amazon review :
Whew! I bought this recording without knowing much about Ernie and Eddie and without being familiar with the records. The fact that it was on the excellent Kent label meant that it wasn't too much of a risk.
Speculation turned to joy as great song after great song blew out the cobwebs in my hi-fi. I bought it thinking that there might be one or two gems, but it is packed with must-have soul songs. There is not one bad recording on this CD. I questioned the wisdom of putting on a cover version of "Tell it like it is", but it is a different song in the hands of these two experts.

Hideaway - View from Marc F

Marc F from Germany recently travelled across seven seas to the Hideaway, and going by what he wrote had a right old time.
Here's his view on the nite and what he dished out.
The Hideaway was great, the people involved even better, namingly Mike Warburton, Neil Henderson and of course Paul Welsby.
Also it was great to meet Lee Miller for the first time in person (cheers mate!).
Lots of understanding, open-minded and knowing soul fans! I hardly can think of one recent night that I enjoyed as much as this! Brilliant!
The "record talking" was brilliant, the "record trading" even better!
The venue is a sheer joy to look at and to dance in, the music from all the dj`s there is just that right mixture of R&B classics (and I mean R&B in the first meaning of the word), 6t`s rare soul gems, a bit of popcorn a bit of blue beat and that added extra little something called magic. All dj´s including Neil, Paul and Mike and as guest dj alongside myself Andre Minta played blinding sets. Paul for example played two blinding one-offs...
It was a brill night! Personally, I was overwhelmed by the warmth I was welcomed with by everyone and by the appreciation they gave the stuff I played. I nearly had to show and tell the details of every second 45 I played, which is good because it shows the interest of the people, but can put you into deep trouble when you have to deejay in-between and are using the microphone as a German native in England
I think they had like 100 + thru the doors, which is not bad bearing in mind all the other events all over the country and especially in the midlands.
If they let me (which they already said they would like to) I am sure to travel again to the rainy city in a not so far future. Here is what I played:
First set 11pm till 11.30pm
Don Revels (aka the Primettes) Return Of Stagger Lee UA / Al gardener (& the Primettes) I`ll Get Along Lupine / Louis (Blues Boy) Jones Come Back Home Saba / Screaming Joe Neal She`s My Baby Emerge
Bobby long & The Satelites Mojo Workout Vegas / Bobby Mitchell Well I Done Got Over It Sho-Biz / Ted Taylor Since You are Home Duke / Bobby Guy Good Enough APT / King Coleman Down In The Basement TOGO / Chuck Daniels Tiny Tim Audio / Vernon Harrel Slick Chick Lescay / Margie Simms If I Never Get To Love You Cardon / Fred Bridges baby Don`t You weep Versatile
Second set 01.00am till 01.30am
Ernie Washington Lonesome Shack Chattahochee / Chyvonne Scott I`m Movin On Alto / Betty Lavette You`ll Never Change Atlantic / Lee Crandle Exp. Come On Baby c/up
Hank Blackman & The Killers Itchy Koo Brent / Little James & The Rexettes You Ain`t My Baby No more c/up
Mary Allen Cryin Won`t Help You unrel. Bestway Acetate / Johnny Gibson Baby Let Me Know GTM / Dream Team I´m Not Satisfied Gregory / Johnny Guitar Watosn Big Bad Wolf Magnum / Big Daddy Rogers Let Me Know Baby c/up
Idols Check Her Out USA / Soul Bros. Six Come On (Let´s Do The Hip Snap) c/up

News of latest hot releases from Kent

News of latest hot release from Kent!!! Shrine II (CDKEND 190) Amazing quality that means you can hear every bit of the over-produced (!) tracks...Id never noticed all the Ondioline (early synth) work deep in the layers of sound before...and I was particularly shocked to hear it was a keyboard and not strings within the instrumental break of RayPs "This time"....I really must get my hearing tested (no jokes about my musical taste!).

Important - Unreserved apoligy to Soul Source DMSC and Soul Bid

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. The Soul Talk list moderators managed to sort this members problems out, once they knew the symptoms by explaing and demostrating that his problem was an actual fault with the list providers, not a result of any hacking. The person then posted the 700+ soul fans a unreserved apoligy for his statement. against those sites As appears his accusations were a result of genuine mistake and the thought that he must pass on info fast, we have accepted this apoligy and as far as we are concerned is the end of this matter. The info about this fault was orignally posted on Topica Support List approx 4 months ago. and was immediately posted on the main soul lists. The moderator/s of the advanced (sic) northern soul list. appears unable to carry out simple tasks such as collecting news informing and advising members, these faults led this member to post untrue and unfounded allegations to over 700+ mail boxes. Along with the fact that this list is infamous through out the soul world for many wrong doings, abuse, lies and more. We highly recommend all soul fans to give it a wide bearth and look elsewhere.

