Ian Seaman

Wasn't it all a name thingy Ian ?, Solomon King just wasn't doing it so it was re released as Levi Jackson, same label/version etc. Think he was a taxi driver at the time in Manchester Ian.

i dunno about "rare soul" nights !! i went to one a few weeks ago (won't say where) and it was awfull, playing a bunch of £10 underplayed 70,s and 80,s stuff, stuff i keep at the back of my sales box I think some people are trying to pull the wool over our eyes and play any old crap because they haven't got any rare soul or don't know what it is !! At least with RW,s nights you get exactly what it says on the tin, held as close as can be to the original venue !!!! wtf,s wrong with that !!!!! each to there own, it will be packed and they will have a great time, leave them to it and get on with your own life the term "Northern Soul" aint going anywhere soon !! it will see all of us out of this world ! One thing i do like to see is where promoters actually list on their flyers what they plan to have played, easy peasy for the punters to decide........rare soul or dancing outside superdrug Ian.

yeah about right Pete, this copy was a bit worn and loads of small marks etc but guarenteed to play ex+, think it was at Burton i saw it !! Ian.

I had an original in my hand about 3 months ago, it was priced at £180 !! was about VG++, trying to think where it was so i can chase it again pdq Ian.

So this is just a plug for above websites then ?? don't do Whitby don't like Cleethorpes or Prestatyn, Skeggy Butlins is best weekender imho, 6500 drunken adults, no binlids and a choice of venue from out and out NS oldies to nightclub commercial soul etc, top weekender run by Butlins who have more experience then anyone else currently doing weekenders, they know how to paaaaarrty Bridlington new Spa must come 2nd followed by Dave Raistricks Skegness weekender. After that it,s the scooter rallys that do it for me. Ian.

Are you saying i,m fat another one who only reads posts in a negative way big big problem on here !! anyway whats this about last nighter at Bury town hall ??? Ian.

Hi Chris, What your Joel did a few years back was something to be proud of mate , I DJ'd with him a few times and he always did a crcking job, also showed him some of my best dance floor moves , shame in the end he got a bit of stick off certain soul police and a few venues all of a sudden realised they had a "No under 18,s" policy Isn't it time you started wearing long trousers and wondering what those dangly bits are for Ian.

I had one a while back, looks ok but as Pete said it does look grainy/blury and quite easy to spot. How much they worth then Pete ? Ian.

Hmmm this post doesn't make any sense !!!, most blokes are "nice lads" Paul Better things to do would mean that DJing at a NS night is something he keeps on a back burner ! i have seen Alex DJ 3 times he does come across good on the mic and it,s great to see a young un up there doing his stuff and long may it continue but he needs to get his own identity and quick, he can hold his own at an oldies night (which these days isn't that hard) but i would love to see him do a 70,s/xover/modern spot up there with the rest of them , give him time i suppose Unless we are going to keep him wrapped in cotton wool get his playlist up !!! Ian.

Jesus, just banged my head on the keyboard draw as i was ducking Ian.

Don't really think it,s about just one guy, do you !!! A great read and i would have Ian on the decks at my place in a flash !!! great to see him back amongst his friends ! Ian.

Played Sam Dees for you sat night !! where was ya, someone said the Lincoln crowd was coming down to phoenix ! Ian.

I can remember a small lad called mark, very popular with the ladies think because he was a bit well ya know.... a lady , lived Fulwood area. Also Angela Mullarkey, went to her house in Fulwood a few times , almost sure we married and had kids wonder if she,s still alive I used to get the train from N. Wales to Preston, meet up with a big crowd in a pub right near the station and mark & Angela and we all caught the last train down to Wigan. Most other names escape me now !!! Ian.

Must admit i have only lived here for 14 years, came to work here and found love , well cheap bars anyway Work dried up and we almost left town but i,m now back working in town (well Gonerby Moor anyway ) I quite like the town, it,s closeness to the A1 has plenty of scope , it,s cheapish to live here and only an hour (in my BMW) to the coast J J Barnes here in town - wow!!! tell me more. Ian.

Dave also had a very impressive knowledge of the scene too !! I used to use him as an oracle back in the day , top geezer and lovely sheepskin coat Ian.

My Mrs remembers the wed nights at the church on castlegate, she never went in mind as her dad wouldn't let her , must have sat in the car with a window open Ian.

anyone got a current value for a mint issue of above please. says £400 in JM guide but.....................................?? Ian.

It would take the 1979 disco dancing champ to keep this lot happy I have never read so many negative posts !!! still it is the swons ( as Ian L would say in a bigger thread ) bring it on & lets see it 1st then start a thread on it to rip it to bits Ian.

Cheers Dawn, don't recognise room or anyone in it apart from you !! but sure someone else will

Hi Dawn, Can you remember who ran it and who DJ'd ???, interesting to see pics thanks. Ian.

doesn't everyyhing clash with the Atrium biggest clashes are wocko,s shiny head and Boogies wig you should get down to next Phoenix Paul as the guest plays a lot of stuff you will like. Ian.

https://www.zounds.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/htm...rd_sleeves.html i got mine here. Ian.

You mean Mark Webb who went doon under, i speak to him every now and then, he came to Barrowby & Skeggy last time he was here. Wocko cannot remember what he did yesterday never mind the 70,s Roy doesn't speak to me anymore, he,s moved on now to another mate, you will know him as Grantham No1 DJ, to us mortals he is just called Mick Johnson

Your life ain't worth diddly squat Webby ?? do you mean sinbad ??

Was talking to Biz a few weeks ago and he told me a few good stories about Tony,s house by the church and what went on there
