very difficult.Today I have had enough.
Everyone should make up their own minds about who the perpetrator (s) may be.
But I was going to head over to the Rocket as well as coming to Crossfire.
Now if anyone visits the Rocket, IN MY OPINION, you are supporting the kind of parasite this scene does not need.
You dont need to go to the Rocket to have a good time this

A person recently had problems on a northern list called advanced northern soul list.
Due to the inability of the moderator to sort things and advise the member, the member then thought his account had been hacked. He then decided to post to 700+ soul fans an accusation of wrong doing by 2 sites which he assumed must be the cause through flawed logic.

Sad news that Don Varner past away this week, am sure right in saying that all thoughts from all soul fans go out to his family and friends RIP
Don Wilson Varner (25 June 1943 – 7 October 2002[1]) was an American soul singer. Varner was a baritone who sang both uptempo soul in the northern soul style as well as ballads.
Born in Birmingham, Alabama, Varner grew up in the same neighborhood as Eddie Kendricks.[2] Varner moved to Chicago after high school to pursue his music career but ret

WARNING!!! Whilst selling records at Keele last night I turned to talk to a mate and someone took 3 records out of my box and walked away with them.

The strange thing was that he`d act

As a soul fan, I am shocked at what I had sent to me this morning from a member of a soul/Belgian popcorn/ Hi-energy music message board called ANS. If it wasnt enough to stomach, that the majority of the DJ line up was dreary and the music was "old hat" real soul records are now being banned and considered "not good enough" for thier brand of Northern Soul. Gene toones, arguably, is probably the best record ever made. Read on, a true shocker :
Gene Toones - What More
Just picked up the latest issue of Mojo magazine and theres a feature on Wigan Casino (6 pages), top 50 soul records and long overdue praise for the man with the silly haircut Ady C. and Kent records. Just flicked through it but it looks like a decent article and not a mention of the ROCKET anywhere. Hmmm someone slipped up there then!
Enjoy!

Thanks to Irish Greg for passing on a thoughtful list I was speaking to a very well known record Collector/Dealer/DJ who kept telling me that the records are just not in the states no more. So I decided to tell him the kind of stuff that has turned up over the last year from the states on Ebay and I even shocked myself!! I can never remember so many rarities turning up Left and Right (The truth is out there folks) good hunting. Too prove my point see below. Al Williams - I am nothing - Palm
Reports of yet more negative comments on the Northern scene in a mainstream-ish magazine.
Fair enough you may think, but trouble is they are all written by so called northern fans, the rocket lot. in their attempts to promote their own event, they seem fit to do it by slagging down other events, djs, soul fans, styles of soul.
Be laughable if it wasnt so offensive.

Good to hear that many of Sweden Soul fans were familar with his current plays and cover ups through downloading off the internet
Postcards From The Factory Issue #2 - February 2002
How the kids from Compton were spotted hanging out in Detroit.
At the height of the Rare Groove scene, during the 1980s , this track by The Jackson Sisters grew to cult status and saw Polydor Records gain some heavy sales when they obliged the record collecting fraternity with a re-issue on their Urban Records imprint.

Well got to say the 6th Annivesary at Lowton was a well enjoyable nite, great line up of DJs, two dropped out Tim Brown and Chris King. Think late additions were Ian Cuncliffe and also Steve Thomas (HHead) doing the last hour.
Packed, quality sounds, great atmosphere. Highlight of nite to me was Keith Moneys spot, ouch so good it hurt. Rest of line up did the business, and to me seems a lot fresher feel to the sounds being sp
Just to let you know that after almost 3 years, have handed over the running of the Northern Web Ring to Bernie O Brien.
Set up to help soul fans find Northen sites easier and web site owners get exposure. Felt due to other going ons could not give it the time and effort it deserves. So have passed it on, and hopefully Bernie will take it onwards and upwards
