2009 will see a new commercial DVD in the shops on Northern Soul. Working title is "Keep On Burning", no doubt inspired by The Torch! I was first approached by the production company 18 months ago but nothing came of it at the time. However, now its serious and filming will start in March. It's a documentary about the history of the music and the scene and what sets it apart is that they have already licensed the entire This England programme from ITN and they have an agreement in place for the Hullaballoo footage.

Of course, there will be the usual talking-heads but to ring the changes we have already interviewed Vicki Wickham and Marc Almond is in the studio on Wednesday. We'd also like to film the closing stages of the DO I LOVE YOU auction with John's kind permission.

The interviews will be filmed at the Granada studios in Leeds, in March and at venue yet to be found in London. I'd like a moody, atmospheric cellar bar in London, has anyone got any ideas?

Now that we're ready to get going it would be great to get some input from Soul Source:

1. Who should we interview?

2. Has anyone got any archive footage, no matter how grainy?

3. Were you there when This England was filmed?

4. Does anyone know how to contact Dave Withers?

5. Who is the girl in This England

6. Any ideas on how we can make this really special?

7. Which personalities are worth filming and who should we avoid?

8. Who should we hire to narrate the film?

Universal are already interested in running a TV advertised album to tie-in with the film and this has already been compiled. However, I'd like to package the DVD with its own unique bonus disc. This can be a music CD or an audio book telling the story of Northern Soul with a great Northern sound bed.

Any thoughts very welcome.

Cheers Ken, love that! I wanted something like The Scene club, I'll call my old mate Norman Jopling, he'll have a few ideas. In fact Norman is someone who we'll interview about the roots of the scene.

I hear what what's being said about "who needs yet another film, yawn yawn" and I kind of agree. But, I do think there is a genuine opportunity to get it right and it could be great. In actual fact there really aren't that many sell-through DVD's out there. We can all admire Ian's dedication but not everyone wants to sit through 6 DVD's worth. If it can be told, and told well, in one and half hours with plenty of footage of young people and a great sound track its a winner. Besides, who doesn't want to see Chubby Checker singing At The Discotheque etc etc

He went to Wigan once i think. Interviews also lined up with Paul O'Grady and Eric Knowles off Antiques Roadshow...

I know Vicki Wickham produced Ready Steady Go and managed Dusty Springfield but did she have any connection to the northern soul scene?

I will do an interview and tell you anything you want to hear if you pay me shite loads of money, i know cos i read a book and watched a couple of DvDs and once danced to the Snake at a scooter rally 5 years ago and i never went to the Casino

ps, how much you paying

She was responsible for bringing over the Motown acts and the likes of Major Lance long before anyone had thought about labeling Soul as Northern. She ties in nicely with the roots of the scene and with Norman Jopling's Record Mirror column, together they introduced the youth of Britain to black American music.

3) Yes

This has got to be a piss take. You haven't got a clue about the subject matter have you?

Dvds of authentic footage of artists are great,but these films are nonsense and leave the scene open to ridicule by those who dont and never will understand it.I was approached last year by someone who wanted to come to middleton to film for a short documentary,and turned them down flat.The soul scene belongs in the niters clubs weekenders,to be enjoyed by those who support it and not to be cashed in on by those that will never understand it.

I'm sorry but this is completely untrue. She was a TV producer who had the first Motown tour of the UK on the show she produced, but she had absolutely nothing at all to do with them coming to England. That was down to Dave Godin and Berry Gordy.

I presume you have heard of Dave Godin ?

It's certainly true about Norman Jopling, you ought to try and get hold of some mid 60's RM's.

Thanks Pete, appreciate your support. I've been a close friend of Norm for many years and he's helped out on many of my projects. He's also helping me mate Neil Rushton with his forthcoming book. His Record Mirror archive is incredible and he's got some great photos too which I'm sure will be of interest to everyone.

get trevor nelson to do the talk over he knows all there is to know about the northern soul scene

I agree with Pete S.

Even if it is a wind up, or someone trying to make a few bob, most of the replies have just been downright rude.

The film, if not a wind up, will still be made, whether we have any input or not.

If you contribute and it is not a true reflection, then you have a right to criticise.

If you do not contribute and it is crap, you really can't complain, because you had a chance to make it authentic/true reflection and chose not to.

If the guy is sincere about making the movie, I wonder what he thinks of the people on the Northern Soul scene from the replies he has received?

The funny thing is, if he went to a venue and asked the same questions, most of you would bend over backwards to help him.

whats the name of the trojan please...

Don't think there is one....nothing showed up on mine...I reckon 'Rimmermouse' has been running amok again

And if there is....before anyone casts any glances in this direction, I never gave Pete that link...I merely told him in a pm that Harold Pelham was a film 'The Man Who Haunted Himself'.....okaaay

I'd say the guys at SOULED OUT are glad the vitriol is being vented in a new direction now. I agree, there is no need to be so rude.

Yes, some of the documentaries done about the Northern scene have been awful, but others havent. It seems to be a case of judging books by their covers again.

Anyway the guy has come on here and more or less pleaded that he is ignorant and asked for help and to be pointed in the right direction. If people helped him it might turn out to be a good documentary you never know.
