Hmmmm, that veered off a bit really??? Ours is an 'Oldies' night, I don't want to hear or play RnB or Modern, but that is my approach. My memory isn't the best so I play what I can remember and not what is new. In fact someone posted a record to me on facebook claiming it was new and current ....JJ Barnes, Show me the way????? This goes to show the knowledge of some of the people who are now in the scene. As for top dj's, we had Dave Evison on this month still no top dancers.

Its not a local club though. It will fit 200 in but struggling due to covid. 100 club a long way off to see any decent dancers. We have one of the founders of 100 club go to ours. Its a pity it has turned so elitist. Perhaps some ought to get out and about and show people how its done ...its about the music and keeping the faith in that?

Im probably going to get slagged off by 100s of soulies, but im 64 yr old, so what the hell !!!! I got out of the norther scene about 15yrs ago.. politics etc???? I've just set up a new gig over the last 3 years, Bury Soul Club (couldnt have picked a worse time with Covid eh ha ha). Anyhow iv noticed the scene seems to have changed and a lot of 'attendees' appear to be newbies dancing to a lot of crossover n modern but dont seem to know the oldies. In fact the other end of the spectrum appear to be 'wheelies' and dress up like mods dancing to old RnB. My question is.....'where have all the good dancers gone. Do they all just go to all niters, or has it all gone underground? I constantly watch youtube videos of gigs in the 70's and 80's and see so many good dancers. Yes we all say We are getting on a bit', and i dont expect backdrops n high kicks etc but there doesnt appear to be anyone left who can 'just feel it and do it'. Please, im not being condescending, im just curious and wonder if i have come back into this too late?
