Soulsmith

Sorry mate, ain't got a clue what you're going on about. Whos Timi Willis? Any chance of a soundfile?

Sorry Baz meant Taylor Made. 4 Vandells gets close. But I always knew that was sung by a white guy. Great dancer, but fails on the soul factor.

Well thats just human nature! But if you end up with some quality soul........thats a result.

Think thats the one John. Not too sure where we are about posting MP3s on here, maybe Baz will confirm. But pls do PM me. Cheers Col.

Did anyone that set out with express intention of making a quality 'Northern Soul' record ever achieve it? Or is it/was it by its very nature impossible? Col. Looking fwd to a decent argument

Apologies in advance, Heard last night a modern track played by Jamie at Chi-Soul. seemed to be really well known & very much appreciated by the crowd. All I know is that it went "I've got my saturday night, sunday morning face on." Yeah i know, not too helpful! Really appreciate it if someone could post an mp3 here or PM me a copy. Cheers for looking. Col.

The Flirtations......as previously seen.........in ruins.

Love it

I hope you are wrong, but I do know there is quite a large market out there for RnB that is completeley unaware of our scenes interest in RnB.....and vice versa. I do a bit of work for a company that has successfully organised blues/RnB weekenders in this country for the last 4 or 5 years. If you could fuse both scenes, you might have something. But you won't find me hanging around it........ Col.

Not my mate.........he was fast asleep on the table

Excellent clip Ever tried spinning both ways?....really tricky!

Theres another one in you tube. Dani Behr I think doing a send up, with a DJ called Morris who runs a butchers shop. They cut to him dancing "Morris Dancing" Quite funny.

Didn't Robbie Vincent/Chris Hill/Greg Edwads also use the Mafia term? Think it was something to do with them all increasing there DJ rates collectively, thereby holding promoters to ransom. Not literally of course.

Nail - hit - hammer - head - on

I'd say he was more likely to be an 11 year old.

I think you worry too much.

I saw him say that on TV at the week-end. Think he probably regrets it today!

Thats handy then 'cos you can have my space on the dance floor. I'll be off to the car park to bang those rusty 6" nails into my ears.......again.

Modern is a silly term. But we are stuck with it. Anything not 60s........

Ref article Steve, which I omitted to say earlier that I really enjoyed... Do you have all the old Backbeats? Assume you wrote this one, but isn't it about time you tracked and un-earthed your old sub-editor, Kev Griifiths? I remember him being a really big character. He seems to have dropped off the scene entirely....

.....and nailed it shut .....and buried it at sea.

Almost def no. It was part of Tim Brown's game plan a few years ago. Can't say if it still is, but I'd say he was closer than most.

Seperated at birth......

The saturday night after the monthly Oldies night on a Friday was dire. No people, no atmosphere.

Steve, I'll tell you what Wigan was like empty in winter.........COLD! Really COLD!