Tonys Eleventh Annivesary

11th anniversary last nite and a most enjoyable time Sounds wise guests did good job Bob Hinsley, Carl Willingham, Kev Murphy,Ginger and Simon being the advertised guests , though sure Robbo was on,yeah was, Hit read more to read rest Regs included Mark Morgan and Little Scotty finished the nite.Sounds wise - was toss up between Carl W and Bob h for me for most enjoyable with other mains hitting the spot fairly regular Upstairs - Whats going on, had heard mention a fair few times recently round home way, with a few giving it cant wait, later while downstairs could hear this thumping beat coming thru roof. all way into main hall. Workmen in? Up I went, and bit of a double take place was jumping, 20/30 oddin there thumping 2k+ beat and a well good feel, hats off to Paul Baldwin, he has certainly got that room jumping, no sign of those sound the same 70s lp tracks, that were boring back then, never mind now , but a room full of up and at them thumping beats with soulfull icing. Fair bits of news, rumours and so on going round, some can say , some can hint, some will blow your socks off later on when goes firm, interesting dodgy one someone getting sued for using video clips of a certain artist ? Apparently artist was told not used, but seems was used, cue legal thing. (Of course it is as said a dodgy rumour but as interesting and maybe someone can confirm/deny). Some cracking news that unfortunatly cant say as planning in progress. Watch out Very big BUZZ on next weeks Lowton - and advance warning of order Terry Davis, Ginger, Ian C, Carl Willingham, Rob Thomas, Andy Rix finishing nite (of course all very non-offical and more than likely a few mistakes!) Know many DMSC from round here are looking forward to this one and going make most of extra chance scoring some extra monkey. With monkey on week after .......double monkey thatll keep things going for a while. Then with a choice of Halifax or Broughton next day for another dose of quality , its yet another fun packed weekend for those who like their northern as it should be Crowd wise fair sized crowd there and good atmosphere, 11th annivesary , pin annivesary badge given out, Very Odd bits - no details of exclusive plays, covers, one offs, either but just a look at the undercurrent stuff for a different viewpoint or as less brain taxing as cocetration is wondering, whats the Carl W sound with the "surf city" chorus, almost the same if not identical, surf city here we come, cue beachboys karoke time. Gale Adams 82 version of Baby I need your lovin, and floor filled and even get a round of applause, been popular round North Wales Coast last few months and think every time heard it always seems to get clapped. Hopefully as said before will put Clarence Carter finally to bed, (though someone just had to play it later didnt they as if to say no chance spade) can get both 45/12 cheap at moment, was passed on to check rest of the Clarence Carter "mind" lp as supposed to be well err..dirty -how many cups of tea. Pretty Girl Dressed In Brown seems to get played at every event go to recently, and value seems to be rising correspondingly, Some still playing that Terry Wogan spin and was informed Sarah Kennedy gives it a going over as well, surely passed its sell by date by now, radio 2 ? tune in, nah never , now that is admitting defeat and next it be the slippers, cup of coccoa thing while listening to the wireless. Interesting question when should a record get dropped.nowadays, though person maybe not to ask that question was Little Scotty who finished the nite with the majority of the usual stuff you usually hear from him, no suprises in last hour.Will just say £3 for 20 , play what he wants Overall a very enjoyable nite, had a laugh, good catch up, mix of sounds,Some top dog, some not my cup of tea, but think defintely a case of something for everyone. Room at the top was well kicking and know the Llandudno lot enjoyed it First weekend of the month out of the way and feel like dogsh*t roll on Lowton

Scenesville Playlists from 15 Oct 02

First things first - big thanks to everyone who came along and turned Friday into such a fantastic night - it was great to see everybody using the event to just have a great big Soulful party. Thanks also to the tireless bar staff who worked like demons to keep everbody topped up with drinks, particularly in the face of overwhelming demand during the happy hour - theyll have reinforcements next time, so life should be a tad easier for them - and also for all you thirsty punters, who should notice your drinks arriving that bit quicker! Thanks to the DJs who all turned in what I thought were superb sets - I tip my hat to them all, particularly our guest Kitch, who exceeded even the high expectations I had of him.
And finally thanks to those who took the time to offer such encouraging
comments after the event - its really reassuring to know that people haveenjoyed a night - it makes all the hard work worthwhile!

