I love Stockholm (I worked there back in 2008 and have visited many times since) and I love soul music and so I decided to combine the two and take a trip to the Stockholm Soul Weekender and all I can say to Carl, Jens, all of the DJs, the bar staff and all of the wonderful people that I met from Sweden, Italy, Holland, Germany and the UK - you fuc*ing well smashed it! No politics, no elitest attitudes - just a big bunch of warm people who love soul music in its various guises and who like to have a laugh, a drink and a dance. Hopefully see you all again in 2026 PS Carl, if you could persuade Jens to post or send his Sunday playlist I would be eternally grateful,. Oh and just one other thing - could you please remind me of the 2026 dates? Cheers Slippers- 9 comments

oops -* Fassbender

Started watching 'The Agency' on Paramount+ It's an english language remake of a French series - 'Le Bureau des Légendes' (also on Paramount +) - that came out a few years back and which is one of my top 5 TV shows of all time Well worth a watch and Michael Fassbiende is pretty good in the lead role. But IMHO, the french original is better.

I liked the third one, 'Hotel Reverie' and the fifth one,'Eulogy'

Had to leave midway through (6am start next morning) but this was the best NS event I've been to for a long time. Busy from the word go, great atmosphere and nice to see some younger folk (well they looked younger) doing their thing on the dance floor. All in all, I Loved it, Cheers, S

Thanks Kathryn, glad you enjoyed it i(if 'enjoyed' is the right word) Sort of film related, I'm currently watching 'Better call Saul' on Netflix . Once you get through the first couple of episodes in series one, which to be honest are mildly annoying, it settles down to become a truly great peice of Television. Back on topic, one of the better films I've seen lately is 'Mr Jones' I think it's on Netflix - not entirely sure, it's all about Stalin's forced starvation of the Ukrainian people in the 1930s.

Bastarden (Danish Title) AKA The Bastard or 'The Promised Land' is well worth a watch - first thing to have kept me occupied for 2 hours for since I don't know when. It's on the BBC Iplayer.

Law of Tehran, a compelling, magnificent piece of work. My attention span is severely limited and yet I was completely transfixed for the just over two hours. Blew me away

Dark Hearts (BBC 4 and I Player) French series set in Iraq during peak Isis. It's a grower and very suspenseful

whenever Man U played Leeds Charltoms mother use to say to Jack, " be kind to our Robert"

Underneath my appartment theres a typical Swedish restaurant serving typical Swedish food. I had the windows open last night and just caught the faintest traces of something special on their CD player. Margie Joseph - One more chance Moved over to the window, lit up a fag, and sung (out loud). Felt happy and stupid all at the same time. Then this morning I went over to the 2nd hand shop and found an album Ive been after for donkeys - Blue Magic, 13 blue magic street which includes the sublime - The lonliest house on the block. Bit my tongue this time but its going around in my head as I type

Walked to work this morning whistling along to Sam and Dave's 'soothe me' . Got a few odd looks from the locals as I don't think that whistling is a european thing.

Solomon Burke - Simplicity (UK London) Lillian Dupree - Shield Around My Heart (D-Town) Jessie Mae - Don't Freeze On Me (DRA) Cheers, K

Only ever heard this played out once (Shield Around my Heart) and I was hooked. Bought a copy a few months ago. It's £100 on Manship but I would have thought that you could get one cheaper than that. Good Luck k

Stafford for the music and from what I've heard, the punters.

I've recently started collecting ( a modest 60 odd records) and to be honest I have to keep a close check on it - I know I could easily go completely overboard. Prices do seem on the high side but compared with what prices/wages were like in the seventies I don't see that it's too much of a luxury.

Si es correcto, lo siento

It is a bit slower but still a great sound - 'just me and the fellahs - under the street lamp'

Si Si Si, me le gustan Also love proper, full-on Salsa/Mambo - Anything from La Habana - Celia Cruz, Tito Fuente etc. K

Beat me to it and 'Grates' is the right word.

Beat me to it - Had a couple in the mid seventies but they were a bugger to iron. K
