Danny Woods - 90 days in the County Jail Just listened to this on a CD to see if I still dislike it as much as I used to. Think I actually dislike it more now - a truly awful record.

2am starts in the early days, and yes we were the 'special ones'... long train journeys (nobody I knew had a car at that time)........... No off the peg fashion...... Baggies made to measure at Burtons/Hepworths, original bowling shirts imported from America and an unquenchable thirst for new sounds. I stopped going after nearly 3 years, just before the third Anniversary, mainly because of the circus that the media turned it into, and the loss (to me anyway) of that 'underground' feeling. It was an exciting and sometimes scary time and quite far removed from the scene that we know today, and I wouldn't give up those memories for anything. It's not something that I attempt to relive every weekend as I believe much of the music is well past its sell by date - my motivation comes from hearing and finding 'new' records and for me its early 60's/RnB that offers most scope in that department and often at reasonable cost. If someone wants to make a film that's loosely based on Northern Soul then that's fine by me, but to turn down the opportunity to make a great film because people who weren't there don't want the input of people who were there.........well, that would be such a shame.

Would imagine there will be no difference in cost whether he gets it right or gets it wrong - so may as well get it right

Beat me to it!
