"Any favs for you in that lot?" Well I'd go for the bottle of red, a big bag of M&S Sea Salt and Crushed Black Pepper Crisps Lincoln is a brilliant place, trouble is you have to go through bits of Lincolnshire to get there. Have to get back to you regarding the music........

Well there was an awful rumour............started by Soul Girl.............that Andy BB.............wore the same shirt twice. I kid you not!

Best one I had was Earl Van Dyke on UK Motown. Swapped it 20 years ago with JM. Never seen another. Brilliant cover. Awful album. Scan anyone? Col.

Possibly. But couldn't resist it. Picked up the CD 'The Collection' by Sounds Of Blackness in HMV for £4 on saturday. Thought it would be good to share it with everyone.

The night is billed as Northern Soul - Across The Board. The DJ spins The Sounds Of Blackness - I'm Going All The Way. Is it acceptable? Are we either a 'broad minded church' or a 'narrow minded tribe'? Just a bit of fun...... Col.

I can get stickers done fairly easily. I started a thread a few months ago with suggestions for stickers/T Shirts which was quite funny, but recently went back & tried to find it with no avail. Can any one find the link? I'm going to run a few off & 'sell' them via mail order via post on the basis people donate the money to charity. Col.

Thanks for posting chaps. Really apppreciate mp3s/wavs as I have a really poor memory. Listings of song titles really don't do it for me.......one step away from swapping train numbers Col...

Thats my experience.

It was meant to be tongue in cheek. Thats why they used scooterists, not soulies.

The ring leader Pete Kelross is a mate of mine. But it caused me to re-evaluate everything the day he told me that he got paid for dancing! It was strange experience, similar to the day when due to BSE McDonalds announced they were no longer selling hamburgers.

Excellent.

Would you like your very own limited edition Soul Patrol patch?

Lost Souls SC Bisley Boys!

Not come across this until recently. With such a big catalogue, there must be loads more out there that don't get their fair airing Suggestions pls Under-played, under-rated Motown kim_weston.mp3

Karen, I have to disagree. Its a very silly question. Thats a better question!

Some old mates of mine from Egham went to an all-niter that wasn't on. Slept the night in a public toilet.......or so they say

To be fair it was a well written piece, although a little too pretentious for moi. Yes tribal was the contentious word here. If you are going to use words like that why stop there? Why not try & include herd? Herd - A large number of people; a crowd: a herd of stranded passengers. The multitude of common people regarded as a mass: "It is the luxurious and dissipated who set the fashions which the herd so diligently follow" (Henry David Thoreau).

With your love of the dictionary I'm sure that you could also put up a good reasoned argument for us being part of a herd.

Well if I was marking the paper I'd Fail it. On the sole basis that nobody likes a smart arse. I didn't read it all, frankly the following line was enough for me:- "It is easy to draw similarities between tribal artefacts and the 'tribal' element in a dance culture (all dance cultures are tribal)" I've enjoyed the scene for 25 years. Its not tribal. Its full of nice people who are pleasure to spend the night with. Convince me otherwise. Discuss. Col.
