Surely there is such a thing as northern soul artists. Eddie Holman, JJ Barnes and Lorraine Chandler for example?

Are we really gonna let it die with us?
I think you’re about 10-15 years too late in posting that. There’s plenty of house DJ’s dj’ing from a USB stick that present new music and are creative. The format is irrelevant to that surely. In my opinion, it’s more difficult to become a very good DJ than it is to build arecord collection. Sure, you can pick up the basics quickly, but not become somebody who people enjoy listening to time after time. There’s plenty of people with good record collections on the northern soul scene that are quite boring DJ’s.

Maurice White - RIP
RIP Maurice. The brains and driving force behind one the greatest soul bands of all time. Excellent live performers too. I saw them at Wembley Arena in 1988. I can't seem to be able to embed the you tube clip but below is a link to "That's The Way Of The World" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vIIZydXDqg

I read in the Look In Your Box forum that Mario Biondi has had plays out recently at a northern do. FFS!

Anything goes.....or should it?
What about that Bob Sinclar rubbish? It's always been a broad church, with the occasional novelty record making it. As the years go by and music gets more diverse, I guess it's inevitable that the boundaries get stretched. I'm all for it providing the records are of a high quality. Unfortunately, some of the popular tunes are not.

Bretby Modern Room Revisited
Excellent. Thanks Dave. Bretby was the first allnighter I started going to north of London. I was still in my 20s at the time. I thought I wouldn't know a record and it would be all obscure independent releases. On my first visit there, I was pleasantly surprised to hear Ann Nesby, Mary J. Blige, Blackstreet, Incognito, Maxwell, Maze amongst a load of stuff I wasn't familiar with.

Sandra Wright original 70s LP does exist
Mine are in the garage and not difficult to get at. I'll try to take a look over the weekend. It may have got a mention but I don't recall any fanfare.

Sandra Wright original 70s LP does exist
Really? I was buying loads of LPs at the time and thought I had my finger on the pulse but don't recall this at all. I was buying Willie Clayton, Miles Jaye, By All Means, Regina Belle, David Peaston, Will Downing, Adeva, Alyson Williams, Tashan, Betty Wright, Chanelle, Maze, etc. There was loads of fantastic new releases to concentrate on. Mind you, I wasn't going out to dos. Being a young lad in Kent, there wasn't anything going on about from live shows in London.
