Theme Park Update (part 3) and reply
funny the event has not even started and somone who failed to put their name to the comment has already started to have a go a little, tell you what if that person would like to email me direct bicknellmark@aol.com I will see what I can do as a gesture of good faith to him or her infact Ill pay for your ticket myself ok. See we are not all bad, funny a number of folk seem to think Im behind this event but again this is not the case, yes Im very involved with the DJ side of things etc. but it stops there, we should welcome a new event of this scale with open arms and to be honest £10.00/£12.00 on the door is hardly the kings ransome is it in this day and age, what i can promise is a state of the art venue with easy access from all points of the compass, first class sound system, good music and the promoters hope its going to be a regular monthly Allnighter as its booked for the last Saturday in the month throughout 2004.
A ten hour Allnighter from 9pm through 7am which is a £1.00 an hour...seems ok to me. I dont wish to get into a debate with someone I dont know nor do I want to fall out with anyone but your comment has been noted.
Keep it real - Mark Bicknell.
100% Right Big Daddy. I just wish to show my support for what mark has said in his above article. There are some people on this Scene who expect to still pay £5 into a major venue. These Tw*ts live in dreamland and may i suggest they wake up and get with the real world. How much work do you think promoters go through to provide you lot with somewhere to go and listen to the music you love and be surrounded by like minded people of all ages. These moaners dont think of all the hassle re venue owners, decks,lighting,bar staff,flyers,adverts,djs,door staff,security etc etc. I remember people going ....oh the CSC boys must be doing alright money wise....i just F*cking Laughed and said little do they know the full extent of running a night and the cost involved. Last xmas Alan and I was £170 down and some nights made £40 (the djs get £80/£100 each). All i can say mark is F*ck them let them moan on the grave of the Northern scene cause if this underlining crap continues we will lose young promoters and dJs. People listen to me...a nightclub will cost you £15 with a bottle of beer £3+ and the music will be chart sh*t and maybe a fight or witness someone getting glassed etc. If you dont wish to pay £10 for a nighter then F*ck off somewhere else.
People have to be paid a decent wage (door staff,djs etc) and venues are not cheap...may i suggest your local old mans/womens club where you can sit and moan allnight to like minded people (not fair on the workers club really i know), Good luck a say to all Promoters except the real con artists. I cant wait for the return of the rare soul scene to return to the pub basement to be honest with ya. Then itll be back to £5 and youll have something else to moan about.
Give it up to the Bicknell whos Dad drove the greatest band ever! The Beatles.
Respect
Greg
ps We be giving out over 100 free cds at the 4th anniversary of the CSC and im sure some people will find something wrong with that also . Put them up against a wall and shot the lotta them i say LOL
Breakaway - Toni Basil a video to catch?
Check this write up out below, havent seen it but apparently its all to the backing of breakaway. Anyone caught it ?
In the five-minute-long "Breakaway," Conner lifts the formula of pop music and garishly overworked images that is Kenneth Angers private domain into a new realm of dazzling slickness--and makes it clear that, for five minutes at least, Conner is a one-woman man. (Anger covers the waterfront; Conner is a serial monogamist.)
The film consists of a young pop singer-cum-dancer named Antonia Christina Basilotta (thats Toni Basil to you) frugging, shimmying, and Isadora Duncaning her way naked around a black-on-black photographers studio while Conner smacks her with a series of frenetic zoom-ins that mime the coarse sexuality of slam-dancing.
The mix of manic editing, collision-oriented zoomage, Basils own dreamy kinda-black voice, and 78 costume changes make this the most freakily un-tender Valentine ever written to a female movie star.
The piece startlingly approximates the quality of a rough but totally awestruck fuck.
Youll rewind it again and again.
Last Ever Tonys Niter at Blackburn Next Month
Keele Sat 05 Apr look back
This was the third niter since re-opening with the much improved format and feel. Enjoyed the last two and already in my view can be rated as one of the premier UK niters.
Got to mention though shame that this one clashed with Tonys Blackburn niter, as yet again punters had to choose between two niters. And know a fair few who did go to Tonys attended the last Keele and more than likely would have again if no clash and also the other way around.
Looking well forward to this as was first meet up of a group of us, we used to knock around down south a few years ago together. But over time we have moved all over place. Try and meet up fairly regular at decent events but been over a year since we all managed to meet up
So first hour or so was spent in bar area catching up
Moved into main room when Butch took over and as always great stuff , great sounds , crowd up for it, full floor . Still Eric Lomax track doing the buisness for me, Ally Mayers, Roger Banks and Mick H followed and all gave out top drawer quality enjoyable sets, nite was finished with a oldies set by Rob Smith
Overall had a great nite, with its location, its dj policy and the crowd it attracts got to say that this niter is now a must go on my list.

