Hiya Steve

Seen him a couple of time's recently, goe's to Lowton..

Karen

Loved it, but as people rightly say, gotta move on if not for ourselves, for the scene as a whole. just a thought can you imagine if the health&safety laws of today were in place then, barrier control on the road, clean toilets, fixed roof, attendance guidlines, pie`s changed everyweek,smoking laws, imagine 500 people stood outside smoking, yuk yuk yuk to me its things like this that made the place, some of the best nights ive had have been in run down dilapidated sh*T holes

Ahh me old mate Harry - those were the day's weren't they n toilet's like I've never seen since oh n the pushing n shoving with your holdall going in one direction n your body in another. Vicky Baine's (never liked it myself) but you did along with Cecil Washington.. alway's reminded me of you... oh n the Museum garden's after... wouldn't change any of it for nothing...

Sweet memorie's...

Towanda B agree can be a hard one - but managed it a few time's... Chandler's can see why listed in this thread - but managed the break by keeping the beat in my head n turning round to it..

Quite a few old stomper's listed that I had endless fun on the dance floor too... seeing who could keep going to the end:D

For me I've alway's found "Greater Experience - Don't forget to remember" an odd beat to dance too..

hello and thank you!

have got loads done in tha last few days... and had more planned, but that's gone out the window now!

thanks fro fixing it, love you Mike x

Same here Kirsty - thing's started to get done n found myself being organised n actually working again... now where did I find the time to go on ss these past few year's..

Really appreciate the effort n hours of hard work you put into the site.. thanks Mike..

Hi Karen

Anything that you would like to donate would be great, though am just happy if you bought some raffle tickets, have got some absolutely fab prizes, so the more tickets I can sell the better.

Hope you are keeping well, long time no see, have still got your socks

Kx

Hope to be keeping well soon - on my 3rd Chest Infection in as many month's at mo Course I'll have some raffle ticket's n should have sorted some prize's out by Friday for Lowton ....

Not sure how you ended up with my sock's but ta anyway's - should be at York, so see you there....

Karen

Louis Paul - The change would do you good - Intro...

Best ender for me - Steve (Green) set - few Burnley's ago... Awesome

Karen

not as good as me and dave belly dancin

How about a video clip John, just so we can judge for ourselve's - or even better a live performance if your at Lowton tonite.

Great pair leg's Jame's..

Karen

I'd love to donate Kirsty not sure what at the mo but will get my thinking cap on - I'll call you if I get stuck for Idea's...

A charity which seem's dear to a lot of people n who's live's have been touched by Cancer. I lost my mum to lung cancer 10 yrs ago within 9 months of it having being diagnosed...

take care

Karen

Tbh Chalky don't mind never have - but as asked for preference - mine would be Friday for an all-niter - but no probs doing a Saturday - infact quite often do both...

Hi Carm's - your question made me laugh In all the years I've done niter's, it's never crossed my mind - course niter people have a sex life why shouldn't they.... potential for a new thread maybe..

Karen

Mr jonny beggs likes to play alot of latin toons & the dance floor always fills up

He certainly doe's Ang and some mighty fine Latin tune's at that, what an awesome set he did at Bidd's, which included some of his new find's

Karen

i have never been a lover of talc on the dance floor but i always have a bar of soap in my bag incase, not very often i use it though

That's handy to know Ang, incase I forget mine..

Hoping to see you both tonite..

Karen

I have happily moved on having gone to the Casino in the late 70's the "Poppy" yrs - (Steve) I can honestly say that no other venue has ever come close for the atmosphere - Main hall something else - stomping in "Mr M's sweat drippin' from ceiling" the big extended family which is still here today, the queuing, pushing with bag in one direction n you another.

My most nostalgic memory is closing my eye's for half an hour on M's Balcony n awakening to the intro of "Ronnie & Robyn" - what is there left to say.......

Karen

What underplayed (or overplayed) oldie can envisage overtaking the status of 'Pure Soul Ballad' as such is Tony Middleton's immortal 'Paris Blues'? Is this the best record you've ever heard or what. Both the vocals and backing are monumental!! Nothing can touch this.

Nope.. tho not Soul Ballard ... Milton Jame's - (Indie music) n all time classic .. Gwen Owen's - (contain's everything)

Karen

Name at least three (and that would last only the max. 9 mins at a soul do)!!

Mine would be -

Al William's - I am nothing

Al William's - Try them

Masqueraders - How

Karen

Don 't think the quality is disputed, except by Col Just disputing the comment that there's nothing better...Sam Williams is far better record IMHO.

I also like "The Ohio Player's" version - tho Sam William's the best version of the two...

Karen

To The Ends Of The Earth is better than Paris Blues, and I love both of them

Agree Love them both too... remind's me of after niter session's in the Museum garden's when I was a wee girl...

Karen

Whos Gunna Carry The Soul Scene On?

Here's a surprise - I don't give a f**k who's gonna carry The soul scene on - I'm just so grateful I've had the pleasure of 30 yrs listening, dancing n collecting the music...

Remember in my early 20's people saying "can't imagine us dancing n collecting in our 30's n most definately not in our 40's n here we all are Can't really think of another scene that has stayed alive n so fresh as the Northern scene, but regardless TODAY is what matter's not the future - who know's what that hold's - so I'm just gonna get on n enjoy it - some seem to have nothing better to do in their live's than mull over the same old same old ....

