August 1, 200915 yr whats that ken Cut and paste into your browser,and it will take you too all that Jazzie B OBE talking rubbish thread on here. I know Mikey's closed his thread down probably rightly so. But I would like to make a point that I don't think has been raised - although I think it's quite relevant. Jazzy B goes to a Northern do up north - he feels uncomfortable so therefore the scene is racist. What an easy and lazy conclusion to arrive at. I would venture that anyone arriving at a Northern do for the first time - irrespective of the colour of your skin, would feel a little uncomfortable - I know I did all those years ago. Our scene is different - which is why many of us are into it. It is an underground scene - and our clubs were nothing like your main stream club - thank heavens! It does take a while to find your feet - I've said on here before that you had to "pass" your initiation. Which we've all done - ok a bit tongue in cheek. It had nothing to do with the colour of your skin - you might have been accused of being a div or a plastic! Jazzy B has demonstrated with his lazy, ignorant accusation that he knows nothing about our scene - yet from his lofty position he would have us all down as racists. It really is pathetic. Sorry - l had to get that off my chest. 0 Edited January 23, 201114 yr by ken
August 1, 200915 yr Anyway fellas I think Chris could be right with Vernon from Bradford or there was someone called Simon from wolverhampton who won 6th anniversery dance comp but not to clear on it........anyone
August 1, 200915 yr Think that you have well and truely nailed it there Ken...I always thought that when you first start going that you are 'On the outside looking in' and then (Whatever time it takes) 'You're on the inside looking out' ....Kinell it's not like us to be sensible is it,mate!? Hardly.
August 1, 200915 yr Did'nt he say "I tried to get into those clubs up north,and there was'nt a black face anywhere and they were so unfriendly people" think its on you tube somewhere. the guy 's full of shit It was on BBC's Black Music in the UK from about 4/5 years ago. That.s why I called him a t**t in other thread.
August 2, 200915 yr Anyway fellas I think Chris could be right with Vernon from Bradford or there was someone called Simon from wolverhampton who won 6th anniversery dance comp but not to clear on it........anyone No idea who it is but it's deffo not Simon or Vernon sure someone will recognise them though.

August 2, 200915 yr ...I know Trevor never went to Wigan, but he did go to a Northern Soul club a few years back whilst doing a documentary called 'Soul in Britain' or something like that anyway, and he commented on the lack of black people on the scene..Anybody help me out here?? T. Nelson went to Lowton for that TV Doc.

August 4, 200915 yr Thanks, I've been racking my brains trying to think of his name , I recognised his face but his name wouldnt come Didnt he use to hang about with another lad from up Appley Bridge way? Have been in touch with Jeff via Friends Reunited; that's how I know he's back in Shevington. Can't remember his friends name but lived locally at Shevington too. Jeff was in the Navy and often went to nighters with me and others from down South.
August 4, 200915 yr Thanks, I've been racking my brains trying to think of his name , I recognised his face but his name wouldnt come Didnt he use to hang about with another lad from up Appley Bridge way? was his friend Eamon?? a very handsome chap i fancied and kissed! wheres he gone, did he die? (that was a serious question, i seem to remember someone telling me he did but hopefully wrong!) x Edited August 4, 200915 yr by familytree
August 5, 200915 yr T. Nelson went to Lowton for that TV Doc. Still got it on video. Keb Darge was with him. Trevor Nelson was a bit unsure at first but came round when he realised people were just doing their own thing on the floor etc. He became familiar with some of the sounds during the night and said he even owned a couple. Thought it was ok mark C
August 6, 200915 yr was his friend Eamon?? a very handsome chap i fancied and kissed! wheres he gone, did he die? (that was a serious question, i seem to remember someone telling me he did but hopefully wrong!) x If you're thinking about Eamon Ashall from Wigan, I met him accidently in 1988. He was married, and living in Hove, West Sussex. We went out for a few beers, and I went round to his house. I hadn't seen him for about 12 years prior to that. I havn't seen him since. Paul

August 9, 200915 yr Its all a proper fuzzy wuzzy blur so I'm afraid I cannot now make any valuable or indeed positive contribution whatsoever to this thread but having read it from beginning to end I do know that I'm now absolutely no clearer as to the identity of said three lol
August 9, 200915 yr Me neither,love!! lol!! Watch this space cos all will be revealed in the fullness of time lol
September 11, 200915 yr Hi Harpo sorry that isn't Joey O'Meally, Joey had a big Afro at that time!

September 14, 200915 yr Hi Manus his name was Brian and he was from Peterlee.Regards Tim. Thanks Tim - his name had escaped me. And Peterlee makes more sense as there didn't really seem to be many niter folk around from Sunderland back then - odd considering how big the scene was in County Durham. Cheers Manus
September 14, 200915 yr Yes I think Jazzy B got that one wrong there was a regular crowd of black guys/girls that travelled to Wigan from the Gateshead/Newcastle area Jeffrey Joe Davie Joe Tony Joe Big Ray Maria And a young guy from Sunderland whose name I've forgotten Cheers Manus

Ali x I'm seeing Hazel later this week so I'll make sure she gives "the old git" a nudge about joining. No doubt he's a lurker on here (hello Pele if you're watching) but its silly that he's not a fully fledged member (unless he is & doesnt want us to know ) We'll get him on here by hook or crook - he's got so much to offer this site.

Rick I didn't say Newcastle Rick - there was a lot of folk travelled to all nighters from Tyneside I know because I was one of them and I knew Big Ray very well. I said that there were not a lot of niter folk from Sunderland which was a wee bit odd given how big the scene was in County Durham with places like Aycliffe and Darlington and Middlesborough packed with Soul fans. Cheers Manus
