That's as may be... but it's still not good is it really. Did you get your expenses?

Have to say, not my cup of tea really. Catchy enough tune though and I've definitely heard a lot worse. Seems like there's a few around anyway Roddy - so you never know!

You should just be able to hear it over my laughing

One way to check.. have posted a clip of Steve dancing to it at Lowton on youtube. Type in playthebside and it should come up

Not the Corvettes - Your Blue - Moon? If it is, have never heard Carl and Maria play it, but Steve Green used to play it before he sold up. Was listed on his sales cd for £1200

Then again... there is rather a lot to get through since their last visit

Noticed the starter of this thread was looking earlier on - so was sort of looking forward to reading what they had to say. Why am I not surprised to find they've said a big fat nothing!

What? 2 weeks? You are kidding me? Was sure JB said that she wasn't going back again after the paracetamol all over the floor day?

Hi Stuart, As the thread starter, you can close the thread. If you look on the left hand side after the last post there should be a box that says 'moderation options'. If you click that it should come up 'close this topic'. Click that and then click 'go' - and the thread should be 'locked'.

Great post!

Never mind!

Situations like this you mean? Sorry chalks - thought better of it!

Great! Have got the LP and the single so look forward to finding out as I have always wondered about this also. This is what's so great about this site!

Hi Bob, Wow! Can't wait to have a listen later when I have enough time to appreciate it properly! Can I just ask - is this the same Bonnevilles that recorded 'Play It Cool' on Now? Also I have been meaning to say this for ages - there is something so magical about being able to hear these artists telling their own stories in their own words. THANK YOU so much for sharing

I welcome anyone and everyone Jayne, the more the merrier as far as I'm concerned. Always has been. But as for the likes of Duffy and Weller being played in the DDA - NO WAY. NO HOW. NEVER! These artists have absolutely nothing to do with the northern soul scene - and never will.

Well that's all any of us can realistically ask for. My only gripe with this film has been the music issue - couldn't care less about the story or anything else. Anyway, here's hoping

What?

I'm sorry, but is this where we are at? Having to dupe people to get them onto the soul scene? What happens if this cunning plan succeeds btw? Will we see DJ's throwing the odd Duffy / Weller cover into their sets in the hope that it may help keep the few new folks who tried the scene to carry on keeping the Northern Soul torch burning long after we've had our day? ps: why do people keep making comparisons to crap records when defending Weller and co? Would you sooner have him than Mel Britt, Darrell Banks, etc?

But do you really think they will be able to capture the 'ESSENCE OF 'THE SCENE' ' THE DANCING, THE FRIENDSHIPS, THE FEELING OF BELONGING TO SOMETHING SPECIAL with Duffy and Weller singing the songs that made all the above possible? What I can't understand is seeings as this is a love story first and foremost, with the northern soul aspect very much in the background - why bother with the soul scene at all if they had no intention of portraying it as it was? Why not set the film in an average 70's nightclub where it wouldn't matter a toss if Duffy and Weller provided the soundtrack?

I meant with me not having them... you'd get in there and hit me with the hard sell And yes... it is great fun!

Sorry hun... Maurice Long is the only one I've got. Thing is ... you'll probably go all out for the sale now

Does anybody actually talk about what's been posted on here when they go out? I know I don't. I can honestly say the only times I recall this site ever being mentioned to me when I am out is if someone says they are 'so and so' off soul source.

Yet they say this here : https://www.thisisstaffordshire.co.uk/news/...il/article.html TALENT-SPOTTERS will be at the Kings Hall tonight on the hunt for extras to appear in a film. They are working on the film Souled Out, which will chart the rise of the Northern Soul scene in Stoke-on-Trent during the 1970s.

I can't comment as I've not seen any of the films you've mentioned, but I am curious about the last one - 24 Hour Party People. The music? Did they use cover versions in the film?