CSC Photos Last Friday
CSC Dome Friday - Pics and words
Friday 28th March 2003 saw the return of Sidney Barnes to the Dome where he had made his UK debut! Once again it turned out to be a very, very special night as Sid performed for the first time ever, anywhere, his unissued Jobete song, "Safety zone", along with "Heart trouble" which he co-wrote for The Parliaments on Golden World records, and his two perenial Northern Soul classic, "Youll always be in style" and "I hurt on the other side". Sid invited some dancers up on the stage to dance along with him as he sang as he wanted a "Soul Train" effect...read on and check out the pictures...

YORKSHIRE RIDER 15/03/03 Review
the Prestatyn and Llandudno weekenders - whod have thought soul heaven
was in Wales;-)))))) Both of these weekenders were excellent, great
soulies, great soul acts, great music thanks to the organisers of both
these weekenders all their hard work certainly showed in the end
results. Im already looking forward to the next ones in 2004.
Although the weekenders did take some recovering from, theyre well
worth almost certainly knocking ten years off my life. I sometimes
have flashes of the distant (I hope) future, in these flashes Im at the
nursing/retirement home that my daughter has thoughtfully picked out
for me, Im always sat in the Shackleton high seat chair (you know) with
the incontinence knickers safely in place and left over dried food stuck
to my chin - lovely picture Im painting;-)))) The only difference
between myself and the other residents is the huge smile on my face, as
I recollect perfect memories of the wonderful soul filled days of what
some might say (non-soulies) is a mis-spent "middle age." Well I can
safely say Ive never misspent anything and Im hoping for many more
memory forming soulful years
;-))))
Anyway old age looming aside at least there was the Rider soul night to
anticipate, but then even this usually looked forward to event in my
social calendar seemed to be developing all the hallmarks of an
impending disaster. Saturday had started badly enough with the bad news
about Sid Barnes (see end of review for more details). We were also a
resident DJ light as Alex had told us the month previous he was going to
a mates stag do at the Cala Gran Togetherness extravaganza, Eddie one of
the other residents was going to be doing an early spot as he was doing
a guest set later on that night at the Greatstone Hotel, Manchester. We
had compensated for this asking Mark Hanson to do a set, but then as we
arrived at the club to set up for the night we received a message from
Guy saying he had an emergency on and wouldnt be able to come that
night. So we were two residents light, I myself thought this would be
to my advantage as I would get to hear more of Colins records played
out, but it wasnt to be as Mick H (who was doing a guest set at the
Golbourne nighter later) arrived and said hed do a set for us. Joking
aside thanks to both Mark and Mick for helping out and Col still managed
a fine set at the end of the night so I think everyone was pleased at
the final outcome.
Numbers through the door were as expected considering we were up against
two allnighters, one weekender and numerous soul nights up and down the
country so it was a great to see all those soulies that chose to come to
the Rider. Apart from three unhappy soulies, well two unhappy and one
disgruntled, every one seemed to enjoy the good company and great toons.
I asked one of the three soulies that left early, why they hadnt
enjoyed the night, he said that they didnt know any of the toons played
(see playlist, yes I even managed a playlist this time, at end) "Not
even the Vanguards" I replied "We travel all over" he said "and Ive
never heard that before". I responded by telling him that we too
travelled all over and that I heard that particular toon so many times
that I had renamed it "Good times, Bad times, 6 times" (good sound
though nevertheless) Still they came along and even though they probably
wont come again at least they gave us a try. They were obviously into
the more well known oldies and as we all know Northern soul venues are
split into many different factions which all come under the umbrella of
the Northern Soul scene. It wouldnt do for us all to like the same,
the whole scene would become staid and boring very soon if that was the
case. Its also part of whats kept Northern soul alive for so long.
Traveller of the night award was going to go to another pair of Rider
Club virgins Gordon Hamilton&Julie this time from Edinburgh, Gordon or
Hammy as he is known (dont know why hes called Hammie, he never
explained his nickname;-)))) is one of the promoters of Souler Power in
Edinburgh. It was also his birthday on Sunday, but he started to
celebrate as the clock struck midnight, he was bemoaning the fact that
he was 29!!!!! If only!!!!!!! (see previous whinge about my birthday on
the Friday;-)))))
Thanks to Eddie and Mark for helping Colin set up for the night and our
heartfelt thanks to everyone who came along for making it as usual a
great night.
Referring back to my earlier mention of Sidney Barnes, as some of you
may already know, and for those of you who dont, we have unfortunately
had to cancel his live appearance at the Rider in May due to unforeseen
circumstances. To those of you who had already purchased tickets,
thanks, the money will come in very handy :-)))) Seriously folks, a
refund is on its way to you, even as I type Colin is busy sticking n
licking and I wish hed stop it as its beginning to chafe a bit now
:-)))) No, no seriously folks, we would like to say how sorry Col&I
are for bringing you this bad news. We hope you will be able to catch
Sids performance at one of the other venues he will be appearing at.
Now for those of you who like lists, heres the Rider playlist for the
night, apologies for any errors that you eagle eyed knowalls :-))))))
But as Ive said many, many times before what seems perfectly legible on
leaving the club, a week later seems to transform into hieroglyphics:

