I watched No Other Land last night - if you haven't already seen it, it's strong, powerful & WELL worth watching.

I have a few friends who have had treatment for prostate cancer - all got through it successfully apart from one. A good few years ago, one of my close friends knew that her husband had a problem. She'd tried for months on end to reason with him - begged & pleaded - cajoled - nagged & bullied him to see the doctor, but he refused outright - head buried very deeply in the sand - until it was far too late & he was way beyond treatment. He spent his final days being cared for in a hospice. Very sad, heart-breaking story, but there's a lesson to be learned here guys - look after yourselves & please don't leave it too late to seek help! My heart goes out to anyone living with this or any other form of cancer.

AI re-writing the History of Northern Soul
Kathryn Magson replied to Paul-s's topic in All About the SOUL
To me, AI will always look like some "plastic" creation - it will never be able to replicate the buzz that we all felt when en route to an all-nighter........ the sweat running down the walls of some grubby old cellar with the music bouncing off the walls..... that gritty atmosphere that we all remember so fondly.....walking out on a Sunday morning blinking in the sunlight (or shivering in the cold!) with the music still ringing in our ears........AI will never - ever - be able to do that! -
Nice to meet you too Cherise xx

What a cracking night at The Harold! The room was buzzing from the get go - the DJs all played storming sets & kept the dance floor busy all night. Well done guys - you nailed it! Great to see lots of new faces, with people saying that The Harold had been recommended to them by some of our regulars. Thanks for the recommendation guys - it's much appreciated! Thanks too to the hard-working bar staff - rushed off their feet as usual. Feedback from around the room was all very positive - everyone seemed to have a great night & the new faces all said they will definitely be back. Roll on Friday 21st March. when our guest DJ will be Shirley Stevenson (Nottingham) will be joining us for a guest spot.

I went there a few times but mostly went to The Wheel. Can't see any faces I recognise but it was SO many years ago! You're right Rick - they all do look to be having a good time...some big eyes there...

Looking forward to hearing the tunes the DJs have in store for us this month! Bring it on guys........

I was at The Twisted Wheel most weekends from 1966-70 & saw some brilliant bands there - way too many to list them all! The Drifters. Junior Walker, Ike & Tina, Root & Jenny Jackson, Oscar Tony Jr, Jimmy James, J.J. Jackson, Jimmy Ruffin, Jamo Thomas, Bandwagon, Flamingos..........that's just off the top of my head - I could go on forever! I tried a few other clubs - Golden Disc in Keighley - Plebs in Halifax - Birdtrap in Burnley - String o Beads in Bradford to name just a few - but the Wheel was always favourite. Happy days - we didn't realise at the time just how lucky we were!

Sad news - I met Tommy a few times & he was always such a lovely man - one of life's nice guys & a proper gent. RIP Tommy & thank you for the music xx

If you were a young Mod back in those heady days of the 1960s - or maybe you just feel you missed out on a fab time - then this is definitely the night for you! DJs Joe Tucker (3 Keys Mod Weekender, Skegness): Steve Crawshaw (Cooper's Bar, Guiseley & Cross Keys, Knaresborough) plus Soul Brew's very own Marc Silverside will be spinning the vinyl to take us all back to our teenage years. They will be keeping that dance floor busy with a selection of Mod/Motown dancers, 60s club soul & R&B, with maybe a touch of ska & reggae thrown into the mix too! If you have good memories of places such as Manchester's Twisted Wheel - Bradford's Hole in The Wall; String-o-Beads: Heartbeat; Pack Horse & Market Tavern - The Plebs, Vic Lounge & Upper George in Halifax - you really won't want to miss this one! Mod gear optional! The Harold's got it all - a warm welcome & fab, friendly atmosphere; great sound system with request-friendly DJs - if they've got it with them, they'll play it for you! There's a top-notch dance floor with absolutely no need at all for talc; bar prices at WMC rates; large car park & good transport links. It's situated on the main road, with easy access from Chain Bar Roundabout, regular busses from Bradford, Brighouse, Leeds & Huddersfield & it's also close to Low Moor train station. There's even a nice hotel (The Guide Post) less than 10 mins walk away for those who fancy making a weekend of it! We tend to limit numbers to 120 max in order to make sure everyone has a seat & also a space on a not-too-crowded dance floor, so please be early to avoid disappointment.

Is anyone watching Virdee on BBC1? All filmed in Bradford (my home city) & it's interesting to see all those familiar locations on the telly! Doesn't do much for Bradford's already tarnished reputation, but it's well worth a look!

Kathryn Magson replied to Bukem's topic in All About the SOUL
Never could resist a challenge so I just googled the lyrics Bukem - I think you might be looking for One Kiss Away by Billy Ocean. Hope this helps!- 5 comments
