Got to be, Carstairs & James Fountain, then came along Mr Gil Scott Heron, these changed the style & direction of Northern IMVHO & I loved it but there was still a couple of stompy types that stand out in Sidney Barnes- I hurt on the other side & although people would sooner kiss a cows arse than admit they liked or danced to it, Baltimore & Ohio Marching Band's - Condition Red, which was massive & filled the floor, although of course I never did, now where's that cow gone? Take care,be safe & Don't lie you know you liked it, Spot.

Hi people got a friend who's not on here & he's after a nice copy of Sandy Hadley - Since I found a love - So-Char, so give me a pm if you got one , with condition & price & if poss a scan. Cheers, Spot.

Hi all it's me again asking for 45's on behalf of mates, this time I'm after a mint or E copy of Exportations - I want you - Viro, drop me a pm if you got one for a reasonable price. Cheers, Spot.

Will have to try that "New Concept" thing one day but I don't get out & about much & by the way Tezza, learn to spell m8 . I just hit the link but as soon as I read the words "Soul clothing & Bowling shirt's" I'm afraid I knew exactly what it would & wouldn't be offering so made a hasty retreat, as I usually do from the Midoldieslands. Have to admit the only place I'd travel down there to at present would be the Attic, can't vouch for Willington as not been yet, sorry Den & Rob, one day we'll make it, promise. Take care, be safe & remember, "Baggies are so 1970's darling", Spot.

I just hope they get it right for a change & don't make us all look like "Thick Northern Git's" stuck in dead end job's & totally drug addled at the weekend's. "This England" & most other thing's seem to look for the person with the Broadest accent & most mundane job this side of Watford Gap to portray us all, also why only Wigan casino?? We travelled miles around the country to Blackpool Mecca, Cleethorpes Pier & Wintergardens & even down to St.Ives. This rose tinted "Wigan was the centre of Northern Soul" sh**e gets right up my nose, cos it wasn't & we only missed a few. I just hope they don't make a pigs ear of it or make it look that commercial that we end up with all & sundry coming for a look like 74 onwards. Take care, be safe & "May your God go with you", Spot.

More like, "No pissing up our back", what ever happened to his Uncle "Miami Bob" the Soul searching music guru of all the music broken on the scene, via the Casino?? I remember it as somewhere to go on the way home from the Mecca that resembled a skip but with good mates, good atmosphere & a great dancefloor, they'll never be able to recreate it, THANK GOD!!! Take care, be safe & remember,"Always bathe after the Casino,if only to remove the nicotine, makes sense you know", Spot.

Blake, I thought the slow Ty Karim was actually "Lightin up"? Seem to remember seeing it on a label spelt like that but could be wrong. Spot.

Shit Tezza now I know why nobody talks to me & avoids eye contact at all cost, it's cos of you, you swine you & by the way I'm on nothing more than a Sherbet Dib-Dab & a packet of Lovehearts, as well you know. Take care,be safe & "Meet me on the corner when the lights are coming on & I'll be there, I promise I'll be there", Spot.

Yes it has a major effect Mike, specially on the person taking or imbibing whatever remedy it may be but both make you talk bollox's & become incomprehensible but the beer makes some obnoxious & leary, whilst the dancing dust makes most lovey & dovey, so I've been told. Take care,be safe & remember, "Once there was a funny old ram thought he'd punch a hole in a dam, everyone knows a ram can't punch a hole in a dam, but he had high hopes, he had high hopes", Spot.

If Tony's info is correct then as Mr paying public I just wouldn't attend again, promtional stunt or not, to get bodies through the door. I'd be well pi**ed off after traveling 2 hours to the venue & then gleened that info sometime during the night, or is it a "Local venue for local people", perhaps Tubsy? Also as Des Parker rightly commented briefly in passing & has on the rare occassion received a mention in these hallowed pages, "TOO MANY VENUES" I SAID, "READ MY LIPS" "TOO MANY VENUES" But as my Mother says, " You won't take a blind bit of notice till it's to late, will you? Ey, will you?" Take care,be safe & remember, "When will they ever learn, when will they ever learn", Spot.

Cheers People, My mate is now sorted. Spot.

"It's a funny old game" & don't you two just know it?? Well Chris it's time to come to the dark side my friend & may the force be with you. So don't forget that makes you one of us now, so you & Marcelle have got to talk to me & at least pretend your interested in what I'm saying, even whilst having a fixed smile & a glazed expression on your face, seriously you two, all the best for everything you do in the future & now come & have some fun with the "Starey Scarey People", you know it makes sense. Take care, be safe & remember, "Always look on the bright side of life", Spot.

A nice copy of Jenny & the Jewels - Loves like an itching - Hit, for a mate who's not on the world wide, wants to pay £20'ish. PM me. Spot.

I put a watch on one of them, not sure which one but at the end it was bid up to$2500+ & not sold as reserve not met. Anyway it's not as good as "If that's what you wanted" & an appauling dancer IMO. Spot.

I agree with Epic, they were all modern once upon a time & some of the stuff people class as modern now is a least 30+ years old & how modern is that??? My feeling is modern is of today/of the moment & some of it I like but the 8 minute two step repetative stuff I cannot bide but each to their own. Take care,be safe & remember, "Two step is for pensioners & drunks", Spot.

"Imagine the Casino in 2008", I can only say one thing to that question, "No Thank You", it was bad enough being there& having wet socks & ankles from paddling through piss & water in the gents, never mind looking like a rust coloured Dalmatian from the nicotine & sweat dripping on you from above. Take care, be safe & remember, "Memories are made of this, sweet,sweet, the memories you gave to me", Spot.