Centre next year, to be announced shortly. Meanwhile, thanks for making
Fridays anniversary a party to remember, and if you didnt make it along,
heres looking forward to seeing you soon!
All the best,
Nick

Weekend Round Up

New Tighter Format - Odd bits of news will go in Forum, while stuff like from weekend will be on main page.
SCENESVILLE -SECOND ANNIVERSARY Friday nite One of the big events of the weekend was Scenesvilles Second Annivesary down London town way. Reports from this are that it was "awesome", the music, crowd and atmosphere all being top notch. Certainly seems that this was the place to be this weekend. ANDY RIX, CHRIS DALE, DAWN BROWN and NICK BROWN with special guest KITCH 100% Real Deal 60s Rare Soul! they advertised it as, and sfrom what heard sounds like they delivered and then some. Hats off to the lot of them and congratulations on 2 ground breaking years. As one punter said "probably the best soul night Ive been to this year, absolutely brilliant."
NORTH MANCHESTER SOUL CLUB @ BURY Friday Niter 4th Annivesary DJs included Richard Searling, Kenny Burrell, Kev Murphy, Terry Davies, Ginger Taylor, Dave Booth and many more. Event here celebrated its 4th annivesary on Friday, and always seems a popular event Managed to grab a few views from some who attended and they varied quite a bit. Those who were after the style on offer gave it a very good. Of course these were just views passed on, if were there can use comments to get your views in.
GOLDBOURNE MINI-NITER - a mini-review
After a stop off at Joe Dunlops local in his outpost for a meet up at a back room soul nite, which was a good nite, meet up and a laugh, had round 100 odd in and guys dj-ing gave them what they wanted. After good time there got to Goldbourne. Just for bit of a challenge once in Goldbourne asked every drunk directions to add a bit of a edge to journey, gotta say town has a great set of Saturday nite drunks, with almost clear directions, and not one sending us wrong direction. Left before church being the key here
First time at this one, and name "the goldbourne catholic club" and the look outside of the place gives bit of false impression, but once in place bit different, first feel was a smart venue and well laid out. With record area, couple of bars, other room with decks casually playing varied selection mainly 6ts mix was what heard Main hall smart, good seating all around and all that, late bar, normal prices. Crowd wise, lot of the usual rogues, someone mentioned tourist once with regard to this place, but didnt spot any meself , crowd thinned out bit later on. All seemed enjoying it. DJ wise, some of North West names caught as didnt get there till 12 ish were Carl Willingham, Terry Davis, Kev Murphy and Dave Holt. Dishing out their current top sounds
All car load thoroughly enjoyed nite give it a thumbs up. Heard that plans for a monthly regular niter till 6am here on the third saturday were solid and after the nov date would adopt that format. So that may be of interest with those planning events. Know cause of all these possible clashes thinking of moving the 2003 DMSC series of rare soul mayhem nites to a Wednsday afternoon.!
 
CLEETHORPES WEEKENDER
Word on the 6ts 100 Club website is that this has been sold out already. Ouch!! The other major Weekender of 2003 at Presatyn is going very well, and along with the quality Conniseurs weekend at Llandudno it seems that the old saying "you can have your cake and eat it three" rings true. Said last year about these events "Soul for the Soul Fans run by Soul Fans" You Know The Real Score!!
 
MORE OLD SCHOOL TRICKS - when will they learn ? Seems a lot of people are upset with a certain promoter/dj with some rocket-style dirty tricks up in Yorkshire way
 
FINAL WORD Mate caught Johnathen Ross show on radio 2. Seems Dale Winton was guest, on show Ross mentioned Northern, apparently your man Dale Winton said hes well into it, says has loads of records and is a regular at that Rocket.....
and as cant think of anything to say after that! Seems a good place to finish. mike h

Lot of interest on this one. See next post for a taste of what you are gonna get twatted with. Busy times, good times, leave you with a old saying " Cream Always Rises To The Top"

Review: Allniter4 Cd

1. The Phonetics - Just A Boys Dream 2. Jeanette Williams - Somethings Got A Hold On Me 3. Joey Delorenzo - Wake Up To The Sunshine Girl 4. Venicia Wilson - This Time Im Loving You 5. Vontastics - Ill Never Say Goodbye 6. The Brothers feat. George Young - Are You Ready For This 7. Clarence Carter - Messin With My Mind 8. Diane Pane - What Side Your Bread Is Buttered On 9. Helen Troy - I Think I Love You 10. Big Maybelle - Quittin Time 11. The 5th Dimension - Too Poor To Die 12. Fred Smith Orchestra - Baby Do The Philly Dog 13. Roy Handy - Baby Thats A Groove 14. The Blue Jays - (It Depends On The) Point Of View 15. Allan Sisters - Im In With The Downtown Crowd 16. Marva Jones - I Got Your Number (634 - 5789) 17. Pioneer Band - Jive Talk 18. Melvin Boyd - Exit Loneliness, Enter Love 19. Bud Harper - Let Me Love You 20. Brooks ODell - Watch Your

I picked this up last weekend and having now played it several times, I think its the weakest of the series so far. There are some corking tracks on it such as The Blue Jays, Allen Sisters. There are more oldies on there than usual and the "modern" stuff isnt all that. The Diane Pane track is terrible - tracks like this give the r and b genre a bad name.

