My opinion on this subject and I must stress my humble opinion is that no dj on the northern scene can enhance the music being played by talking in between records telling the audience what label, what colour how much it cost to people who have turned out for a good time.In answering pow wow mik question i beleive the standard would most certainly improve the music would do the talking instead of the dj.a good DJ should should not give a club time to think wether it's 100mph set or a strong mid tempo set he should just be or try to be slightly ahead of the club ready to change direction if need be every time a record finishes and a DJ speaks it breaks the vibe it would certainly sort the wheat from the chaff because a dj would be appreciated for his spot and not for his particular records If people want to know a bit of history about Adj,s records I'm sure they could ask before his spot or after his spot Its the Soulies who matter it is them who part with their money. I am not decrying the soul anoraks here ino each one of you loves your music and you know your tunes I just think that their is a time and place for it not at clubs where people like their chemicals and alcohol. I repeat these are only my thoughts on the subject and I realise every body has their own views. GOD BLESS Mick L

Hi Rudzy.Northern Soul Boy n DJ and Rave MC nearly there what's next?done that hurry up I'm running out of time. I wouldn't change anything. Its been a great ride. God Bless Mick Lyons alias MC Warchief

The point made about taking a crowd on a journey is good one I did an article in Manifesto in the90's about the exact same thing with NS It should all be part of the magic of a night out that the Soulies can forget about the outside world for at least 60 minutes with a Dj,s set this somehow seems to have been forgotten or maybe no offence meant some DJ,s can't do it. a top record played taking the crowd one way then it might be another top record but going in a different direction which means in effect if that carries on the crowd has gone no where.The Dance scene of the 90's managed to do this until it lost its way. The journey can produce euphoria and make a good night a brilliant night and it's just my humble opinion that all d DJ,s should strive for that whatever the genre of music. I'll repeat what I've said many times before it's not the jokes it's the way you tell them. God Bless Mick Lyons

no offence Conchita never heard Norma Tanega played in any Soul Clubs I frequented in the 1960's and I visited plenty. God Bless Mick L

A excellent informative article with not the slightest hint a piss take of the soul scene. Mick L

The Soul Scene wether we like it or not is smelting pot of music, styles, progression, nostalgia, which as evolved over the last 50 years. Everyone involved with it be it dj,s Soulies has their own personal reasons for loving this scene, never lose track that a great many still love to party and if that means dressing up in a bit of retro gear that makes them feel good . Why question that. ? I know nobody or I would like to think that nobody wishes to steal people's happiness with some of the comments on here. Let's be careful out there and leave each to their own.to some people words can hurt. Peace ,Love and Tranquility. God Bless Mick Lyons

On a lighter note Aldi and Liddle do a Bootleg Shreddied wheat I beleive its a lot cheaper than John Manship,s and it's got its own label. Mick L
