Winsford Soul

Thats just made a sad man glad. Thanks Steve

Bit of advice for what its worth. Dont give a FCUK what other people like and dislike. Like what you want and enjoy it. Life is to short Steve

Andy. I travel over 3 mins to get to Middleton. That count Steve

Joe. Could,nt agree more. Ask the lonely is the greatest song ever recorded on motown. And Levi,s voice was just pure emotion. RIP. The world is a sadder place for the passing of a legend among legends. Steve

Shit. I forgot Steve

Nev. I am the S.A.S. Stephen Anthony Smith. Dont tell anyone I dont know who the soul police are just heard them mentioned on here a lot. Steve

Hank. The 2000 one is a geniune Val issue anyway. But it may not be ok for all the SOUL POLICE on here. Check with them first Steve

Cookie. When i first met all the Irish lads about 10 maybe 12 years back when they where all young kids ( still are ) they didnt know oldies as such. They knew and owned a lot of the stuff that was getting played on the scene back then but where gobsmacked at oldies like what you listed. They took it all in there stride, embraced it and loved them for what they are "class soul records" They now have most of the stuff in there own collections. Unless they,ve moved them on for some of there rare stuff. The point to all this is they had and still have a willingness to accept the whole package of northern soul without sticking it in to different rooms. Modern, R&B etc etc. Its all part and parcel of what makes it what it is. If your gonna go out and moan about the music.Think first Dont forget you may have heard a certain record last time you went anywhere but i bet there,s loads saying i aint heard that record for years. PS. How you doin ? Steve

Best ones i ever seen was those from the Cricketer nighters in Wigan late 80,s early 90,s post card size one was a reproduction poster of when Betty Wright was live at Wigan another was of a little black kid in a ghetto with no shoes on. R.E Gil Scott Heron the Bottle. The only other one i can remember was a old cricketer with a bat in hand. I,m sure someone on here will have scans available. Steve

Phil. I got into it properly when 2 of my fav nighters closed in the same year. Bretby and Tony,s and Winsford was heading the same way and i couldnt stand the thought of losing another nighter so i was asked to help run the place. With going everywhere at the time and knowing loads of people i thought i could help turn its fortune round which to my delight i helped do, not without considerable expense i may add doing hundreds of miles most weekends putting out flyers , checking out DJ.s etc . I never made any profit out of Winsford when you take into account all the previous things i,ve mentioned. So why did i do it. Love of Northern soul. pure and simple. Steve

Following on from the popular what you have bought thread thought i would try this from the other point of view. I,ve just recently sold Tony Middleton. Return to spanish harlem. Speed David Coleman. Drown my heart. Barry Lonnie Lester. You cant go. Nu tone Sam & Kitty. Your money my love. Four brothers. Steve

Got 2 tickets So just a big thanks to all the offers i had when i posted originally saying i was gutted that i had missed out. Steve