Karen

just had a message that not avail from amazon

to save anyone wasting time, ask can anyone confirm ?

Mike, just ordered one today from Amazon - hope that confirm's.

Karen

well thats telling me lol i wouldnt wear heels in the bed room lol but thought i would ask as when i dont wear baggies i get asked why thats really why i asked not sure anymore ah sod in the bin they go

.

Wasn't sure if it was a wind up or serious question tbh, great sense of humor..

Though I'm surprised you get asked why you don't wear baggies when in jean's as that's today's fashion, I've never been asked why I don't wear the Full circle skirt's, white ankle sock's n moccasan shoe's I used to wear, when baggies were the fashion 30 yrs ago... Wouldn't ask if I should or shouldn't wear heal's in the bedroom I'd just wear em you should do the same...... mean the baggies not the heel's If that's what you really prefer and feel comfey with...

Karen

baggies sould we or should we not wear um

im 4? not telling you age i have to addmit i wear um but as i look around the venues i go to less folks are wearing them i attend a venue once wearing a pair of jeans and i was taken the p*** out of for doing so all done in the best possible taste i might add but i do like to wear baggies so here is the delemor to wear or not to are they still exceptable i feel comfitable in mine but are they on the way out i dont think wearing them makes me anymore of a soulie than a person wearing jeans but for the moment i will wear um but just thought i ask other on the scean what there thoughts are .... by the way im 48 yrs young

Not sure if your genuine in your post - if serious - unsure why you want to ask such a question... same as If I posted should we or should we not wear heel's in the bedroom come's down to the same answer - nothing to do with anyone else, down to personal choice and do you really care what anyone else think's... just do what you want and be true to yourself.....

My personal opinion on baggie's ... well put it this way - I loved wearing my red hot pant's in 1976 - but would never dream of wearing them in 2007...

Karen

Would love to see "Darrow Fletcher" again. Saw him at Cleethorpes n he just blew me away - especially with the awesome "What have I got now" the emotion n passion he portrayed in his voice and expression said it all. Some said he looked very nervous, which is understandable under the circumstance's - but that only made his performance all the more special n important in my eye's..... Let's see him again please.....

Ronnie Walker - what a voice, he is something else - thankfully Chris got him back to perform again - so can't wait for that....

My ultimate dream would be, "Baron's of Soul" performing live in a small, intimate venue for my pleasure only......

Ok I'd share n let everyone else have the pleasure too.. Just one small problem only half of the group are living ..... so dosen't quite fall in either category ...

Karen

I alway's check out dancefloor - very important - second to the DJ line up of course, as the music is what I'm there for 1st n foremost...

Must admit my style of dancin' has changed in past 10 yrs - used to love slippy - always had talc - but only put in corner of dance floor, so it didn't go everywhere, unlike a few dancer's these day's.. drives me mad n a selfish thing to do...

Now I prefer sticky, it's always handy when there's carpet around the dance floor, cause if the floor ends up covered in talc I can dance on the carpet, which I love to do anyway...

"The Fox" had a brilliant dance floor with carpet n "Ye old Bell Inn" the same ( Life Line venue's) - "Burnley" too, DDA to the right handside is good for dancing, the left side find's Paul in a sea of talc Lowton main room n Bidds too. Keele was just a sea of talc - from the record bar looked like the floor was white, just couldn't stand up...

The answer talc for sticky n a bar of soap for slippy...

Karen

Thanks for the great info guys.

Here is the record.

It's f*cking terrible. Listen to the out of tune strings right at the end.

Not that good then - I recommend removal of strings n Tra la la girlie backing - maybe try n speed up + 1 or 2 may improve it slightly but doubt

Interested to know how much you get for it...

best

Karen

One of my top wants came this morning.

I had just bundled the kids in the car, when I saw the postie pull into the road. As he was opeing his boot getting bundles of letters out I legged (well I mean jiggled) over to him as I saw a record shaped package in his hand. I duly signed for it and then had to put it in the car as I drove the kids to school, and then round to playgroup. After having a friendly gossip with a few Mums (well getting collared for some money for a collection), I raced back - opened the parcel and put it on the deck LOUD. Heaven enveloped me....

The record in question is The Fantastics - Where Theres A Will

I'm still throbbing with delight

Kirsty your a very lucky girl .... I'm really happy you managed to get a copy - tho openly admit to being jealous..

C ya soon

Karen

Hi Pete

Don't know if it'll help - Andy Walko who runs the texassoulrecordings.com site maybe able to put you in contact with someone to advise re: value etc.. andy@texassoulrecordings.com

Only 8 releases on the label tho texas site states 7 - maybe cause 103 & 104 are same record - 1st n 2nd release...

Don't understand why numbering duplicated though : ie "Soul Smoochers" - Since I met you baby (101) & Black pepper inst (101) / "Soul of Georgia" - Kiss n Run (102) & You better move on (102) " Eddie Gale" & 2 out of 3 releases by "Those guy's" are all (103)....

What does the Kiss n Run sound like - tbh "You better move on" not really my taste - but you've obviously seen the guide price so you maybe lucky with the K & R....

Regards

Karen

Karen if your at the next Boomerang night at the Canal Tavern Thorne on Nov 10th, i`ll play it for you

Dave f............
