Books out late November, launch is then as well.

OMG! We are now turning this into a debate on Mr T's locks - or lack of!!! But good to know the tumbling hair that i found strangely erotic () has now gone, I kept wanting to ask you how to roast a decent pork joint at venues!!!! lol See ya on the 27th

OOOOPS! Sorry Dave! Talking of scaring do you still look like hugh fernley whittingstall??????

Silly to go round and round in circles James??? Have you not been reading any of the other debates: Modern Vs Northern, Newies V Oldies, R&B vs well everyone it seems Going round in circles for years and years and years and....seems to be a speciality of ours, lol

Yep, Mr T as always on the ball! Think hes over at Lenny Dopsons do next week, 19th, so will be taking a trip over to have a listen.

I know you did say it wasn't BUT lets face it thats what it always turns into and the point I was making that new blood are turned off from discovering this scene, that lets be honest we all love whatever side of the genre fence we sit on, when they come onto forums like this and read articles along those lines. probably didn't eexpress that clear enough re-reading.

Very true Simon! Oslo is next on my list to visit because from what I have seen and heard thats my type of town (thanks Frank!) Oh and we all come from Norway anyway in this house

Ah I remember them well Steve! The threats issued, the endless pointless ranting about the way forward, the 'my souls bigger than yours' article etc etc....hang on, nothings bleeding changed!!!! I've sided with Sam of late, i.e I consider myself a Soul lover rather than a genre lover, if its good then I'll give it a chance which is why my shelves are heaving under all types and styles of Soul. The Modern Room, and the 'Modern By Moonlight' events we held in the Main Hall, at Plinston were always well attended and too me had the best vibe and atmosphere (even when you were on Steve!!!! ) and I've always loved venues that spin everything (lest we forget that Stafford was a Modern basiton at the begining and one of the reasons we went there, cheers for the great times by the way Mr Thorley!) Bottom line, you cant please everyone and punters will vote with their feet and go to whatever venues floats their soulful boat. ENDLESS debates etc achieve nothing but, as my son pointed out to me when reading this, keep the new blood we need as a scene to survive far far away. As he said, who wants to get involved with people that seem to spend their whole time arguing about nothing, he wants a good time with great music and he doesn't belivie he will get that when he reads, yet another!, debate on Modern Vs Northern/Oldies/Xover whatever from our scene. Timmy Thomas people - Why cant we live together! (Dont bother answering as we will be here forever!!!!! lol)

Jesus! Some people really are nuts Pete as I sold mine for similar some years back. We must be getting old but hats off to JM if someone is willing to pay that price for a copy
