Popular Post Winsford Soul Posted November 18, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted November 18, 2017 Just put on a brave face on Monday when all the knobs in the world will crawl out from the normal sad lives and try to poke fun at our way of life.

Hang your heads in shame all those involved. Typical twaddle from Martin Dixon Firstly, the Weekender of Nov 10-12 was top notch with great DJs at a fantastic venue. The Strictly involvement has nothing to do with the NS promoters or even Tower management. The BBC film at the venue once a year. They have chosen to focus on Northern. That is their prerogative and I repeat zero to do with us When you have as many achievements as Richard and I, let me know, until then......... 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

You have been duped as the BBC wanted to up the viewing figures.. You are all part of a scam ???? Not happy. Didn't have any spare Betamax tapes so I had to record over Paul O'Grady, only to discover it wasn't on last night's show. Damn you, BBC.

Popular Post spot Posted November 19, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted November 19, 2017 Belittled once again by the BBC & a Bird from Bristol plus a Boyo called Brendan. This is worse than the One Show and the Media Mugging of the 70's. Hurry up and sod off you lot, we'd like our scene back, Oh and please ban anyone who dares to go on TV or you tube to promote themselves. 5 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I don't think the fuss is about the show, it's about (In my case) the muppets it brings out of the undergrowth, you know like idiots with Flashing shoes, Emu costumes or Simon Cowell masks, who never actually went anywhere but their Uncle knew someone who did, maybe, Butlins types. They'll all stream onto the Oldies Scene, no doubt in fancy dress to blend in, as they think that's what it's all about.

If you had a baracuta Harrington stolen it's an expensive jacket.....actually anything stolen is well out of order and not good....mind you years ago they would steal anything, records out your bag, coats etc....you get dick heads everywhere unfortunately........Rob Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Well from the fancy dress pictures I have seen it wasn't my idea of top notch Kev but we'll agree to disagree on that. As for achievements, well I'm on this scene for the love of the music & not to gain achievements but each to their own I guess.

Seano Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Gordon Bennett. Skimmed through the comments and I thought maybe it was a bit of a harsh reaction, but then I went back and watched the trailer/clip that started the thread. other than their use of the two words, "Northern" and "Soul" I cannot for the life of me see what the connection with our scene is. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest brian smith Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Does it really matter that much? Think we should chill and take it for what it actually means to the scene. Nothing thats what. And has for having a dig at Kev Roberts and co i find that embarrassing. Ultimatley it is a business but a business that brings joy to a lot of people.

Popular Post Coolnotes Posted November 19, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 19, 2017 Apparently there's an underground national dance scene where people travel some distances and thrive on dancing to music that is ignored by most of the music press and business and mainstream media. Their passion for the music, love of dancing and each other sees them rise above ridicule and contempt and commercialism... but thats enough about latin ,ball room and sequence dances ..

Popular Post Frankie Crocker Posted November 19, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted November 19, 2017 Much ado about nothing... Saw a big Northern Soul CD in the background... A bit of Nashville line dancing mixed up with Run DMC breakers and some of the cast of Fame...sub-standard Junior School Christmas Concert fare... Over in about three minutes, a few bars of Frank and a feeble cover of Edwin Starr. Somebody at the BBC should get a bollocking for mis-naming this dross. I was all set to take the poster of Lev off my bedroom wall but it can stay there now. Anton, Craig and Bruno, I invite you to dance on the 100 Club rutted parquet whilst Jud films you...
