Also well worth a mention is Brad & Breck's, Ann Arbor Soul Club nights, just outside Detroit. First Saturday of the month, at the Blind Pig in downtown. Usually gets between, 150-300 in depending on term time (Collage town). They have guest DJ's from all over the U.S., plus the odd European guest from time to time. Cool mix of R&B, Classic Northern, Funk & Modern

Here's a couple I'm at in the next month, One in Italy and one in Norway. So as you can see things are very healthy in europe. As well as this there is the Fantastic Hamburg weekend in October and The 'Movin' On weekender in December, both of these have DJ's like Butch and Lars, with the addition of Soul Sam & Malayka in Spain, and Marc Forrest in Hamburg

Don't think it was ever booted, Bob A. maybe able to tell you more. The also had another release on the label as The Professionals

Thanks to Bob for clearing that up, so the flip is the same No Bob is saying the flip 'Girl Chooses the boy' is the same, but the Green labeled WYGDN, is a different mix to Yellow and red

Agree with Steve on a few points here. Clapping was in the latter years and whats with 50 somethings in the dance scene, we might be now, but we weren't then, when the film is based. Also what's with girls in white short 'Bobby Socks'. That is from the early 80's, oldies revival scene, never in the mid 70's. A fair few of the female pretty things in full length evening dresses, never saw that at Wigan, working class girls in 'Maxi length, bib and brace' style dresses maybe. Lastly thought the male outfits pretty good, but kecks were never that short. All in all think though, Elaine is doing a fab job.

Good question Matt, don't have both to compare

No Ian, this was for myself. Was thinking some fava beans and nice chianti, should go down a treat

That's OK, i'm not fussy

I'm interested in your kidney, PM me details
