play the Snake????

floor was terrible still was when I last went there to a scooter rally... Jims nites... Packed to the rafters ... they only did a couple there Damn good tunes though.

here here Chalky forgot to put that in my post...

Must say have to agree with some of your points here Simon, true and valid... but disagree with the comments bout the Sidney and Nicole tracks, I cant stand either but thats personal opinion. .. .. and doesnt really address the issue. But I really do think that an awful lot of the smaller venues cater for a wide variety of soul people, some that have been off the scene for perhaps a number of years and some that go to the different venues on a weekly basis both big and small, and by doing so, they play the tried and tested oldies "the safe stuff" but they also play alot of the "more recent tunes" to satisfy the ones that go to venues on a regular basis, I dont know what the happy medium is on the issues here, but I think its great at the moment it gives choice, and diversity, its not going to last forever for certain people due to the ageing process, in the late 8ts/early 9ts there wasnt alot on, due to the "infamous" split on the scene, but at the moment its back and we should take full advantage of it while we can. Got myself two spots tonight one of which will be full on Retro sounds and the other will include giving my latest buy of Kirk Franklin an airing.... So where ever you go tonight soul people enjoy it. x

The hardcore Northern Soul nutters can go to a smaller more trusted -by -them - venue and listen to second rate stuff, talk the same old crap to the same old trainspotters and get all wet at the thought of finding a rare record for tuppence at the local dealer/ Oxfam/ rubbish tip/bootfair etc. I don't really agree that the music played at some smaller venues are 2nd rate Simon think that comment is perhaps a tad unfair , 9/10 some play fantastic sounds bang up to the standards played at a big nighter/dayer somewhere. Now where are these "bargins" that I can get off on...

Think its down to probably too much diversity within "our" music, not a bad thing, dont get me wrong but with regards to venues many people go to a local soul nite decide that perhaps the music policy isnt to taste and think they can offer better and put on a night of their own. Shame really, cos in an ideal world it would be nice if we all worked together. But I guess egos do not allow this, plus apart from the "big" venues putting on nighters and having the facilities of other rooms under the one roof, they also time on their side, wheras a soul nite usually finishes around the midnight/ 1am mark. I think its about the quality of the music played and perhaps not quantity of people but then I guess there are many on the scene who put on a soulnite not specifically to make loads of dosh, but to play out soul sounds that aren't on offer anywhere locally. /index.php?showtopic=35899 this one says it all I reckon

ohhh you sound like my tutor....

When I see the bitching that goes on over Kev Roberts hugely successful events it makes me wonder how sour grapes can be !

That was Scary... first I thought she was gonna fall down then steps , Then she tried stopping that big lorry... . Then was in the middle of the road trying to get the cars to hit her Poor Loleatta... she must have been suicidal.. I think she may have preferred the backing from the style council as opposed to that dodgy backbeat that was in there.... Thanks for posting though Jo but not my cup of teaa x

Come on Marky time to go back to the hospital now

what an amazing song, wow, thanks for that Mike

Spray them with Mace and take them down Give them a taste of their own medicine... damn this fascist state... Im gonna play what I wanna and dance to what I wanna

had mine done bout 18 months ago... best thing I ever did "now" .... wasnt at the time but things are ok again and the thing works better now than it did before. Keep nurses in the NHS and go get your dodgy knees done... it does the job.... Now all I need is a new heel... buggered it at the Skeg Weekender

Thanks guys... appreciate the info...

Hi anyone out there got any info re this track for me i.e label price etc etc

I collect, have done since about the age of 14 (can just remember) Love me records, and like others dont like to share, whats mine is mine etc etc, its very rare that I sell any of them either only if my memory gives up on me and I double up on any. Love them all, and still collecting... bought my last one bout 10 minutes ago As a youngster used to love getting the soul packs through the post and getting a cracker every so often ( once in a blue moon) and still like the occasional "buying blind" for the buzz of finding a gem. The old charity shops aint as good as they used to be anymore and carboots round this area dont hold fruitful... But if its in the blood to sniff out a northern gem then guess that makes me a collector....

Hey guys witness reports from Wolfies bar in Skeggy Sunday night after the weekender.... "Soul Sam up on the floor dancing"

It has Mikey and traces of seven day fool too, read someone said its got traces of nimrod in it too.... But I do like this song very much and heard earlier on in the week on radio 2, dont cha think though she looks and sounds a bit like Chandler Bings girlfriend out of friends, ya know the one... Janice...
