I don't think its negativity Ted. People are passionate that's all. Some more so than others it would seem, but surely that doesn't surprise you? As for the people behind the film regretting getting involved with this site? Behave! They couldn't give a flying fig what people on here think! And they sure as hell ain't going to listen to a word any of us have to say. All publicity is good publicity to them - and as far as they are concerned - it's a job well done with this site!

You don't have the rights to that one then

You think? I was just asking the question I have asked God knows how many times (and got no answer to) simply and clearly. Shame it wasn't answered the same clear and simple way.

Easy with the sarcasm. But to do this would mean using the original recordings by the original artists would it not? To the best of my knowledge people weren't dancing to Paul Weller and Duffy records at Wigan Casino in 1974. And they certainly aren't dancing to them on the soul scene today.

Sorry, don't understand what you mean by this? What has condition got to do with anything? He sold them btw

Here's an easy one for you as it only requires a one word 'YES' or 'NO' answer. WILL YOU BE USING THE ORIGINAL RECORDINGS BY THE ORIGINAL ARTISTS?

I'm guilty of this one Jane! My thinking is if the unthinkable ever happened - it would be my word against whoever's. This way it could be proven one way or the other - with minimal damage to the record. To the naked eye anyway!

I'd agree with you there Jordi. Don't you think some records are just too soulful for their own good - this being a prime example.

I knew Steve Kennedy very well. He was from Nuneaton - and yes, he did have some mighty fine tunes! My old copy of the Volumes on Twirl had M. Dobson S-O-T scratched into the run out. I kid you not!

I'd make sure mine were five double sider's! God knows which five they would be though.

I was thinking more along the lines of just using the original recordings. The thought of cover versions by artists so soul less I doubt they've got sole's on the bottom of their feet just makes me want to vomit. Duffy singing Alice Clarke's 'You Hit Me' ? Amy Winehouse singing Rose Batiste's 'Hit & Run' ? Paul Weller singing Eddie Parker's 'I'm Gone' ? Come on people - it may only be a film - but please!

Am I the only one to think the original artists, who recorded all the records you all danced to at Wigan Casino deserve recognition in this film?

I'd say the chances of anyone getting it 100% right is an impossibility. Everyone's experience of any night is totally unique to them, despite being in the same hall at the same time as God knows how many other people. The one thing everyone did have in common though was the music. Bugger the story - the MUSIC is the most crucial part of this film - and that means the ORIGINAL music and not a load of second rate cover versions!

30 days non stop Beeks has been going

Hmmm... song titles? No mention in your post about these 'song titles' being performed by the original artists. Any chance of a straight answer please? Will the songs in the film be the original recordings by the original artists - YES or NO?

Anyway, meant to say GOOD LUCK with the night Ray. I'm really looking forward to reading the playlists. I love nights like this, it will make the DJ's think long and hard about what they are going to play, which will hopefully result in a few nice surprises. Up until today I hadn't really given it much thought, but I've just had a quick look through a couple of boxes I've got here, and I am ashamed to say that the boys way out number the girls. Shame on me!

To be honest a female promoter doing the asking didn't even enter my head, how bad's that! Personally, I find it a bit degrading when the 'non female' promoters out there only have girls on when it's a 'girlie' night. Then again, if you're any good, you'll get asked and if you're not, you won't - male or female.

All the ones I know of have got water damage. BUT WHO CARES! Just awesome!

Yes I got one. I can't say the pm offended me, but I can see Jaynes point regarding everyone doing it. What does annoy me though is these 'LADIES' only nights (and no I don't mean Ray's night as his is a female RECORDS only night) What I'm talking about is the 'female DJ's only' nights. I'm sorry but I can't help but find these nights insulting and patronising to us girlies. If I'm asked to do a spot, I'd bloody hope it's because they feel I'm up to the job, not because I'm female! Anyway, like I've always said, it's what's in your BOXES and not in your BOXERS that counts!

PMSL!!

In that case I must be missing something cos it seems to point to nothing or no one specific to me Right, cue all the things I must be missing posts

Maybe they think that a charity event might get more people through the door Steve? I must admit I hardly ever look at charity event threads - unless the person running it is someone I know or someone whose event I would want to go to anyway. And before anyone says I'm an uncharitable so and so - let me tell you I'm not! I have in fact been raising money for the 'Rwanda Group Trust' for the last twelve years or more and not a northern soul gimmick in sight

Doesn't a Notts Palais reunion have to have original Notts Palais DJ's? I may be missing something here but wouldn't an event that doesn't have the original Notts Palais DJ line up be nothing more than a brand new event held in an old club?

WHAT A FANTASTIC RECORD! Good price too - although I doubt I'd be able to scrape £4.75 together let alone £475. Top top tune for one of you lucky people -