Overall, a disappointment - 5 out of 10.

Plinston Hall Update October

Things are manic as always in the run up to the next soulful night at the Plinston Hall in Letchworth. So, rather then the normal individual e-mail to each and every one of you we have taken the step of mailing this cover all mail and hope that those of you who run your own sites and newsletters etc will be good enough to post those bits you feel are relevant.
Firstly due to the overwhelming success of our opening night (and a HUGE thank you to all of you who supported us) we have opened a second room upstairs for the November 1st event concentrating on Modern and crossover goodies. The Gallery Suite (known as The Ghetto - Its a family affair) overlooks the Kennedy Gardens and has a 16ft x 16ft dancefloor with a huge carpeted area for those who cant squeeze on! There is a separate bar and toilet facilities and DJs for this try out will be Taffy, TheBigO and Nathan. Open from 10pm-1.30am. Expect to hear such gems as Mr Day Soul on wax; Mind&Matter Under your spell, Gloria Gaynor Mend whats been broken; Millie Jackson Dont send nobody else and Lisa Stansfield 831 to name but a few.
We are hoping that come March all 3 rooms will be open on a regular basis, but more on that later. The opening of The Ghetto allows us to throw in an extra 100 soulies and so we should see an easing of the crush on the dancefloor of the first night. In addition we have had a long and productive chat with the Plinston management and have addressed many of the opening night teething problems, namely more bar staff, more beer, no drink on dancefloor enforced by Security etc etc. So hopefully we should see an improvement on all fronts, let us know if you have any concerns on the night. November 1st is the next event from 8pm-2am and features our very special guests, Dave Rimmer, Dudleys top bunny, with his brand of top notch
Northern goodies and the lovely Nick&Dawn Brown, faces behind the successful and scene leading Scenesville events in our nations capital. Expect tip top sounds to get you fighting for dancefloor space from them. They will of course be supported by the Usual Suspects!
WE STRONGLY STRONGLY ADVISE if you are travelling to purchase your advance ticket from the box office before the night as we think this will be another sell out, probably in less than the 2hrs it took our opening night to sell out!!!!! Dont be caught out, get it sorted!!!
On that note the Plinston done gone changed their box office number. The new number to call is: 01462-672003. Denis monotone voice will guide you through the buttons to press, please do try and stay awake! We have booked all of 2003 events and so can you make a note of these.
They are: Fri 7th March, 9th May, 4th July, 5th Sept (Anniversary Do with Live Act we hope) and 7th November. If you are a fellow promoter let us know if we clash and well do our best to get things sorted out so no-one is left holding the baby so to speak.
Future guests that we are hoping to confirm shortly inc. Butch, Andy Rix, Soul Sam, Ady C (for a West Hampstead memories night) and Guy Hennigan.
Oh, forgot, all future event tickets will be on sale on the night (i.e Jan 10th will be available on the 1st Nov night). See the Sinister Sisters, Jane & Jenny, on the night.
One last mention, Sat 16th November sees Randy Cozens celebrating 17yrs of Southgate (or Soulgate as we all know and love it) at Ye Olde Rising Sun, opposite the BR station in Southgate from 11am to midnight.
24+ DJs inc Taffy and TheBigO and the whole range of soulful grooves. Top man, top dayer and all for free!!!! Having missed only a couple over the years we can strongly recommend This thing of ours.
Many a tip top tune has been played there first and then gone onto bigger and better things across the country, such as Bobby Kline, Teddy Pendergrass, Anette Snell, Millie Jackson the list is endless.
Check out the scenes best kept secret and the greatest little soul alldayer - EVER! (Trademark)
Thats all for now then brothers&sisters.
Look forward to seeing many of you on the night. Til then, remember...Time is passing us all by, so be young, be foolish but above all else.......
BE HAPPY! North Herts 6Ts Mafia

Sad News Don Varner RIP

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 returned to Alabama after six years to record in Muscle Shoals.[2] at Rick Hall's FAME Studios. He wrote songs including "I Keep Holdin' On" for Sam & Dave (with William Crump). Varner also worked with Quin Ivy in Sheffield, Alabama[2] and released several songs including "Masquerade", "Down in Texas", and "Tear Stained Face" on the South Camp and Quinvy labels.
Varner did not release many recordings but performed numerous live shows in the South with other major soul performers.[2] He moved to California in the 1980s and toured as the lead singer of the Johnny Otis Show.[2] He toured numerous European music festivals in 1985. In his later, career, he began to record gospel music. He died in Moreno Valley, California in 2002 of a heart attack at the age of 59. An album of his music from 1968–1974 entitled Finally Go Over! was released posthumously.
