Therefore everything was new at some point,so why do some people complain when they hear something they havent heard before???
I quite agree Nev, I'm always interested in & actively seek out stuff that I've not heard before. To me though this post isn't about hearing new discoveries etc of northern, it's about introducing a totally different style of music just because it has the right beat. If all that mattered was it being uptempo & having the right sound then we'd be back to the dark days of Helen Shapiro, Muirel Day etc etc etc etc etc.
Despite what some people may think my interest does go beyond 60s Northern. At home I have 70s/80s Soul, Classical, Opera, 60s pop, traditional music from around the world as well as loads of indie stuff like Smiths, Wedding Present, Band of Holy Joy, Great Divide, Cure, Joy Division, Pogues etc etc & of course I have a very small knowledge of dance / house but it does nothing for me so I don't buy it..........all of which means absolutely nothing except to possibly point towards the fact that we're not all averse to hearing something new, it's just that we choose to listen to a style that we like when we attend certain clubs.
It's all about individual taste, which is why we have seperate rooms
To my ears house music soulful or otherwise has nothing to do with northern & i certainly wouldn't attend a venue that played it. Bloody hell I have enough trouble enduring most of the 70s played which is why i try to avoid clubs that play that as well.
