Soulsmith

Anyone know who the dance instructor wearing the red T on the web site is? Just curious.

I would like to draw everybodys attention to the trouble with free speech.

Double up does it for me on the uptempo side. I'm Glad To Do It is excellent on the deeper slower side

Sadly no cover to mine as it was err covered up. Theres also another track on the album of similar quality to "Get away from me girl" Will dig it out & report back.

I've got the All Plat album, it was covered up as The Cautions

I think that is a fair starting point.

Somebody once noted that the problem with the rare soul lot in the UK is that they have pulled the ladder up so far, nobody can join them.

I have a mate who has just been admitted to hospital with Guillain-Barr syndrome. His thing is funk, so I thought it would nice to do him a couple of CD comps - but I havent got a clue where to start. Would appreciate receiving any spare funk CDs that you have. In return I will be more than happy to return you some rare soul CDs for you trouble. Cheers Col.

Best sound track for me is the prequel to Carlitos Way. Film should be easy to find but I tried and failed to get a track listing.

I always have a little smile when I notice our little underground scene popping up somewhere unusual. For example I was in the Fred Perry shop in Carnaby Street & they are actually flogging Ts covered in northern soul patches - something I stopped doing about 10 years ago. But this one really made me smile - a limited edition Northern Soul poster for £950! https://gta.la/2008/10/northern-soul/

Very small northern link in here... ......apologies just noticed Winnie has posted in another part of the forum

Not your usual soul do - sunshine for a start. Alcohol, handbags & families on the dance floor, people dancing in fancy dress. Best soul do of last year for me though.

Going up or down?

We have recently started playing some chilled out soul once a month on Sundays in sunny Fleet, Hants - will let you know how it goes -

Oh very witty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8OD56xaY_Y

Lucky for you - if you've got a thing about 50-year-old fat blokes.

Cheers for that - quality

Maybe you guys are looking at it all wrong. Ok its crap, but it so crap its kitsch.....so its very collectable. Think about it as an investment. I am the proud owner of a Wigan Casino toilet roll holder - the value of which can only go one way!

Quality

CCTV counts for feck all in London. Had my bike nicked outside the South African on the corner of Trafalgar Square. It was chained to a lamp post.

Iconic british brand my arse.........the company was and is a disgrace.
