The Triumphs...Walking the duck

Colony Club...Newbury....home of Newbury Soul Club.

It's about knowing when to let it go.

'All things we love and cherish Like ourselves must fade and perish' Shelley Packed it in about 7 years ago (second time round)...can't say I miss it...happy days from the Mecca 1971 right through though.

Enough of the bitchin methinks....perhaps it is 'a youth culture left in the hands of old women'.....time to move on....close my thread.

For me it wasn't just about the music....There was 'something else' ...something in the air... and it's gone....but perhaps that's the way it always is.

Well I've just received re- read the whole thread which I started and have concluded the Northern soul scene as it now appears is no longer for me ...just a distant memory now..good one though.

I have been unable to find the original source of the quote which is the subject of this thread . I apologize for that since I seemed to have stirred up a hornets nest which was not my intention. So in the interests of peace and harmony I would suggest the thread be closed. I started my own journey at The Mecca in 1971 left it in 80 and returned again in 2003 only to leave again in 2009 I think it was.I enjoyed it all but it like me had 'aged'...it certainly had lost something but then perhaps so had I.

.I have already been asked this by Chalky .I wish I could remember but it was a few months ago but I kept mulling it over in my head hence posting the thread to get some feedback.I will try and find the source...sorry to have started such a controversy...not my intention. Best Rob

Roy Orbison-In Dreams.....soulful .

Johnny Gilliam-Find yourself another Cheers.

Not so much a youth culture left in the hands of old men as much as old men (and women) holding on....and why shouldn't they. 'How hath Time,that subtle thief of youth,stolen upon his wing,my four and twentieth year' . Milton Sorry I could have quoted the obvious Northern tune but I'm in poet mode this month.

Having started the thread and now read the comments I would conclude with the words of my favourite poet: 'All things that we love and cherish Like ourselves must fade and perish' Shelley

Suppose if what you say is true then the quote must be correct...a culture of our youth which we the oldies that are left, enjoy.

Cannot remember where I saw it mate...was some time back....might have even been on here come to think of it..sorry...will let you know if I retrieve it.

Well said.

Just saw this applied to Northern soul.....didn't quite know what to make of it....your take?

Kin el...glad that didn't last long....who the **** is responsible for this?

Soft Cell...original???

First you get D for Divvy and then its E for the End.

A man with a soul...a real pleasure to have known you pal...Rob Sawetz

Walking the duck...Triumphs...Blackpool Mecca..71

All the best Ted Rob Sawetz
