Paul-s

Well, very interesting stuff. COULD YOU TELL US WHY ITS AN ANONYMOUS POST? You articulate 'young thing'.

These characters are now creating so many bad vibes, they themselves are receiving awful reputations. Jesus! I dont base my reputation on the 'Northern Soul scene'. 'Soul' is a pleasure thing for me, so i dont need a reputation! The only reputation I care about, is the one i have amongst my friends! Anyway, about Whitby.....? Constant digs are a For the scene's sake...can we all see the big and bigger picture and enjoy the last 40 years of Northern Soul....preferably as nice people. Thanks and Stay Well. Goldsoul 'investing in Northern Soul's future' OOH look at KR the philanthropist, he has eveyone's well being in mind! Nice people? Is that what sending threatening PM's to people is? Well, is so, then YOU are the very definition of 'Nice' Kev! Have a 'nice' day

Paul, why do you always use bold type or capitals? I'm sure you know the "shouting" inference, and e mail etiqutte?

Or were you talking about book quotes Adey?

Those quotes from punters were incredible though; 500 different ways of saying nothing.

THAT IS THE FUNNIEST THING IVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME. BRILLIANT...p-ss-ng myself!

Very well put.

Nasty mate. I have NEVER ripped anyone off on this scene...never will. PM's? I thought KR only used them to threaten people (remember Kirsty?)...theres nothing i need to hide in pm's.

HA! HA! HA! Good luch Stevoooo!

Fair enough Pete. But i do go out, alot, so maybe you understand why i would rather they vary it a bit.

mmmmmmm. I helped push 'our love is dying' by Kae Williams, over the last 3 years. Which is now a floor packer. Is it in Top 500 Got mine from the person with the master and permission.

ANSWERED THIS ON OTHER THREAD!

should be about £50/60...sound like Mick Jagger though 'Loosen up' is far better ...but far harder to find! Good Luck

Anyway....had enough now...poor old 'Attilla the Bun' is too eay a target and i just realised what good exposure this is for his senile drivel......so goodnight!

Guess some people remain the same Pete and others....well they .....grow...opening their hearts and souls to lifes many experiences and lots of great music...I didn't say they were bad tunes (im your pimp is sh-te though! ). I, myself, dont want to hear them every week, every year, forever more. I didn't do that back then , so why now! Familiarity breeds...? .......'the top 500'

Ive got one for sale £80

Seriously Pete. I have it on film. BUT, i put too much of my life into it, to sell it as a dvd. It was a live experience....same as a good nighter!

And no doubt most of the people slagging it off have never even read it. I own the first one ....THAT WAS ENOUGH! thanks. If you listen to records, cd's, go out and about, etc, you can get your own education.....its ALL out there. The book gives you KEVS 'education' and believe me, he's not the most articulate 'soul' i've ever met! When I read the first book, it doesn't have most of the stuff i liked and danced to then in it. BECAUSE? I had a mind and soul of my own, then and now. For f--ks sake are we 'soul sheep' baaaaaa!

Great reply. I'll add a little bit.The play was merely my perspective on an period in my life! No hidden agenda, top this, top that!! It was re -staged due to popular demand and then I decided it was enough. Various sides were trying to hi-jack it and wanted merchandise, dvd's, musicals etc. I could be a lot better off than i am now, if i had gone with some of that crap! Bolton ARE doing a musical of it! You see, I did it as a tribute not a business move. I didn't want it to become a parody of itself.....like a lot of the 'Northern Soul' scene sadly is today! Seeing it become a shite musical actually breaks my heart, same as hearing a tune i once liked, hammered week in and week out, until i cant stand hearing it! People like KR, Winstanley etc, who want to 'educate' us, are the there to perpetuate and often fabricate, the popular 'Heyday' myth. I was there and aswell as great stuff, a lot of shite was played, same as today! F--k educate, you've either got a soul or you haven't! I've met plenty of younger people on the scene who have far more 'soul' than the miserable bast--ds i have to listen to at a lot of nights, harpng on about the old days! These whining throwbacks weren't listening then and they dont listen now. Im convinced a lot of them dont even like 'music'. If i had the same business exploitation attitude as KR towards the scene, the play would never have stopped touring. I knew it was time to stop when people in the audience (having seen it a few times), started saying the lines with the actors! They weren't listening to them anymore. Get the analogy yet?

No, but ive been playing his incredible unissued version of Eric Mercury's 'Lonely Girl'! Top.

What Balls? Only ones I see , are 'MOTH BALLS' !
