Sinking under a "to do list" that is bigger than me wants list and fast approaching the time to hit the pub. As its always a bit of a reflective time, thought start a "look back" thread and ask all readers to throw up their highlights of 2003 Be it best event, best sound, memory, moment, laugh, misty, and so on...... Here's hoping 2004 will be at least as good 2003 soul wise and have as many laughs!

Well after Mr Searling raised hopes that the decreasing influence of kev roberts meant that one of the most well known names connected with Northern Soul has seen the light and given up the dark path. Last week it seemed there was a slight relapse, with the return of the "Jazz Fm - nothing like the truth section". Reports say according to jazz fm Prestwich was packed as always, now as all reports had was that this particular Prestwich event was quiet, So whats the fuss a bit of exageration never hurt anyone did it, well in this case not really, though bit sad seeing return of such stuff. It along with the total non-mention of New Century niter on same nite was thought to be just a minor lapse, case of hard to give up old habits and soon every thing be back to normal. Well had to mention it as the thoughts were wrong! Had from the North West reports from many sources have been pouring in of a new wave of going ons, for those who remember the classic dirty tricks as was seen in the recent togetherness failed attempt to ruin the Prestatyn weekender earlier this year, hearing going ons been like meeting old mates. Coming very soon the score and more

Managed to catch up with a quick read of the latest Manifesto issue. Since Dave Rimmer improved the security of his travelling event stall, making our sly quick flick throughs a thing of the past. The glossy magazine review side of Soul Source has fallen by the way side. So while welcomed a rare chance to catch up with latest issue, was a bit quick and as working on memory as had to hand the mag back, feel that can only give a brief note, see below. To help us improve this failing, and give visting Soul Fans a view of the latest going ons in the glossy mag world, we ask anyone who read latest issue, if possible could they post up view on the mag. My brief view was, certainly changed a bit since last looked at it. Design and feel seemed different from last one seen, and while many articles which seemed worthwhile and invited further reading. Unfortunately the main article that stuck in mind was one that listed the top 5 NORTH WEST Northern venues. While memory ensures that can't give credit to who wrote it, have to say that on reading it had to check two things. First the cover to see if wasn't reading a certain other glossy mag and then secondly to check if reading the heading correctly. Cut it short , find meself asking just how do people knock out these lists, what do they use to actually decide between the many events on nowadays As may have guessed found the listing a bit suprising and imagine be suprising to a lot of soul fans. 1. King Georges Hall Blackburn 2. Longfield Suite 3. Bury town hall 4. Preston Grasshoppers 5. The Ritz Brighouse Now am sure they are great venues and quite possibly deserve acclaim, however it does make me wonder just what the writer judged events. To be fair further comment would need further "research" (putting hand in pocket and buying a mag maybe a good idea:)), so will pause and for now just ask all out there If any views what factors should be taken into account to make up a top 5 event list?? Feel free to post/discuss/comment
