Bosch is well cool. Peter

That Chris, is nothing short of spectacular. Peter

I always like to have a look at the auction results; it's part of what makes up my overall interest in the northern soul scene. I don't collect anymore, and I'm not a seller. Just an interested voyeur. Peter

It's always a wow whenever I see a hare; it's not often. Great photograph. Peter

In the olden days you were given three back street blues for two quid and a gentle push in the direction of the dance floor. You danced non stop for about six hours. Bingo, you got it. Peter

Wow! The mind boggles - and she does it all with a straight face; and such loving sincerity. Peter

The brilliance of Lamont Dozier.

I've been watching Quarry. It's about a Vietnam veteran who returns home and gets sucked into the underworld. Some great acting, brilliant character performances. And; it has a wicked sound track theme, proper soul and blues music from the little club scenes, and whenever there's a radio playing. It has people flicking through vinyl 45's and albums and record shops. It's set in Memphis, and was filmed there and in New Orleans. It also features the racial tensions that existed at the time, and the racist violence that the black community had to endure. Well worth a watch. Quarry (TV Series 2016) - IMDb Peter Edit Been watching a bit more and upgrading my well worth a watch to it's an extremely good watch - best thing I've watched for ages.

You're just showing off Steve! There are a number of different releases - I like them all. Back in the day, dancing my socks off I never knew/wouldn't have noticed whether the bongos were bonging or not! It's a modern soul anthem; I love it. I hope all is well mate. Peter

Great show Dean, great guests and great picks. Always tuned in of a Thursday. I hope you're well mate. Peter

I fancy that but have heard it's a but gruesome - it might upset my current very fragile mental health. I'm being serious. Peter

A very good Romanian thriller on Netflix - Subteran. I binge watched it. Peter

I'd love to see an otter in the wild. I know they're making a come back in some rivers. Much to the disdain of some anglers - one or two on here! Great pics Mick, well done mate. Peter

You can do whatever you like. I've not read a single comment where anyone has suggested that you do anything otherwise. I do think that you are starting to sound a little petulant. Peter

Not sure how many other dealers would/have a 50% reduction offer on their stock. Peter

I think everyone at Johnny's - including himself, have done a sterling job on what must have been/still is a monumental task. I don't collect anymore but when I did I always found John and his set up to be first class. I've heard nothing yet to change my mind. Delays were always going to happen and could have reasonably been expected. Peter

This was me dancing in the 80's - in my regular spot, surrounded by loads of other dancers, loving the music, the times and the company.

All niters in the 80's were rammed. Lots of people left the scene in the 80's, but big venues were still rocking with us dancers often struggling for space. I always danced in the same sort of place - to the left of the stage looking at it, close up. The music was awesome with lots of quality rare modern stuff, lots of 60's "newies" and some well known classics. Loads of people missed the 80's and then returned moaning. You can't win! Peter

Evening All I don't want to make a big issue out of this because I already made reference to it in a previous post; but. I am surprised at the very few references to the fact that one of the biggest drivers of the all niter scene back in the day was amphetamine, and almost everyone I knew used it. Most just recreationally, and limited to the attendance at all niters and all dayers, but for some it became more of a habit, and with it the consequences of a more regular desire and or need. I get the impression that a significant number of people, for many reasons, and which are non of my business, have very selective memories, and prefer to totally overlook the important role that drugs had in driving the scene when we were younger/youngsters. It is an inescapable fact that without amphetamine the all niter/all dayer scene would have been totally different - unrecognisable from what it actually was. The issue cannot be white washed from the history of the northern soul scene, and it's importance cannot be overstated. I'm sure not everyone will be comfortable with my post, and of course as I have eluded to, there were exceptions to the rule and not everyone used. But, the vast majority did. Evening all. Peter

Hi Chris I hope you're ok. I've been binge watching Walter's The Day on 4. I'm enjoying it, it's a Belgian thriller. https://www.channel4.com/programmes/the-day Peter

Yep, a real hot bed of soul music was/is Nottingham. The Boat Club, at the side of the Trent, and next to the Forest ground is still going great guns. Sells out. I hope you're well Roburt. Peter

Just saw this................... https://www.nottinghampost.com/whats-on/music-nightlife/gallery/new-northern-soul-motown-bar-9904873 Mm. Peter

You will go to the gym Benji!

Strange there wasn't a Clash! I'll get me coat. Peter
