That does make sense having now also seen the ad on their web site for Prestatyn Motown Legends in April. The "branding" of the event under the Midnight Hour badge, long associated with the Northern & Motown events is what led me to believe it was the same event that I have attended previously. I'm just a confused customer ! The midnight hour crew are delighted to welcome William Hicks' Soul Satisfaction to the Motown Legend's weekend! Non-stop music all weekend!

Just had the research department on this one........ It may be a totally different format to the 3 previous Motown Legends events I've attended, don't know how well the scans come out but "2 Traditional Northern Soul All Nighters and an All Dayer" seems pretty specific marketing to me. I hope they don't inadvertently cut and paste that lot or they may end up appealing to the people they aint apparently targetting The original point I was trying to make, was that in a limited "niche" market, to deny your previous customers the opportunity to give you their money again, is dim. Together with others who I know attended and enjoyed the (very Northern Soul focussed) Motown Weekends, we'll opt for Cleethorpes if we have to choose - hence the no brainer tag. Again, just think at best it's dim and Everton got beat so I've got the hump. Nother memo to self, get that cheque to Ady double pronto coz if we don't get in at Cleethorpes looks like we'll be a rockin and a rollin ! Bee bop a lula............................ Taff

Surely ? So it won't be promoted heavily at the forthcoming Prestatyn event then, OK. Taff

Perhaps...... Just seems dim at best. Would they not be better served by giving those that enjoy northern soul and Motown the opportunity to attend ? Taff

Finger on the pulse again Pontins !!! Erm isn't there a slightly better etablished, must do weekender happening around that time ?

Went back and watched the very end of the movie (fell into a near death, trance the first time) up come scenes of the Casino and the usual dancing and backdrop sequences. Absolutely sod all to do with the plot if ever there was one in the first place. Then as the credits roll they reach the music advisor / consultant, whatever bit..........Kev Roberts, ahh mystery solved methinks. I think this film highlights the massive potential for far better marketing and awareness of our music by association with similar products of high repute or artistic merit. The Fred West story, is another feel-good britcom / romcom film just crying out for a Northern soundtrack. I reckon Northern Haemorrhoid Cream, would be a winner as well. "When your ring is just too itchy, reach for Northern, the Cream that brings smiles to your piles" (9 out of 10 DJs recommend it? cue pictures of 9 smiling Northern jocks and one with a strange pained expression) With prime time telly adverts backed by Northern jingles, we'll have sold out signs at venues all over the country. .......I'm going back to my Mail on Sunday before this turns into a rant. Taff

Same here, I had no idea what it was when I got it.... amazed when the first track kicked in and thought this could be brilliant, then slowly as more and more classic northern played against a backdrop (unintentional that one) of dire acting, script, dialogue, unfunny "humour" and dire anything else that goes into making a film - just embarrassment that our music has been tacked on to such an appallingly bad movie for no apparent reason. The censor should have banned it for gratituous use of Northern or they could have used a Modern Soul and Northern Funk soundtrack which would seem appropriate ! Pete, before you watch, make absolutely sure you have nothing else remotely useful you could be doing with your life. It really is that bad. Taff

It would seem I'm not alone in thinking this film stinks, despite the soundtrack,not a good association methinks. Line taken from Orange Film Review. "it is equally true that the soundtrack is packed with stone cold classic Northern Soul tunes. But on every other conceivable level, watching this film is like having to eat a cotton wool, tin foil and gravel sandwich." Hmm not good then ! Link for full review Orange Film Review Taff

Has anyone seen the new film "All Together" Film 4 production, supposed to be a comedy? with Danny Dyer & Martin Freeman. Total Northern soundtrack, Martin Freeman co starring running around in a Wigan All Nighter T shirt and riding a Lammy. Absolute cack film though - how did our music end up in this hell hole ? The plague and avoid like, should always be used when discussing this turkey ! Link to review and pic below. All Together Pic & Review

Southend last night, choice - Heartbeat, Songs of Praise and I'm a celebrity X factor big brother gone dancing twaddle v Temps and 4 Tops. They mullered a couple (particularly Tops, something about you, eh whossat the Korean version ????) They pratted about cabaret style once or twice (wave your mobile phone in the air, ehh nahhh !!!) They played the audience like pros, gerrup and dance to this (result a "standing" ovation) They did that uneccessary Heatwave thang that someone mentioned earlier They were brilliant. Taff
