Right, as a DJ aged only 16… I think pure and simply DJ needs to have passion and a reputation for playing a crowd-pleasing set, as that’s what is about I think, pleasing the crowd. Regardless of what anybody says OVO is the only way to play and there are some great classic original records you can pick up for under £20: Spyder Turner - I Can’t Make It Anymore, Dells - Make Sure, Jean Wells - What Have I Got to Lose, Garnett Mimms - Prove It To Me… When I get booked for a set, I want to get sets because the promoter has booked me for what I will play and how I would try and work the floor and for me, not because I am 16...

Got a friend chasing a NM or better copy of Betty Boo - Say It Isn't So - Grapevine issue or demo Please email me if you have a copy tom.page97@hotmail.com or PM me here, with details and price! Cheers, Tom

Well first of all, you wouldn't know me from Adam... Firstly I am not a keyboard enthusiast, I say what I think and I admit when I am wrong.... being of a "pensionable age" do you not think it sad you have to defend yourself against 16 year olds on the internet by trying to put them down? Now firstly, I do not even have spotify on any of my electronic devices, I don't even really do MP3's, I collect vinyl... Secondly, I think it takes a lot of courage to get on a stage in front of live television cameras and put something as underground and heart-felt as Northern Soul into the public media, I knew numerous young soulies who are very much on the scene and were dancing for the Pharrell Williams and did a bloody good job... Thirdly, I am by no means a 'Guru of Northern Soul' in no way am I an influential teacher of this music genre for starters, simply a young lad who has grew up in a very soulful home, with a DJ Dad and a Soulful Mum, I don't think anyone should be judged by who they are but I think I would like to mention in this case my lineage and the people I have grown up around, my Dad is one of the promoters for the Soul Essence weekender and I have grown up around a range of fantastic soul DJs, Collectors and just general faces with different musical tastes such as Soul Sam, Bob Jones, Terry Jones, John Pugh, Backdoor Kenny, Ken Onions, Bob Cosby, Dave Greet and my godfather Dave Thorley.... I think providing me somewhat with a discerning attitude to the northern scene I find quite frankly offensive you assume the first Northern record I heard was Pharrell Williams - Happy, which is by no means a Northern record, just a good soulful pop dance record... If you must know the first record that quite frankly 'did it' for me was Betty Wilson & The Four Bars - I'm Yours, the record was played at Rugby All-Nighter on my second visit there and I instantly fell in love with it, made whole body freeze and the hairs on my neck and arms stand on end... I first heard of Happy when my friend Levanna did a spoof-esque video on YouTube entitled "Northern Soul Girl Dances to HAPPY - Pharrell vs Northern Soul" which I imagine was the same way many people on the scene came to know the song... I suggest in future that you actually meet people and get to know them before you go on a childish “keyboard enthusiast” slag-off which is frankly just nasty and malicious.

Well Levanna from Bristol, who is very much not a professional dancer, has fantastic taste in music and very soulful was dancing for Pharrell.... Charlotte from Wigan, who too who is very much not a professional dancer and is also very soulful was dancing for Pharrell.... Lauren who came 3rd at Blackpool this year, who is also very much not a professional dancer and too is very soulful was dancing for Pharrell.... Not just about KTFing, it's about sharing it, sharing a passion....

IMHO, as a young soulie of 16 myself, the scene I LOVE, and many others love, for it to have any chance of surviving needs new blood, a load of whiney soul snob bastards with comments like "Where did it all go so, so wrong?!!" are never going to take this scene anywhere.... fresh, enthusiastic, music-loving kids (similar to a bunch of kids who went to an old casino club in Wigan in the 70's) who have discovered this fantastic sound of black American soul music, with a heavy beat to die for, and fast tempo.... Remember that first record that made the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end? They're are kids out there now, finding a euphoria with Northern Soul, some 50 years after teenagers first had it... Now if that's not the magic that will keep this scene going, I don't what is....
