Certain things are taken for granted and when they are taken away it is hard to imagine life without them especially when they dont cost you a penny and give you superb enjoyment and pleasure at the expense of someone elses hard work , time and cost as is the case with The Soul Club website.

So I think a big big thanks is due to Mike Hughes for Soul Source who has provided this superb outlet for the past few years which has given so much pleasure and information to anyone who has been lucky enough to be involved with it and in my opinion has played a major part in the progression of the modern day rare soul scene and should be totally appreciated for this.

Thanks Mike.

Well said Craig, it is easy to take things for granted. Thanks Mike.

BTW Craig, are you after a moderators job ?

Depends on the hours, pay and company pension. I've heard the current moderators are on £20 an hour , work 100 hours a week and retire on full pay when they are 50. So yes.

They're not in it for the money Craig. Believe me.

I think you are wrong there Win.

Yeah, big ups to Mike and the gang. I always recommend this site to anyone who doesn't know about it. There's always something to learn here and if it disappeared tomorrow I'd be well pee'd off.

I've got cancer now which has spread to my brain and I'll probably be dead this time next year, but clicking on here always cheers me up.

Long live Soul-Source.

Thanks Mike ! Strange how this place has become a part of my everyday life. While I am at it...Thanks to everyone else who's ever helped me on here, or just left a smart ass response!

Got to agree with all the above posts.....thanks Mike....

So what did we do before soul-source!!!!!.....

I second that emotion - so often hard work is taken for granted. I also spend time on a football site for my home town team and when the forum crashed it was like losing a limb. Well done MIke Great environment for all soul fans. Make sure it never splinetrs into sectarian factions, my collection goes from rare northern to funk and deep and back again long live the voice.

And then some !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scince i ex-patted meself this site has played a big part in keeping me connected to my life back home and just helps my mental hygene a little.

Great job Mike

And keep it up all you ss'rs

See you next summer.

Agreed. Thanks very much Mike.

May I also extend my humble gratitude, thanks Mike.

Through this site I've met some weird and wonderful people, Janine, Brett, Jamie, Rich Buckley, Dave Abbott, Karen C, Soulsmith, Moldie amongst others. Thinking about it, you've got a lot to answer for Mr Hughes!

They're not in it for the money Craig. Believe me.

You mean there all on a power trip

Jokes aside.......l couldn't have put it better Craig, since joining my knowlage has doubled and the best of all have met so many really good friends through this site so well done to Mike, long time moderator Nick, and the rest of the team old and new keep it up Apart from that mr Higgins

seriously, this site is excellent. i am sure mike will agree that it will also go from strength to strength in the future too.

nice one Mike

Shane

errr.. ever had that feeling that someone knows something you dont:)

nah... thanks for the thanks, all appreciated, would just like to say that the only reason site is where its at today, is due to the many involved with site, both moderators and members, past and present, who put in a lot of time and effort that often as it occurs in background, only one or two are aware of. Think its more than fair to say that without their efforts the site would be nowhere close to what it is today (or even still here )

thanks

Just to say that apart from being the wrong side of the Border you do a great job.

Steve

couldn't agree more with all said above

brilliant site

Completely agree!!!

I think this is an important point Mike, that you have invited people to become involved in a responsible (mostly ) manner.

The sites that have struggled or dissapeared over the last few years such as KTF downloads, Soulclub, Northern soul music etc have all suffered apparently due to the cost of running the sites and also the time they require. I'm sure if people were aware of problems beforehand there would be no shortage of people willing to help out financially or with their time.

Since joining the site I have learned loads and also made some very good friends.

Thanks for the great job you've done.

Dave, i'm shocked mate, tell me this ain't true

Lenny

The site is technically brilliant as well - innovative in fact.

As an ex-pat returning to the scene this year this site has been invaluable.

Thanks, Jim

Well done Mike et al As someone's already said, this site is now a daily part of many people's lives and long may it continue. Very very much appreciated (and you're welsh so you're doubly ace )

Rich

Yes he is a grand bloke and a bloody computer genius as well, ever helpful, always knowlegable and can spell a lot better than me, just like to add my thanks as well,

cheers

Rob

You mean there all on a power trip

Nah, it's the "special benefits"

Well said Craig... well done and thanks Mike for a great site

Others have said it all, really, so just a "thanks" from me too. Take care, see you out and about.

Nice one Mike

Ack, ack

Nick

Andy

Yes!!!! I know how hard Mike work's on this site. Hes up all hours of the night, as I see the light on when I go to work at 3.45am during the week. Nice one Mike.

Top man Mike.Great site.Enjoy what little time I can spend on here.Very informative as well.

Dave.

Great job on the site, mike

Xcuse me for not knowing but have you ever had specific Soul-Source parties? Be kinda cool to all congregate in one venue now and again..

And I'll just add me pennies worth .... it's a fab site and met sooooo many lovely people over the last 12 months who I can class as "mates" ... too many but special ones are all on stoke thread and KarenC who was a great help at a dull time .. thanks girl .

Mike, you're brill, I really don't know how you do it, you're always so busy but always got time for us lot of "mods" moaning, groaning, passing the blame , well done young Man, lots of beer in stall at the Stoke Dayer for you.

The only down side is that I was going on SS so much at work that eventually they took internet off my PC :angry: . Start a new job next week so we'll see what I can do there

da iawn chdi mike , me wlai di yn y mwnci,

cel thomas

I echo what Cel said.

and if it want apt. Cheers Mike :-)

Had been looking at the site pics & flyers for a few years and stumbled on the forum about a year ago in search of Deon Jackson.

Jon Buck's pics in the gallery ! - Mello Souls by Hippo (I think) in the sounds gallery ! - Numerous flyers & artists etc to graze .... But best of all the members forum. Friendly, funny & knowledgeable Soul Folk.

Priceless. Cheers Mike.

This is without doubt one of the worst sites i have ever been on, and is the reason why i hardly use it........

..........Just joking........Hats Off to "The Man"

Got to admit its a become a daily part of my life...even at times when I can't get out and about I've been able to keep up with whats been going on on the soul scene...so a big thanks from me too

Also, for the many chuckles that its members have provided for me on a really down day.. and the amount of times I've had to clean the pc screen after spitting various liquid refreshments at it after happening upon a particularly hilarious thread....many many thanks Please keep up the good work

Couldn't do without my daily SS fix! Many, many thanks

Colin

So nice to see all the comments on here to a top bloke...Without soul source we would have never known there is life in Sheffield,Rugby and many many more places that aint on the map.. ..We have all met so many nice people (and a few not so nice )from being on here and i know people like Joan,Rachel,Dave,Shane and many more would not have a life without it ..Through soul source i met Brett and he got me off the waggon on back onto the wonders of all day/night drinking...People use this site for many reasons,some have even got dates and sexy encounters ..Its part of daily life now and just what is needed for a bunch of sad folk who never go out..Long may it shine and god bless all (well most) who have nothing better to do...

I am glad i met Mike Hughes,he helped keep rare soul alive along with many others on here...He gave Shane a job and got him off the streets..Keep smiling and speak to you all soon because you aint got nowt else to do...

steve...

Soul or Nothing..

Well done Mike. You do a fantastic job which is truly appreciated from someone who has trouble cutting and pasting.

Not been on here for a couple of days... so have just read all of this

Top site and thanks Mike and everyone else involved

because of the input on here it helps when buying stuff.. recomendations ... boots or originals...etc...

So I extend my thanks to everyone else for there input... I feel a bit of love coming on ... better go again
