I do Shane, and have converted a couple whom used to be into the commercial sound of motown years ago, i am currently trying to bring an old friend up to date as he has been away from it for bout 25 years and its very difficult to introduce some of the "newer" northern stuff

This bloke is.... and I just happened to be married to him ah... His name is Trev Roberts and won the dance comp at Skeggy last year along with Sam Evans. Dont know about what you guys think about the good dancers, but from experience if you have got a fantastic reputation for dancing and you go to a venue and feeling a bit off it and don't dance as much, you get slated for it from others. I know carl and the guys from Kingsway and all the dancing sometimes takes it out of you, as you will know Steve. I know that Carl has got problems with his Knees, but keeps giving it large on the dance floor cos its what people expect from him.... Sometimes you just want to sit down and listen to the tunes.

It always has been present on the scene Winnie since I first got into the northern scene in the mid 7ts, (the rarities) I think that some (and only some) of the dj's on the scene get a bit too wrapped up in the label side of it. One experience that i had re this was when a couple of major collectors spun "pounds" on the turntable one night where they were guesting, the venue was full but the dance floor empty, individuals were going up to make requests that were never played and the dj's sneered at them as if to say "we aint gonna play that shite" and just carried on spinning the rarest of the rare to an empty floor... the venue suffered badly after that... personally I am a retro girl and like my northern that way, what peeves me though is a venue that advertises northern and plays arm swinging modern and related commercial motown... and woe betide you if you ask for any northern to be played ...

I reckon I last heard this opposite queens hall in Bradford at a tasty little Balti house

Exactly Pete, thats what it should equate too... paula is still played out in this neck of the woods along with this

here you are Pete just for you and time served connoiseurs of the soul world...

Thanks Pete for letting us play with your ball again biggest pants recently heard is that Donna Colman cover up... I just cant understand what all the hype about it is, it seems sort of "Average"

Stoppers have the edge for me... on the theme of "coming back" Havent got anything similar to compare it too we have to have the fantastic puzzles here....

its on a saturday Miff... SOUNDS OF THE SIXTIES.... followed by Jonathon Ross whose side kick Andy on there is a northern fan and they often play a few tracks, also mentioned Mark La Marr on his usually plays a few and of course ASADAN with Stuart Marconi, He usually does a massive new years eve programme too as well as his normal show. We made it to radio four the other week too, albeit for half an hour of highly edited stuff.... Terry Wogan I reckon is a closet soulie too.... dont forget you can replay all the shows on radio 2 via their website... Do you think they will give me a reduction in my license fee now i have given them some pr

It had been sold, but thanks for the info.. The search continues

Two awesome tunes.. heard "Aint no big thing" before but "Someday" I see what you mean Mandy, it's bloody brilliant... What a tune, never heard it before LOVE IT

there must be a copy of this on vinyl somewhere in this world if there is its well hidden, cos i cant find it anywhere, cant even find any info bout it either.

when guesting usually finish with something that has a full dance floor reaction, but if its at our nite and its the last spot, any of the three before eight or Ray Pollards the drifter.

found a couple of C+W albums for sale but no track listing on them, so dont want to purchase them really, its driving me mad this It must be a girl thing Mandy but you would think that these knowledgable soul source boys would have the answer now as to its whereabouts

it has got something about it though, did my homework re the country and western thing, but this track is the genre of northern
