You know like we have unwritten laws on the scene like not spillin' ale on the dancefloor type thing then why not ban everyone but the dj and say the promoter on stage at any one time,kinell its like a sinkin ship on there sometimes,you don't know who's bloody who.

It's like lots have been sayin that there is a large percentage of not ya regular hardcore soulies attending this type of event.

Used the camera outdoors in maybe not the best of weather,even early moring dew type thing and then used at a night do and the pics come out covered in spots,a might disappointing if you know what I mean. So,got some digi camera lense cleaners,look like cotton buds,always clean the lense before night use and hey presto,crackin'pics. As for people mindin',ya jokin man,lets face it most of us on the scene were once posers and still are,wouldn't be the only one on the floor sometimes if we weren't Also visit Eddies soul site and Dave "snapper Ledham's pics,cheers,John.

Forget the fella's name now,sold soul/northern records in the new indoor market in Llandudno's mostyn street and went to Mr Paul's in Rhyl to by Benn's,brutus and Pigalle shirts and wrangler jeans,went down the Palace in Rhyl (not for the feint hearted),think I saw Ritchie Andrew and fellons there,sorry for goin slightly off subject,oh and you could have your DM's re- soled(no pun intended) at Briggs in Colwyn Bay.

Yep the Colwyn bay pier pavilion was named Dixieland,went there as an alternative to Paynes or Winter gardems in Llandudno,we are talking early seventies,mixed bag of music,some northen some top twenty stuff and also live heavy bands for some strange reason. Loads of scrapping goin on! Went to have a look at the old place last year....dancefloor has bits of hardboard nailed over several holes,there is a large hole in the stained glass roof,totally f*cked in my opinion,very sad,still, happy memories! Oh and no never went to the alldayers,why, I don't remember,Chico and Mark Bicknell are the guy's to ask.

Well said John,is there a new bootleg guide due?,had mine for years now,saved a few red faces I'll say,what would the scene do without your guides,nice one.

I'll start off with the Fi-dels

Crackin' doublesider,wouldn't part with my demo copy...............is this an issue or demo?

DuSHONS / YOU BETTER THINK IT OVER / GOLDEN GATE M- £25.00 What a bargain,got one already or I'd snap it up

eh???????????????????

Thanks chaps,new it wasn't gonna be easy

Just started categorising my collection into which part of the USA they originate from. Now apart from the obvious, reading record labels and or checking Mr Manship's site aswell as music styles akin to certain areas, wondered if it is ever possible to acheive 100% on this and also any of you anoraks out there can throw up any tips here.

A good read for the youngsters in todays northern scene which relates fairly well to this thread has been written by a guy on the scene who is about my age and who's time on the scene has followed a very similar pattern to mine. His pen name is Maxwell Murray and the book is titled CRACKIN UP and is published by Moonshine Fiction.

Whatdya mean FUTURE?
