Nail on head.....apart from comment on the hip swingin King.

This still running !!!!!

You are right about that, and I could well imagine his answer.....lol

Hear Hear! and good luck with shooting. Phyllis

They are out there, just picked one up few weeks ago (yellow label) for £46.

Aye thats true.... Anyway I just hope that some of what has been mentioned has not fell on deaf ears...thanks for the banter hen, its been a pleasure. Hope you are well. Respectfully Phyllis

******************************************************************************* Think you are very brave to come on and answer peoples questions and in my book that warrants a bit of respect. Like others have said you could have just gone ahead and made your movie with no consideration for anyone. People as you are aware, are very passionate regarding the music and artists, and I think you have, hopefully, answered their questions honestly. I am looking forward to seeing the movie and hope that production/directors and actors do this wonderful northern soul scene justice, ie in recreating the passion, atmosphere and lifetime friendships that went along with it, as Roddy mentioned in his post, demographs are also important as people travelled from all over the country to attend this venue, I am sure you are aware of this through your team. And last but not least, music policy ie original artists as previously mentioned.....keep it real and of course, credit where credit due. ******************************************************************************* If you read my initial post (above) am sure you will see what I actually said. As regards the negativity, the whole bloody thing is drowning in it.... maybe if the attitude was more positive and less aggressive people might listen and take note.... nothing worse than bold statements. If people want it to be authentic, why not try helping rather than hindering....and why not do it for free, because as you say its the music thats most important !!! And I think you will find there are more people than you think care about this....but approach it in a more sublte way. Respectfully Phyllis

Hey Joan, BRAVE.....very much so....to come on here and be slaughtered, from people who are griping about a FILM, not a documentary I may add....this man has tried to re-assure everyone that the production will be as real as possible to the era, when in reality he doesn't have to acknowledge this forum or anyone on it. As for publicity GOOD LUCK to him.....maybe some extra publicity from the Nationals about all the negativity on here might be helpful also, the numbers at venues are dropping, just like us older ones, so maybe this will entice some new blood through the doors to keep this scene alive when we have all gone. I really dont get it...why people are so angry and negative about this....ffs its only a film not a personal biography. Why cant everyone accept that, go see it and then if it fails to impress....feel free to slaughter it. With respect Phyllis

Good luck with "Souled Out", I hope it is a massive success.....oh and a few tickets for the premiere wouldnt go amiss....... lol...cheeky!!! Kind regards Phyllis

Sorry this is short notice, been let down. Have 2 Paul Weller tickets for sale......15th May 2008 Caird Hall Dundee - Standing - £65 ono PM me if interested, thanks

Ive got one, had it for five weeks now, you can have it if you want, Im finished with it.

Oh My God Davie, with that topic title I thought you had gone down the "Swingin" road.

he was the only bloke who ddn't fit and couldn't dance; it was like a scene from Sat Night Fever. Very true...but what a great film, all shot around the Leith area and in one of "Bigsoulmans'" aka "Lenny Toshak" locals the Bombers club...His lovely wife Jan had the pleasure of attending the premiere, lucky lady...Irvine Walsh doesn't miss a trick, so clued up on people and life, taking it to the extreme in a very funny dark way. Some of the funniest scenes for me were the main character Amanda showing the cleaner in the salon her latest cosmetic surgery procedure....which was how we say "below the belt" oh and also the poor old man on viagra who's b---s were on fire....and of course the preist praising the lord. Hallelujah Philly
