...and he tells me he's a vinyl hunter ...........................................think this is on the Xmas pressie list for him :D

...these waters can be 'muddied' even further. Numerous times we hear 'the dancers dont care'-----thats a tad harsh to generalise. I know I'm going somewhere tonight where the dancers DO care and probably most rare soul ovo events are populated with dancers who are VERY knowledgeable and do care. ...So we may the ovo dancers and the bootleg dancers lol. doesn't get any easier does it hehehehhe

bloody ell Geese you come up with some corkers for discusison me 'owd. ...Quite pertinent though really considering stuff like Susan mackey is getting spins as well Some of the choons that are supposedly reggae that would get played on the scene have got a 'soulful' voice with it. Susan Mackey has---Jackie Edwards--come on home is quite soulful also ...Remember some old wag from Whitworth st--calling Jackie Edwards--'Feel so Bad' as Jamaican Soul. Cant argue with that really

this old Wheel 'stomper' was by this country/blue grass chappie-----ok I know it wasn't 'norvern' at the time but hey ho https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=3&sqi=2&ved=0CCgQtwIwAg&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D7dxVex-iCyY&ei=Z1EXToqDC4S1hAe1i-3MBQ&usg=AFQjCNET-eNJdq2RKmF7L9FvOfI0Vx3hnQ

Always liked some of the Kiki Dee stuff

How many DJ''s own originals of Gwen Owens, Don Gardner, The Parliaments, Eddie Parker, The Salvadors, and, dare I mention, Frank Wilson! ..interestingly (well to me anyway)....I heard all these and a shit load more of their like including Tomangoes, Margaret Littles etc etc in ONE set on Friday night and to hear that 'quality of oldie' all on original vinyl fair takes ya breath away . . To hear one after the other of high price quality original oldies ---was summat you would only get on a CD---awesome knowing its originals and happening right in front of ya is a great buzz Said DJ is currently celebrating his 50th in Barbados back on topic I'm not to sure whether Nosmo would get a spin at any run of the mill soul nights because maybe its not too well known/popular. From what I can remember bitd it had its 5/6 weeks of fame and was dropped in favour of 'the next big thing' Something like Al Wilson has a longevity POSSIBLY due to the fact this was a recognised 'nighter tune' for a few years before it became 'ammered' hence perhaps its perpetual airing nowadays Maxine Nightingale crossed over lol into the nightclub/disco/chicken in a basket market .......oh and I didn't hear Frank wilson in THAT set on friday night lol

any chance of a soundclip

Well spotted PD--great find. Very good read indeed

...think its the patches that seem to be the selling point................................... ...hope for us all if this fetches its price Nige ....Have you still got ya 'Jockey Y Fronts' that ya wore on the night Roy C was live at the Torch mate,-- complete with perspiration stains. should fetch a tidy sum

...played it full bore to me grandson the other day

.......cant make that one mate-----but keep it in ya box for the near future-- cos ya never know

...That Eric Mercury's gotta be up there---good call Phil

Maybe decriptions of the style of music played is a lot less important nowadays. I know when I hear something for the first time--I may remark 'fcuk me I like this it sounds real northern to me'---but thats only because it makes me feel comfortable in myself to 'log it like that'. (same goes for something that sounds funky,latin etc) ...It doesn't mean it HAS to be northern as defined by the concise English chin strokers guide to all nighters of Christmas past 5th ed ...So its a personal 'benchmark' of a tune to some folk cos they like it like that----but its personal ... ...mmm Original Question what was it now..............oh yeah some folks will always demand fast stuff. some folks will always like a mixture, some folks will always like the slower stuff So --I dont think its split in 2011 and beyond because hopefully there will be events on---- that suit everyones taste.......Yep even the slow plodding stuff

kinnell Geese--sweeping question me 'owd . ----know where ya coming from ---I THINK . Some rare aint fast-- in fact quite sedate---So would this be ignored in favour of more mph at CERTAIN popular venues. . converesely is their a following of the wholly 'sedate' stuff on an evening out. Shute---35 years---you're an ole bugger mate

Not forgetting the obvious when we all had energy to burn........ These 2 were both 'era defining sounds' ..anthemic tunes from the early nighters of our scene Old buggers will have memories of dancing to these Run for Cover Wear it on our face
