I agree................Jesus H Christ that is one of the worst ever!!!!

If you look at the posts on here, the majority of them are either chit chat or about Marvin Gaye/Terrell etc................which does seem to say that this thread has been a waste of time in a way. I'm tending to think that Ulysees, who started the thread in the first place hoped to cause a bit of a stir............substanciated by the fact that he has made no further comment!!! He was on here last night for sure as he posted in another thread.

Hiya Keith...............likewise............miss the nights at Barnsley for sure!!! Will have a catch up by PM when I get a mo.

I got your sense of humour Keith............... I'm another North Eastener!!

When I first read this, the only gay bloke I could think of was Marc Almond!! :D Dave Godin already been mentioned.................out of interest who are the other prominent gay people who shaped the Scene??

I'm a bit gobsmacked too to be honest.................perfect dance beat................can only presume it's just down to taste or maybe not well enough known in certain circles.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

ONLY WHEN I'M BLADDERED TOO, LOL!!!

I agree..............if she was bladdered...........forgive her!!!

Sandie Shaw might have legs..........but I wish she had used them and walked off somwhere else...........I felt rather embarrassed for her!!!! Favourite for me was Gregory Porter...............brilliant!!!

BILLY PRESTON - VOLCANO What an absolutely cracking record..............one of my all time faves!!!! Good luck with your requests,

Would be great................plenty of characters on the nighter scene..........

My point exactly Steve.................

Me too!!!!

:lol: :lol:

Personally I don't want to see another film about Wigan and the Scene as it was....................don't get me wrong I bloody loved it.............but it's different now!!! To the young ones and newcomers to the Scene it must seem to them that we all go around wearing circle skirts, 40" bags and Keep The Faith badges................ all I would say to them is travel and find out..................it's diverse and it's great!!!

Sounds good to me...............

Personally if someone wants to make a film about 'Northern Soul'.............why can't they do something about the current scene rather than focusing on Wigan Casino, The Mecca, etc, etc. Don't focus on the nostalgia..........focus on the here and now!!! Many comments on here about young folk getting into the scene..............Christ I would hate it if they thought that's the way it all still is!!! The Scene has evolved...................if anybody else wants to make another film, just take the cameras to somewhere like Bidds or Radcliffe where there are different rooms playing so many different sounds or soul nights that don't just play overplayed oldies!!! OK that's my bit said............I'm outta here!!!

A few years later it became a mixed Comprehensive School...................my claim to fame anyway..................I'm a Stainsby Girl!!!!

I like the Roger Collins one too................but the one I'm really embarrassed about is...............wait for it................the one and only WAIT A MINUTE - TIM TAM AND THE WOTSITS, LOL!!! Naff...........but brilliant to dance to!!!

Too late..............would say this would be mid-fifties...........brilliant stuff!!!

.

I remember talking to a Smurf in the Ladies loos at The Casino...............but I was off my rocker at the time!!!! Maybe PW was too......... :lol:

He's all right................after all he did bring us Kylie, Jason, Sonia, Rick Astley, etc, etc, etc...............

Great post.................like you said, he can do the raw, gritty stuff and can also sing a ballad with such feeling!!!! Been a fan of Otis since I was knee-high to a grass-hopper. Great footage of the Monterey festival...........my fave is already here too 'Shake'............think a close second for me would be his version of 'Satisfaction'........awesome stuff!!!! Carol
