Guest Nick Harrison Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 (edited) There is no God! But to them he is God on the other end of the mic Steve - being Dicky Searling. I can only say this must be one hell of a profit making event for both Kev and Richard. When you hear RS playing brand new upto date release's on his current radio show and at his own Hilton events, it's kind of very sad when witnessing that footage. . But hey ho !!!!

Soul16 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 That's what is so good about the Northern scene - It's constantly evolving and renewing itself.

Steve L Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 They're certainly having fun which is what its all about??? They can go and have fun at their local karaoke night or wherever they want to but this at a "northern" event? This is the very antithesis of what the scene is about. As mentioned previously can you remember the cool underground scene that we all got into? The one that divs knew nothing about? Another example of the dilution of things to the lowest common denominator to attract the maximum numbers and therefore maximum profit.

Guest dave nowell Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 (edited) https://www.facebook....150477196859532 Ive not been out in a while BUT is this okey kokey thing for real? Im in shock! I'm afraid it is. Doesn't it make you feel proud to be part of the NS scene? I saw this done to Jimmy Radcliffe at the end of one wkender this year! It shows the differing crowds that gather for different events. Thank God for Radcliffe all-nighter this weekend.............. ps Don't think Soul in the Sun deserves any stick tho...............it is a fun holiday with soul music thrown in. It doesn't claim to be a serious event (whatever that is these days!). Edited November 24, 2011 by dave nowell Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Bearsy Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 i started that and thought it was a great idea and everyone seemed to be enjoying it so much we all did a conga all the way to the pleasure beach then had a donkey race on the beach while some couldnt get donkeys so they did piggy backs they were the days Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
ritchie Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 This looks like the final record of the weekender,just a bit of togetherness fun after the completion of a weekends drinking. In a nut shell ,,, What's the biggest difference between now and then? Really felt it at Weston this year ... the calibre of dj's did in no way equate to the music played... These weekends are becoming piss ups first and soul events second... Really is all about a pound note for the promoters... Not Newquay I hasten to add .. still retained some dignity... although piss heads in evidence there too. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Another example of the dilution of things to the lowest common denominator to attract the maximum numbers and therefore maximum profit. PS I used to think Richard Searling was god Have to agree with you here...at the the risk of sounding like an old fart. We live in an age where we celebrate mediocrity and I am afraid it is slowly but relentlessly eroding the scene as it once was An earlier post hit the nail on the head "cool exciting and underground"..thats how I remember it but to find such atmosphere nowadays is becoming increasingly difficult I have no objection to anyone finding their enjoyment in whatever way the want but getting their kicks out on the floor like this at a "northerm" event just doesnt gel for me but like I said perhaps its my age... probably is. This links I think to another ongoing thread discussing smaller exclusive clubs being the way to go. Thats it really in a nutshell..erosion of exclusivity...without sounding elitist.

Dylan Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 that is just about as bad as it can get. the soul scene has become a parody of itself for many and the rare soul scene needs to completely detatch itself from the circus.
