And here's another one ......................................

Sometimes I weep like a child with my head in my hands and I ask the big G "Am I the only fooker who cares?"

Simon where did you find that clip, it's me in the background on my own again. laugh.gif

Decorated it in what way Karen?

What was it like?

Oh Joan, I walked in an my heart sank sad.gif

It's not blue, the far wall no longer boasts the elevated dance floor viewing area and it looked half the size laugh.gif

PS: the man in the forefront (or should I say young man) was the only one who in my opinion had soul. The rest, including my Daughter, were fakes. Oh, except me, Jo, Trickster and the other DJ's smile.gif

We tried to steal a fantastic Fred Perry that's not hit the shops yet but their very own Gok Wan demanded it off Lotties back before we left. laugh.gif

Hi Karen,

It was good of you to bring Lottie along on Sunday .. i'm glad you had a good time and got to revisit The Dome... That Fred Perry was a good'un wasn't it...it really suited Lottie.

I thought the day went really well and i thought all who came were brilliant ,.. really good to have Jo Wallace, Trickster, Rob Messer, Martin Morgan and Si Cheeba creating the sound track to the day too...

i know you enjoyed it !

see you on the 30th :thumbsup:

Dean

Fantastic Mike,

It looks like yet again we are going to have someone try to boil down our beloved scene so it can be presented in a convenient package so Joe Public can pretend to have a handle on what is at best a complex culture with many layers.

The stereo typical "Soul Boy" Oxford Bags and Feather Cuts is as fake as a tyranny's fanny!

If you want the reality then you have to follow with your cameras, not "Build it and they will come" because those who do "come" are as a typical and as representative of the Northernsoul scene as a bowler hat represents England!

If the "scene" is to be captured then it should be warts n all, we are all middle aged now with a slack handful of youngsters playing dressing up, I have nothing against people having fun and I'm not taking it too seriously it's just that the impact of these instant media bites resonate for eternity and there is more, and a lot more, to the Northernsoul than a jaunty pose or a back drop.

I care passionately about who we are and how we are portrayed, maybe the photographer would be better off coming to an Allnighter to see the sweat, wrinkles and passion rather than try to revisit Wigan Casino every time a reference to Northernsoul is made.

Yours, Simon Cuerden, not particularly trendy, not particularly photogenic but particular about Northernsoul.

All this from someone who can't even spell "Northern Soul"... Soul played in the north. Try using spellcheck next time.:ohmy:

At a Cleethorpes in the early noughties Jo W nicked someone's video camera and interviewed people at random through the Saturday night. The result was incredible, funny and passionate footage - no idea where it has got to.

:lol: Bloomin' heck, I did didn't I - I'd completely forgotten about that Paul.......I've a fair idea who's got it but tracking them down is another thing....now that would make a great YT clip :g:
