  1. Do we need to have some of those very nice St John Ambulance volunteers on stand by.
  2. I'm not an expert on any of this stuff - either IT wise, copyright wise etc - I no nothing. What I do know is that the clips you posted up Pete are precious treasures - some of the stuff was stunning to say the least. We're else would we have been able to view such stuff - it would have been lost in the archives for ever. The company who appear to have complained and bought it all to an end are ridiculous - what are they doing to share such treasures with us - and to bring the unsung talent to the attention of more people. Doh! :angry:
  3. My memory would suggest that gymnastics had a fairly shortlived "window". I started going places in 76 and they were the rage then. We used to practice in my mates front room - I was never that good and therefore very conscious on the dancefloor - being a non gymnastic dancer. I was pretty pleased when they started to fade out - 79 - 80ish? Maybe that had something to do with the introduction of modern soul music - I think gymnastics and modern would not have worked. Of course there remained the hard core gymnasts - they still remain today, particularly at places like Wigan. Scotty from Doncaster liked his gymnastics!
  4. He is a member on SS - he's a really nice geezer. He's a top DJ in my book - modern stuff, cool tunes etc. He runs Soul Essence at Yarmouth with Bob Cosby. Have a listen to Sounds of Blackness - there's some stuff posted in refosoul on here. Try "Going all the Way" - wicked stuff!
  5. Yep - I like the Family quite a bit. The music is very uplifting - some of it can be a little melancholy, but I like that too. I think it was my mate Gavin Page that switched me onto them originally - along with Sounds of Blackness. Pete
  6. Cheers for that Mand - those few words have lifted my spirits! We can be lifted, lifted, lifted. Lifted all the way!
  7. I still like to dance. When I wore a lad, back in seventies and early eighties I thought I could mix it with the best. Here in 2007 - I am rubbish!
  8. It's bad - not bad as in good or wicked, just plain bad!
  9. Oh well - it was good while it lasted.
  10. I don't see that it's harassing anybody Stuart. It's simply pointing out what many people on here believe to be an error - on his/the papers fault. There's nothing wrong in pointing that out. Like everyone else I receive hundreds of unsolicited emails - at least these have been solicited in a fashion by printing something that is inaccurate. As a journalist I'm sure he would want to get his facts right. If he doesn't like them or give a monkey all he has to do is hit "select all and delete". Yes we're - I, are having a little fun into the bargain.
  11. Sweeeeeet! I was having a bit of a boring day - this could be loads of fun!
  12. Yep - that's mine gone. This will teach him - writing for a fascist rag! :angry:
  13. Err well, yeah right - he's the youngest one on there. Right fashionable geezer - great toons. Tra la la la!
  14. The guy second right at the back looks like Graham Taylor - didn't know he was a soul jock. Mind you he wasn;t a football manager!
  15. It's a great shot - but where's them bloody beatle boots!
  16. I think you're both right. There's some fooking impressive knowledge on here. Any more info on it - I'm sure it was covered as Roddy something - maybe not. Cheers.
  17. That could be it mate........ yes it might be. I wish I could be sure! Anyone got a sound clip?
  18. Just been reading another thread and a track I haven't heard played anywhere for ages came into my mind - can't even remember the title or the artist! Or maybe I can.............it's coming back to me. Was there a track by Roddy Joy - probably covered up at the time, might have been Richard at Wigan. The lyrics go something like this Somebody's been teaching you Showing you how Any takers?
