So thats 2 weekends on the trot when the antics at Blackpool Tower have cast an almighty dark shadow on a once great scene.
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.........

I read on social media that the Northern bit ain't on tonight.. 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.

What like drawing your nails down a blackboard or stubbing your little toe on the corner of an open door? I feel the pain already.

why all the fuss ,theres nowt we can do about it , don't watch the show anyroadsart am usually out and will be tonight , off to the Grovenor rooms to watch and listen to two of the best young DJs on the scene , think neither of them went to the Station Road Casino ,

 

Hey up Barney, hope your well & your good lady is also. 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. I stopped going to Oldies does after having an expensive Harrington nicked, the place was full of Tourists and pissheads, some after trouble, usually piss taking. BTW who's the 2 young Dj's, is it who I think?

Ha-ha it's about right but each to there own, I don't judge or really care. 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

RW is being invited to Strictly and his playing the original Frank Wilson followed by the Javaleers, follwed by either Wombat or the Snake is this a bad dream turning into a nightmare L o L, I'm only joking but be prepared for any kind of shock if you expect the worst it might not be that much of a dogs dinner

Are there any playlists for these young dj's to check out what they are playing ?

Top notch? 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.

UTB & all that:thumbsup:

The ‘Bird’ from Bristol is the daughter of a regular all nighter goer during the 80’s & 90’s, Stafford 100 club etc, maybe you should speak to her where her influence comes from ?

That's fine then, my Mum goes line dancing so that'll make me Billy Ray Cyrus. Bit behind times if they stopped in the 90's and imho her influences now are 15 minutes of fame, an income & a YT channel.

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.

Well to be honest I was expecting worse.. started off OK , turned into a scene from Fame really but I don't doubt  there will be many wishing to vent their fury , what a missed opportunity to have Tears for Fears on.. surely they could have afforded  Lisa Stansfield...

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. If u dont wanna go then dont. Simple.

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 .. Keep the Faith. 

 

Wasn’t the wombles an underground dance scene

The two young Dj,s are Pete Jones and Alex Simms Simpson. Both good lads . Both influenced by their parents and both can dance as well. No fancy dress either. Top blokes.

Exactly..................

As Vivian Alan James MacKerrell once probably said

"All right, this is the plan. We get in there and get wrecked, then we eat a pork pie, then we drop a couple of Surmontil-50s each. That means we'll miss out on Monday but come up smiling Tuesday morning."
