Is it really all doom and gloom on the scene? What do you love about it? Hearing new sounds, hearing old soulnds, clapping, dancing, chatting discussing records. What venues do it for you, notice I've not said what venues don't. Danny's got a thread for things that annoy you. Is it the cameraderie, is it the fact that even though we have many cyber arguments, when we're at venues we're basically of one mind and one goal, out to enjoy ourselves. There must be other positives, lets hear them, but please keep the negatives out, Danny's thread can deal with that, and as Simsy says perhaps time for something more upbeat

Nothing I can say that hasn't already been said in all these great posts .

But just one thing......

I thought for all these years that every stranger who came over to me for a chat was on the pull

I therefore assumed that I am a complete and utter fox (quiet there at the back).

And now, like Fagin-I think I'd better think it out again.....

I'm not sure if any women have pointed it out in this thread yet, but my female friends/sisters say one of the BEST things about the soul scene is that, it they wanted to, they could go to a do on their own and feel totally comfortable which in this day and age is really something!

Of course though, as you have discovered, that is partly due the the guys placing the music above women in order of importance, Just for a few hours mind....

I'm not letting you anywhere near my hen-house

That feeling when that certain record comes on and you're just at the right stage of the night ( beer wise ) you get on the dance floor and next thing you're on planet zog!!

A nuclear bomb could go off 50 yards away but you wouldn't notice - pure heaven

Always playing in my head, the soundtrack to my life.

I must have the soulie gene, because when i hear it my feet want to go into twinkletoes mode and whizz my old heavy body around at speeds far too undignified for it's age - but who cares! And good people too !

Positives for me is still managing to find neck tingling 60's tunes that you either missed the first time around or forgot in the deluge. Bit like i did with this one.Still no need to throw my lot in with the 80's & 90's sound yet eh : )
