WOW!!! SOLD OUT BRING IT ON WELL DONE GUYS

Seems that maybe the soul mafia are still alive and well in 2009 its gone bloody quiet I know that ...

So how come there was only the odd one who two who doubted this then??? and everyone else just ran with it, whos the fly in the ointment here??? If someone posts that x y and z are coming to appear or djay, who posts ''are they really?'' questions .... seems strange to me to question it from its very initial stages. I seem to think we are missing some essential parts here. I want to know who has jumped on the bandwagon from Robs post on the promotors thread and has liased with LAI to come over to the UK in the next 18 months. And I want to know how come very quickly this has been organised?. I want to know who didnt like the fact that 2 unknown people could actually pull something like this in the first instance and perhaps have gone out of their way to maybe use their ''connections'' to pull the rug from under their feet?? Things arent adding up here at all.

Well Tony lets hope for once in this strange world of ours that when they all wake up, they get behind this, and do what we're renowned for. 12000 miles is one hell of a dedication so come on soul people if he can do it Im sure we can.

Im with you on that one Tony

see the backflips haven't improved with time

Oh I will Ian definately, but best do it whilst still sober, its the Peterborough contingency ya know they make me drink alcohol

just one more single room left now at the victoria... other two just gone

Firstly could I please ask the mods to merge the two threads on this to prevent any further confusion. I would just like to echo Mandys words and the fact that tickets in the first instance for many, were purchased simply for the fact that it was the palais reunion. Any live act was the cherry on the cake. Ok so Little Anthony and the Imperials aint a no show now ... reading what the bassist wrote and perhaps reading between the lines, and only my opinion but me thinks it caused a massive buzz over here, with him mentioning media and radio coverage and appearances, that maybe pound or dollar signs perhaps began to role, and being inexperienced promotors maybe just maybe, LAI management made demands that couldnt be met (monetary ones) by people whom are just like us, your average punters, in this case, Andy and Tracy, and too echo the bassists own words again, genuine soul people who weren't promotors but did it for the right reasons and that was for the love of the music. Now I don't know Andy or Tracy we have never met (so don't be classing me as a mate answering for 'em Toad) But what I do know that in their posts what does come across, is a genuine healthy interest in the scene and its music, like the rest of us have, and I am not gonna slate anyone for that there is NO WAY that these two individuals set out to rip anyone off. If your gonna blame anyone blame me and Mandy, we were the ones who asked for it initially asking for promotors with big wallets way back when to stage a palais reunion, and it was Tracy whom answered our call, if ya like for want of a better word. So please don't be destroying two people like Andy and Tracy whom set out on this with the best will in the world and for all the right reasons, its not a sob story its the way it is guys and gals. But in agreement with several posts its time for Andy and Tracy to come on here now and make the official announcement as to wether the dayer is still going ahead one way or the other, before further speculation and accusation is posted. So sometime in the future LAI is going to appear in the UK according to the bassist, just a shame it wasn't this time around, without us having to pay double the amount like we will when 'the future date' is released and organised by obviously 'someone whom is experienced in the promotion business' .... Ahhh the strange world of northern soul continues to thrive amoung us. And lastly on a personal note to the one that sent me the pm... GROW UP GRUMPY BOLLOX.... Dawn

Absolutely the mutts nuts that one, could taste the atmosphere

well Im totally gutted I really am ... I thought it was someone pulling a scam!!!!!!!!!! Had some of the best times ever, saw it from conception and if it has to stop then they could have held it one last time this saturday .... I just had an email from Nick saying thats all BnB's were all booked up wtihin in a ten miles radius for this Saturday...FFS Im gutted

Is nothing sacred ?

anyone take a camcorder in?

Ok Give in its my copy

is it chuff Tim, leave it out, are ya still coming to the Palais then?? if ya are ya can buy me a slush puppie.

Me too Mand, its been a long time coming, just gonna be nice just to be inside the old place again, with its memories and like minded souls once again. Big respect and thanks to Andy and Tracy for this, whom without, Im sure, it wouldnt have happened. To have Ruby and Little Anthoney there too is the cherry on the cake as far as Im concerned. Keep up the good work Andy and Tracy, it will be an absolute brill day/nite. See you next month. xxx

Wanted from across the UK Many of you give away some fantastic anniversary /opening nights/special occasion CDs celebrating your clubs music. And I was thinking in order to help raise money for the Soul for Heroes charity if each club or gathering that has had or is having a, promotional/anniversary/celebration night., donated just one CD from around the UK we would have a fantastic and varied collection from the UK's soul scene to be able to put together and auction off to the highest bidder. It would be a one off eclectic mix of soul tastes from across the land and something I am sure someone, somewhere would like to own. If you can help by donating a CD please pm me and I'll send you my addy for further details about soul for heroes please click on the link below to take you to the thread. Many Thanks in anticipation Dawn /Dj-s-Stand-t87387.html
