As far as i know the new owners asked several parties to put in a bid to run a soul weekender at Prestatyn,including the crew who used to run it,but because of the cost of live acts it may just be a D.J. run event.The above source was reliable but looking at the time line for refurbs. etc. it may well be a last minute thing.It,s down to the new owners in the end.

An e-mail i received last week:- I'm told that there WILL BE a Prestatyn Weekender this March, but it may not be confirmed until the major refurbishment work currently being undertaken at the camp is completed in late January / early February. By then it will probably be to late to set up live acts & the UK backing musicians.

j j barnes I'm the one who really loves you. Uk 7" b side,this really grows on you!

What is a carver? A blank disc has the groove turned (carved) into it as a one off copy of a piece of music as apposed to being stamped into vinyl.Will not last as long as stamped vinyl and not as good quality.

Here's one from the same stable as Otis Williams released on Soul Intention from the Emkay label no EM 1004S Hypnotics One Way Ticket DivShare File - hypnotics.mp3 It may be getting a release also therefore only a one minute clip

Doris Willingham jayboy 1 has a point where backing track slows down as if someone touched tape but she keeps singing,don't know if U.S. issue has same fault.

edit

Bobby Patterson released in USA & UK https://youtu.be/NGtcunOWI2s

Let's face it I don't think it is going to make a huge difference to anything regards the scene ,but at least some one listening may think i love the music and will try and make it out to a soul night.There have been several attempts to look at "the scene" before but most look from the outside and don't quite get the point .I don't suppose we will hear anything stunningly new so i don't expect too much,but it is only good that someone formally involved with the scene is giving his own personal view. I know loads of miners and working class lads who looked forward to the weekend in days gone past as it was a great relief and took them into another world where most were on an equal standing and they could forget the drudgery of everyday life.(and still do) and a big thanks to all on S.S. and all who run the site.

Good grief the bloke likes northern live with it! Half the time we moan the scene doesn't get any exposure and when it does you slag it off,suppose it spoils the exclusivity of it all for some .You don't have to listen. Just thought some may be interested that's all

Radio 2 next week On Tuesday 20 December "In Too Darn Soulful: Northern Soul", Smooth Radio presenter Pete Waterman tells the story of Northern Soul and dance. He examines what makes Northern Soul music so all consuming for the devoted fans and introduces the uninitiated to this intoxicating mix of music and dance. And he meets the people for whom Northern Soul is a way of life. A Unique production. Pete Waterman said: "Northern Soul is such a phenomenon, it's great to be looking at this fascinating insight into the continuing fan base it has. I was the only man who always went to Wigan for his summer holidays - I loved Northern Soul that much! I only got two weeks off from being a DJ back then, and I spent those 14 days just going to Northern Soul Clubs."

The McKinley Mitchell is a great up tempo dancer,which was first issued as a slower record in the sixties.This was re recorded in the seventies and is definitely the best version.

Another two album classics Stevie Wonder......Love A Go Go i seem to remember this was issued on a french Stevie Wonder ep i know its not 45 but it is a 7"

Hi keith Must be a wrench to get rid of this,producer has other 2 and will not part with them so no more will turn up! Good luck

Garlic bread

One record i can never pass on by if i come across it whilst looking through collection is The Originals Baby I'm for real,an absolutely sublime piece of soul music and it still gives me goosebumps when i hear it.I bought this when first issued on T.M. in the U.K. The genius of Marvin Gaye ,it gives a preview of the What's Going On Album yet to come from the Master.
