Following on from the What record got you in to soul topic i was surprised by the seeming young age of replys,As a dodering 53 year old come on whats your age? most people i see about seem around the same age as me.

Wow ....we do have some quite young folks on the scene ...

Dont see that many out and about tho

I'm 45 (NOT 50 Dendog that you told everyone on my birthday in october! ) LOL

I'm still 17 on the inside still have all the energy I did way back then ..I look in the mirror and see an old wrinkley staring back at me.....keep giving myself a hell of a Shock!

I turned 30 in December. About an hour ago I noticed there's an empty bottle of mineral water on my desk at work and the "Best before" date is the same as my 30th birthday. I kid you not.

Seems like there are quite a few people on the scene(s) who were born in the late 70's. Soul music found me in the mid/late 90's when Northern Soul was having one of its peaks.

No, we're not.

If we are younger, we have les time in the scene, and usually were hooked up by the 60s stuff and we haven't got tired of it, yet. I like a bit of crossover, but it's still the 60s material that does it for me.

Specially for me, as I'm thousands of miles away from all the big scenes. I'm kind of isolated, and soul-source is the only way to keep up with the current plays, etc...

Fook me when this thread started i was 59 and know i am 60 see you lot at winsford 7 th feb for the last allnighter there

62 , started at the twisted wheel in 1963, like to get out twice a month,

this month done the twisted wheel sunday session, 100 club all nighter ,down to leamington spa tuesday for marlena shaw and then blackburn K G H on 31 st

will stop when i get up and out on the floor and then cant remember what i got up for

didnt they play a track for a guys 70th at Prestwich a few months back?

45 still loving it. got my first taste in 1980 down south so nether went to any of the big name clubs up north didnt stop me from loving it. my boy is 18 in a couple of months he is showing a keen interest in the scene. probably the first boy who wishes he could dance like his dad lol

49 next month, but when I'm out dancing still feel like I did when I was 17, although the morning after sometimes feel 69. My wife used to say that it was about time I started to act my age, I said when my legs pack up completely then I will

Though no one believes me i am actually eleven years old, i think my album will prove that point.
