Since when did a "Scene" ever require unity and a few central venues? The punk, mod, Goth, Rockabilly, Phyco Billy "Scenes" never did? Was never any sort of 'billy'...maybe a silly billy But have to disagree on Punk...i was there and there were central venues in North and South......Electric Circus, Cambden Roundhouse, Manchester Apollo etc, etc....and there was a momentary Unity, just as there was with the 'Northern Scene' 71 - 79ish. And yes, if you want to describe travelling with a few friends , being silly and dancing , loving music etc as a scene...you can. Its realy semiotics then. .. I took the original question in the context of what SCENE existed originally. I have a scene in my front room playing tunes to makes and having a laugh, but I dont think he was asking that question.... There were small nights all over the UK in the 70s BUT we used to collectively travel to Wigan, St Ives etc and feel a sense of unity, the small nights inspired people to hang on until the next big nighter and from that arose a sense of freedom and a momentary empowerment (escape from my shit estate and prospects!). Only my opinion and my experience, not saying thats the way it is for you...BUT it is for me.

HARMONICS - Be Your Man Seventy 7 m- £250 absolute class dancer and hard to find! SOLD

What scene? There is no scene, just a lot of people who can no longer be bothered travelling and so have started their own local nights where they can have a drink and play a few tunes with their mates! The will and energy no longer exists for a scene. I actually know from travelling and going out that there is only a very small group of people who travel regularly and are truly inspired by music...FACT! A scene requires unity and a few central venues with inspiring djs and inspired punters and eclectic and holistic promoters. BUT such is the battle for supremecy with the larger venues (lifeline not included) and such is the promoters egocentric approach to promoting, that the scene is fractured and there is absolutely no desire amongst these large promoters to integrate! I never see them out and about at venues...integrating. Encouraging or inspiring. Just look at how many venue date clashes we have going on....their is no scene. Im a 'soul' , honest and true and proud to be just that...i was a part of a scene in the 70s and 80s, but those times are long gone and will never return.....so, its time to enjoy whats out there and keep it in context not compare it to something it can never be....move on and enjoy the small, honest nights that are run by people with heart and soul and no financial or manipulative agenda....keep your own faith!

Quick sale CAN WE TRY LOVE AGAIN - Kool Blues....m- Cap soul £250 (no paypal, cash only) A sublime piece of mid tempo soul thats not around anymore....and wont be! SOLD

Wow, you must go to better events than me. The ones i seem to end up at, you cant hear the lyrics on the record, never mind the dj!

Dont really understand....go to Wilton, or retrospectively the North had Soul or Nothing (still has) or DDA. Three Greyhounds, Greatstone?! etc, All playing unknown , rare, cheap/expensive and semi-unknown stuff. Everytime ive been to Southern events, 100 club, Bedford, etc, its an oldies night to me. Its not really a location thing, its a dj and punter thing and both the North and Southern have clubs that are Oldies clubs and vice versa. I do think its a fact that Southern soul fans, particularly Londoners, think they are cutting edge, when really they aren't and need to get travelling more (not just Ken!see him everywhere! ) and not just to big nighters twice a year....and also, need to book a broader and more adventurous range of dj's, not just their mates, or the same old same old! Lastly what the f--k is Northern Soul? a misnomer i think. Peace across the borders...

CAN WE TRY LOVE AGAIN - Kool Blues m- Cap soul (one of the very best tunes to come out of DDA) Just not around any more. OFFERS over £300 PM or 07880787706

NO, Dont tell him. This guy is obviously intent on glamourising Levine even more. By answering his banal questions (he wiil, of course, need to quote the meaning of banal now , because he is so banal! ), we keep Levine around. Hes gone, has been since 81, so let a sleeping Whale lie in peace. This site and music in general is better of without him and his poptastic remixes and home video effects.
