Not a bad post eh

It happens a lot ,very sad really

After reading all the comments I know there is a lot of passion out there, and the comments are very varied and interesting. So thanks to all on ss

It's good to see a lot of passion still out there .there has been some excellent comments about the scene good and not so which is good.the tunes still do it for me .so let's still enjoy it

Good comments fella

Nothing like honesty ,and I totally agree some weekenders I've been to give the impression that as with your local pub you might be sitting in somebody's place that has sat there for a zillion years and they make you feel sod it I'm off .to many venues and not enough punters overkill ,but the drunks and like seem to like it ,that's what I hear from friends up and down the country.but when you go to a class event it makes up for it but we never have a crap night at home just good tunes and mates no eyebrow frown looks and piss heads arguing drinks all over the so called newly sanded refurbished floor like the one at King power they swapped a perfectly excellent wooden floor for industrial lino,crap and closed after 5yrs became as fitzy said some racist comment .After all that glad I'm staying in and saving my hotel money phew

Can't move this to wants,want doesn't come up on select list

Dean Courtney, thanks

Thanks kathryn, I like your comments because it seems to echo a lot of the scene how it is now ,but at least it's stood the test of time and I hope as others do its keeps rolling along ,now time to buy some tunes

Hi I'm just enquiring about how ss members still feel about the northern scene from venues etc. I speak from 40 odd yrs in the scene and the changes have been enormous such as not so many nighters but more club/pub doos.this is not a complaint just a observation, a few friends we know us included have more soul nights at home where we play our tunes and talk about yesterday's.we live in the Staffordshire area and we used to go to venues nearly every weekend but have scaled it back now due to when we find a venue that suites us it generally closes at some point .some of the venues haven't felt friendly or welcoming this is what us and our friends have felt.i know this is still a absolute fantastic genre to be in and hope it plays on forever, any thoughts out there ,and has anybody seen changes that have improved or not this music scene .

I keep tryin

Sorry to hear about this Ted.i hate thieves I would cut there hand off like the Arabs do scum low life nomarks

I've just been informed that the silk mill in leek that holds the soul club is closed permanently very sad news ,I hope Mel goes on to better things

Cheers fella

We are going to Egypt and wondered if there are any soul clubs or bars in hurghada area.any info would be helpful

What sad news ,and what a voice RIP soulman