Mighty Sam - Georgia pines
Jackie Wilson - Just be sincere

Mikki Farrow - Set my heart at ease

Platters - Going back to Detroit
Geno Washington - Ill be around
Jimmy Holiday - Ive been done wrong
Chosen Few - Birth of a playboy
Volcanos - False alarm
Unlimited Four - Walk away lover
Big Dee Irwin - You satisfy my needs
Considering that this soul night could have almost been Eddie, Kitch and
three hours of Colin behind the decks, (dont get me wrong, I wouldnt
have complained at that prospect) we were treated to some additional
gems from Mark and Mick and as you can see some spanking toons hit the
decks that night.
So if there is a moral to this story:- All you budding jocks out there
take note, it may be worthwhile taking a playbox out with you on the off
chance that one of the listed DJs at the venue you have chosen for your
evenings entertainment doesnt make it :-))))))
Whilst I am on the subject of DJs not being able to make it, next
months guest DJ is not as flyered. Ion will not be able to make the
trip this time so we will be entertained by Paul McNamara, who I believe
is stocking up on Goldmine and Grapevine discs in anticipation of his
unexpected guest spot at the Rider on April 12th :-))) Joking aside
having heard Paul DJ at other venues I know he has some great records,
lets just hope he fetches them with him
:-))))
If you cant wait until next month get yourself to the Yorkshire Rider
website, http://totn.topcities.com where youll hear loads of good
toons.
See ya next month.
Soulfully yours,
Shirley.

