Mark didnt you say that earlier on in this thread or was that someone else??? Possibly one of the attic guys LOL in which case he would take up the whole floor PS who is ron pedley when hes at home??

I was looking at my box after looking at label scans (sad act that I am) And on my "you keep running away" four tops is a typed label with the name B. Conway anybody know this person? Also 2 others with K T embossed on the middle of the labels Cheers Mand Whats on your labels??? Probably nothing!!!

The only thing I miss this time around is the large ...ney huge venues we used to fill now we're down to village halls welfare halls labour clubs altho I visit smaller venues now I remember the atmosphere being electric in the big venues Nearest to it would be Alfreton leisure centre good atmosphere huge numbers ( for these days) Mand Must admit we have a break now and again when we get a bit bored

Barbara McNair "you're gona love my baby " has me fillin up every time because you know that it happened to her you can tell the emotion in the song....very.....Emotive!!! Mand PS even worse when I watch the footage of her singing it

cut my teeth on that tune Cod (comin to your rescue ) at the assembly rooms derby and notts palais love it today i love the break ...it sent the dancefloor absolutely wild!!! Mand

Me too Del ...still love it too!! Mand

hahahaha Rictic so If Im a shite dancer I need talc to make me better then... PMSL Just kiddin mate couldnt resist!

Was this awsworth by any chance ?? I was there that night too (the firemen were very nice ) young man!!!!! what a mess!!! Sam was complaining about the stuff settling on his vinyl!!! Mand

Una The footage is done by Mick Cooper absolutely fantastic photography and video footage put together very professionally and hes also a DJ! Mand

PS...... our badminton players were complaining of slippy patches on the dance...er ...sports hall floor the night after the do I organised at my place of work!! Don't know what that could have been Im sure probably spilt beer Mand

C'mon then Ruff put us out of our misery!!! Mand

Think I will join in at this point Davie is quite right wearing the right footwear eliminates the need for talc I wear Doc Marts (ladies genteel ones of course) when the grip has worn off them they are superb for dancing in When I rejoined the soul circuit I used talc until I got a decent pair of shoes now I rarely use it unless the floor is sticky Mand

Just to add ...I work at a sports centre and I asked to do a soul/motown night I did it and 300 locals came thru the door mostly non soulies we had a brill night and the few of us soulies who attended had the same good night! So Im having another and the feedback from the last one was fantastic I have also converted a few that attended to go to other soul nights locally So it does rub off with the right kind of exposure!! Mand

I voted good.... My reason .. Well we're becoming a dying breed and there are only very few young people interested in it BUT.... I will add that not all media coverage is good coverage.....eg Jazzy B ...who wont be appearing at a soul club near you in the near future!!!! What we need is our own media coverage ...like our own people who can write up a decent article that encapsulates all thats good about the scene now Any takers??? Mand

Think I would like a listen to that ! mand

I love it whe the Djs sit up and take notice ... We'd love to see scans etc to add to the growing thread! Mand

Steve there is a soulandy on youtube But no small club clips and I know that him and Tracy go all over

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhfQapXkB8M sorry try again

I think the lady in this clip is Superb Mand

Just been watchig some of the youtube offerings Seriously makes my hair stand up on the back of my neck!!! And after all this time I was awtching some of the full wigan footage and thought I saw someone I recognise from todays scene!!! What I want to find is small club footage like pilsley ,bentinck and kingway hall surely there must be some posted up

We need more footage like that!!! altho I did see the odd out of control spin! I recognise Jc (Ana's Friend) Sam Evans and Johnny ( forest towns recent winner bottom left corner ) I will see if I can dig up some midlands footage Mand

I certainly do He stood on my foot !!! Just kiddin Span ..you haven't give us your fave dancer have you ? ... And no you can't vote for yourself!!!! Mand

Thats the kind of keepsake you want ....Northern soul history Mand Only wish some kind soul had taken loads of footage inside Notts palais I'd have been on there!
