As you may have noticed since starting this thread ive only posted twice and just sat back and read some really intresting replies, and reading into this i think persnally theres too many local events, but hey there must be a market for them otherwise they wouldn`t be held, i re-located to the north east from my roots in york some four years ago and the amount of local events in our area is unbelievable, within say a 30mile radius theres 15+ with the weekly calendar usually full, unfortunatly insome cases this has caused the scene to implode on itself, due to people not wanting to travel and awaiting there own local d in there town, theres some great venues up here and some very forward thinking promoters, but the vast amount of venues seems to have split the scene with what seems to be not suppoting each other, there is of course the usual polotics & ego trips going on, but i seem to see more northeasterners in one place when i travel away nowadays

Cheers rich, it is a tugh one wich suprised me really, bookmarked that one, will keep it in mind think ita bit strong price wise, but thanks anyway ANYONE ELSE!!!!

Can`t seem to find one of these anywhere, being a lover of instrumentals, i gotta have it if any of you kind folks could help me out? much appreciated

Saw one of these sell earlier today, great record richard searlings old CHESTER PIPKIN C/U, circa 79, I HAVE AN EX CONDITION WHITE DEMO OF THIS UP FOR GRABS £30 pm if intrested cheers HARRY SOUNDCLIP BELOW SOLD! SOLD! SOLD! SOLD! record on hold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Could any of you kind people supply me with an mp3 of this old stormer, THANKS IN ADVANCE

Good flip as well, its a jobette thing if i remember rightly

Too true, at one time events never clashed, but then again to keep these places open there must be a market?

Thats what i was thinking of ian, think i have that somewhere

sadly steve all mine have been lost over the years, used to know a lass called glynis who had tons of photos and insisted on showing you all here albums when smashed at a nighter great venue though had some good times at that one

gotta agree with all the above, although the younger generation numbers are down theres a lot of people returning to the scene and has been for quite some time now, and these people are not only attending there local events but also the nighter venues and weekenders, i think what weve got to remember is there is a lot more events on nowadays, and a lot more nighters than there was, when people refer to the glory days w/c, mecca, etc there were very few nighters on the go so everyone was concentrated in one place, to me its as ive said its as healthy now if not healthier than ever, one comment that was made was musically on its arse, don`t know why that is either?

nice one dave

Was involved in the kings go forth thread in a look at your box section, and had a few replies concerning this comment, just wondered what your views were on this, as i find the scene as healthy as ever? and wich part of the history of the soul scene is this compared to? just a question for your opinions

I`ll keep trying then

oops! sorry what about REPERATA & THE DELRONS-ITS WAITING THERE FOR YOU

Heres one that might fit the criteria,-DICK&DEE DEE-MAKE UP BEFORE WE BREAK UP-WARNER BROTHERS

Well said that man, great post ive been looking for that for a few days now, but have not been able toput it into words

Hello its a forum thats my opinion!!!!!!!!! am not dismissing it its just not for me, and i bellieve in my opinion thats why i posted it on an open forum, each to there own james thats my opinion and if you can read into that then your a very clever man

And i quote from post 93, its attitudes like this that are causing the northern scene to fall on its ARSE, i personally would like to know where its falling on its ARSE, as ive said in numerous posts on this thread it is a well put together record, but not my thing, and the comparisons that were made were regarding the new release concept, if the northern scene is falling on its arse so to speak i don`t know where? its as healthy today as it has ever been, progressive forward thinking venues in all genre`s of the music usually full to capacity, weekenders sold out, so all i`m awaiting is when it picks up if this is falling on its arse

My thought exactly adey, think its just a verry clever publicity stunt that after 150 replies has worked!!! as for on its arse, as ive said guys like yourself and others picked this scene up when it WAS on its arse, and fair play to you and others, god i remember go into do`s in the mid-eighties, with a hand ful of die hards in attendance, its allways been a super ball effect this scene and allways will be, and no one man or tune will change that

To me whats happened here is we were asked our opinion about this record, and when those who didn`t like it aired there opinion, they were told they should like it and then it turned into a slanging match, as ive said earlier in posts, the question was asked on an open forum on an opinion on this tune, and opinions were given for and against it, i appluad james`s enthusiasm on this record but some very suspect remarks were made to those who didn`t like it, it is a very well put together record, and as ive said i wish the band every success in this venture, but for me its not a great record, probably i`ll be slated again for these comments, but i refuse to have something i don`t like rammed down my throat until i do like it, the last comment i made accused me of being a part of why the northern scene is on its arse, i don`t know where the author of said comments is going, but i find the scene at the moment as fit and well as it has ever been, some great progressive venues, great oldies venues, over my life long involvement with the scene ive seen it go through pits and troughs but has bounced back due to mainly the dedication of its members

thanks for that seemed to have a few on PHIL LA SOUL

Had a few with the "CHIPS" sticker on reading "THIS SIDE IS HOT THANKS A LOT" wonder where that sticker was from, must have been a distributor or something like that

Would love to know what them THREE PIES in that pie warmer at the end of the record bar would look like now!!! the same ones were there every week as long as i went we even marked one of them to see if they were allways the same ones national treasures them pies, they wanted carbon dating

Had some good uns off theremyself paul over the years, if you can be bothered to troll through the millions of classical music albums, val doonican, and perry como`s

i was shocked as well pete, but you neer know if it was on the crossover point between black & blue issues