Drunken Monkey At The Springfield report to follow
Snake Davis & The Suspicions Review by Dave Box
Snake Davis & The Suspicions, Live at The Frobisher, Wakefield, 22nd February 2003.
By opening time at 8pm there were already in excess of 70 people, and the atmosphere was starting to tingle. By 9pm the room was full to bursting and the atmosphere was electric with the crowd full of anticipation. Dave started the night off on a high, with the dance floor full immediately, and then Fred took over and built things up even higher, ready for the appearance of the band. hit read more for rest and also pics
Snake Davis and the Suspicions, on their third visit to the Frobisher, came on stage at 9.45, kicking off with three classic instrumentals: Tune Up, The Champion and Time Is Tight; then a classic Marvin Gaye track Abraham Martin & John, which showed the bands inspired musical talents. "Lets see you all dancing, I cant wait to get out on the floor to good old Northern Soul. Our reception at the Frobisher just gets better and better." says Snake. Jackie & Doreen, the vocalists, were dancing away in the corner, waiting to do their thing. Snake, Jackie & Doreen picked up the first vocal in What Does It Take… Call Me…. then Open The Door To Your Heart, soulfully mastered by Doreen, and Meet Me At Midnight belted out by Jackie. The dance floor was really jumping by now. That Driving Beat, Take This Heart Of Mine, Where Im Not Wanted… Turning My Heart Beat Up did just that, then a brilliant rendition of Sweetest Feeling had everybody singing, bringing memories flooding back of yesteryear. Snake and the band just get better, they put heart and soul into every second, and Jackie and Doreen are fantastic.
The crowd was absolutely fantastic - a mix from one 14 year old to an ageless couple - all with differing musical tastes, but with one common aim: to have a great night out listening and dancing to soul music, played live by the greatest little soul band in the land, without any of the hang-ups and politics that often mar our scene. Dave and Fred provided some great tunes straight from the vinyl whilst the band were off-stage, with the crowd showing their appreciation by packing the dance floor all night. Sadly this does not happen too often these days.
Fred announced the second set at 11.45 and the band came back with The Duck, Love Is A Good Foundation, My Baby Comes Back To Me, You Hit Me, Youve Been Gone Too Long… The dance floor was heaving. The band carried on with the Gene Chandler and Barbara Acklin classic Teacher to the Preacher, then How Sweet It Is. You Need Me was next - penned by the bands keyboard player, Paul Birchall. A Little Misunderstanding followed, then Doris Troys Ill Do Anything, finishing off with the much loved 70s track Love Is A Serious Business.
12.30 and the band goes off - the crowd are stamping and clapping for more, and, with such encouragement, the band eagerly encored with Frank Wilsons classic Do I Love You (Indeed I Do) and finally, the ageless soul instrumental Green Onions.
Dave went back on the decks to keep the momentum going and at 1pm Fred came on, keeping up the beat, keeping the floor full until 2pm … and later…. The diversity of the crowd did not affect the night: oldies - newies - 60s - 70s - 80s - in fact, a full, across the board mix, and still they packed the dance floor. On reflection, it reminded us of the time when the Northern Soul scene was new, every sound was a "newie" and with open minds we loved them all.
A few comments from the crowd included: Chris Mallows with his son and daughter "Thats it now, my sons hooked"; From a Huddersfielder "Fantastic - let everyone know when they (Snake & Suspicions) are here again; Karen saying the night brought back wonderful memories. Everyone had a brilliant night and want to see the band again next year. It looks like April 2004 will be a date in red on the calendar.

Billed DJ line up was : Butch, Andy Dyson, Roger Banks, Bob Hinsley, Carl Willingham, Dave Rimmer, Chris Anderton, Derek Pearson, John Weston, Chic, Cliff Steele, Eddie Engle, Alex Jones, and Bernard.
Caught 95% of above and all did the buisness to my ears
Copped a load of great sounds upstairs bit as well, a lot of quality 70s+
Going for a chill out moment upstairs and instead being treated to Bob H doing a 6ts uptempo uproar spot,
Overall a great weekend, great sounds. a laugh and everything worked well.(With the added attraction on me doorstep)
2004 - put me down
Big thanks to promoters, these things must take a lot of effort and time,hats off
Next years dates up as soon as out
