Popular Post Chalky Posted August 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 24, 2023 Why didn’t they interview Richard or one of many others who are and have been involved with the scene. WTF does Craig Charles know? He’s never been on the scene. 12 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

PS: Richard is in it. Craig Charles neither is nor ever has been part of any scene you or I have been involved with. He has no real idea what happens. I’ve seen him at his normal gigs, hevturns up and then buggers off when he’s done his bit. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Hooker1951 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 I’m afraid it’s the time when all the part timers will come out of the woodwork, We all know so it shouldn’t really bother us, pretenders,part timers, phoneys really their just leaves off a tree, by October most of them will have disappeared again, ML Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Possibly cross wires I think , Chalky is talking about the original topic , not the post by Soulandy which does feature Richard and more , I could be wrong ! 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Wayoutgirl Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 I'm sure Craig Charles did have lots of vinyl back in the day in Coronation Street. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Bunderthollox Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 The less said about him the better. I know some quite disturbing tales of him in the 90s oh yes, and that's all I have to say. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Geeselad Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 How does a journalist come up with this crap and not ask, couldn't I talk to someone who was actually at Wigan? and if this is about now why don't we get someone into the scene now? And we could all be slagging off RS and one of those self proclaimed yoof leaders of the scene instead Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Roburt Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Looking forward to listening to this & what Richard has to say ... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Merve Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Got to say I'm at the stage now where any main stream media outlet that mentions Wigan or Northern Soul is avoided like the plague. Same old rubbish usually spouted by the same suspects who by now have convinced themselves that they are telling the truth, (we all know who the main culprit is), and repeated as fact by cretins who know no better..... It's a parallel universe I have no wish to populate. If you know you know as they say. 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Roburt Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 I'm sure Richard Searling will not be spouting the same old rubbish. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I didn't mention Richards name, you did & it wasn't him my dig was aimed at - but until anyone has the nerve to dispel the myths about Billboard, millions through the door at Wigan, no drug busts, etc etc I stand by my same old rubbish statement. If Richard or anyone else do this on Craig Charles show I will apologize unreservedly ! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Stevesilktulip Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Soul Source seems to be cosying up to clueless BBC presenters. I remember, around the time Craig Charles' Coronation Street character was - all of a sudden - a big northern soulie, I saw him interviewed and he admitted he was never much into northern soul and Frank Wilson seemed to be the only record he knew. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
