What dates you looking at Dayo.... We run a two room event in Manchester, next event an all dayer with 60s/ 70s northern/ funk/ rare groove.. Sat 4th July...

Can't make it today but my wife will be there to pay our regards... x

A girl just full of soul passion.... Such sad sad news..... I remember one night at Soul Revolution in our little upstairs room.. I was playing some chill out stuff and Helena came over to say how much she liked this track...

they re-write history before our eyes....

16,000 at the last event,? You will be swamped..

I now have back issues from the past couple of years.. Any folk wanting copies then get in touch.. Please also leave us some feedback??? I am guessing we have quite a few reading this who have had copies in the past??

Hit nail on the head Nev...

I would be very happy to hear all of the above tracks, they sit well with me... The use of the word upfront also gives me an indication of what to expect..

Its gonna be on yer tv very soon Steve, don't want to spoil it for you...

And now the end of the line.. The new advert for Greggs is using a northern soul tune, using a big northern classic, this will get a re- press now for sure.. It's time to hide in a cave..

Nice feedback and glad to see no snide comments about some of them tunes being RnB (" the devils music " ) .... Some of you have gone soft in yer old age Some call them " little bits of black plastic " ... To many of us they are family, to some even closer than that....

There as always been a lot of price snobbery, its part of the scene like anything else..... Let em play that game, each to their own.... I look forward to maybe seeing a few new faces on Saturday and any lookbacks after the event.. The front room too will feature many tunes that don't cost a lot among some big ticket stuff.. No big deal, its all soul aint it.... I know many collectors/ djs over the years who would never look at anything under £80, they were playing the " keeping up with the Joneses " game.... They missed out on so much quality and i have seen many of them running up to decks all excited on hearing a tune they dont know, they then find out its only cheap to buy and lose interest, its a funny old game.... Nowt wrong in doing any of this in any way you want, if we all did the same it would be quite dull... When you can break a tune you find for peanuts and it goes on to be a monster then i would call that satisfaction indeed.. I am sure there are many examples????? i dont mean something bought in the 70s/ 80s against its cost now, more about something in the last 10/15 years.... Peace x

The moment he walks in and sees his records, starts crying and kissing them, that got me going too.. Imagine that scene in a film, it would be a killer..

I found this story quite moving and know just what emotions took place.... I lost a box of records 10 years ago and its haunted me ever since.... Have a read.... https://noisey.vice.com/en_uk/blog/this-story-of-a-vinyl-collection-lost-on-the-streets-of-edinburgh-will-melt-your-pessimism

So nice to see the feedback, it was a labour of love from Pat over many years to get this out.. I hope he gets to see this thread...

Generation game.... Old blokes who go up to cool young djs and tell them " that tune was hammered at the wheel in 69 "

A new version of SPEED DATING.....All contestants are given 60 seconds to impress with words of wisdom ( or complete bollocks ) , extra points for best gurning.. The winners get chauffeur driven car for a week and 5 min free trolley dash round any chemist they visit... A dragons den idea i think

Our next event will see the return of the " under £25 room " @ Different Strokes....... A 2 room event on Sat 4th April... There will also be sales under £25 boxes....... See event below..

..., sounds like a part for me for sure... Get in..
