Brilliant! Where do you get plums that big? Call me elitist but if I couldn't spell 'too' I'd sit really f*cking still when there were pens about.

Some journalist; just before the Q&A he writes "so what has went wrong"; and he could have written "so what went wrong" or "what has gone wrong". Personally I think a journalist should be literate

It's a strange article, sounds like the interviewer is trying to goad Kev into saying something disparaging, but to his credit Kev doesn't. This person, Craig Campbell has an agenda but Kev doesn't fall for it.

Yep that's exactly how it came across to me as well. The mischievous Craig character trying to prove there's a greater divide than their actually is. Anybody know anything about his pedigree? I really can't be asked to google him, although I'm sure he has a very interesting northern soul history, that most will marvel at :)

Personally I think a journalist should be literate before trying to produce a provocative article; in terms of medication his physician should prescribe bromide to help him reduce his self abuse.

‘If you don’t collect you’re not worthy.’

‘A white label is the only label’

‘Fuck the overlap class.  They don’t belong here.’

Think he's having a bad trip or something; I've never heard anyone say any of those things. Dont know what the second two would even mean.

he doesnt seem to realise : the bitter, angry middle aged man spitting bile from behind a keyboard...is him.

I reckon he don't like people with real records and he is only 4'6" tall and can't get a dj spot with his USB memory stick and has probably been banned from SS   :huh:

‘f*ck the overlap class.  They don’t belong here.’

I was laughing at that when I saw it as well.  But I still don't know what it means either...

I have a condiments set that says "Life is Peppered with ups and downs" and "So take it with a pinch of Salt", so when I read stuff like this I just think "Well there's ten minutes of my life I've wasted, but then having consumed a glass of gin and tonic at the same time it wasn't all a waste", it just means we should close ranks a little more, and not talk to journalists.

One of the best one liners for ages Phil.

 

I'll be using that one in the office. Brilliant.

Undoubtedly the piece is badly written, but I am sure that there are individuals who will recognise a degree of truth in the wider criticism being made. The fact is that it is still too early for a meaningful (and definitive) examination of the soul scene as it developed (and some might argue ossified) in 'the North', there are still too many individuals with particular interests to defend about for it to be otherwise.

Well done Kev for not biting, seems to be using snippets etc to provoke, the quote about not playing originals just shows the chasm between old school and the new generation,I still believe if you weren't there you just won't get it 100%, sorry but I'm a cynical,miserable,bitter old fart.

Spot.

P.s. Bet all,including him are well under 50.

A well written, balanced and erudite piece of work. This is why Northern Soul, DJs, punters and promoters should embrace all media opportunities.  :rofl:  :elvis:

I tried to establish what an 'overlap class' was so I googled the term.

Not wishing to send people to sleep with internet links, it is something for a microsoft developer network or neural network documentation. :sleep3: 

I am still none the wiser, however, which ever version of the above the journalist was referring to I think it proves beyond all doubt the he has a serious self abuse problem and needs immediate medical treatment. Journalists being reptiles; in this instance the decent thing would be to ask the vet to put down the poor tortured creature.  :wicked:
