Diificult one this , but I would suspect that it dosent make that much difference to peoples choice purely because of the volume of events that are on at any given time all over the counrty . The exception to the rule i would say are the long established well run events such as Market Harboro (allready mentioned ) that are yearly fixtures that become a date not to be missed. Couple of other points.... events that blur the boundries to put it mildly in order to swell there own coffers . I personally find deplorable. To me it is quite simple ....if something is billed as" all profits" or in "aid of" then it should mean just that and all monies should go to that cause and it should be a registered charity. There is another acceptable way of doing it anyway ...thats called " fundraising " if you just want to raise some funds for whatever your chosen cause is . Then bill it as this, you dont have to give all profits to the cause but just make a donation ...however I still think you should at least try and make public the figures so people that have paid for their ticket can see what has gone where ...simple really just dont take the piss out of peoples good nature ! Lastly on the subject of FREE BOOTLEG CDS at charity events , one thing that troubles me is that if the event is for a pucca charity , surely the trade of illegal matter to raise funds for them would bring the registered charity into disripute , therefore they could'nt accept the money ? "

No probs

Will do John ....how are ya keeping aint seen you for ages!

No mate been through the paranioa stage, on the other side of it now finding it all quite funny

Before the bullets start flying this is meant to be a humourus/ ironic thread to try and lighten the mood a bit Was just thinking aloud really , as a co promoter of this event for the last 4 years I cant help but notice , that since the word go every events thread that has ever been on ss about it - and that is probably all of them , from the word go , has had someone kick off or moan about something, not complaining about that ,this is a public forum after all and not asking for sympathy or the like , just find it quite funny really and ironic as conversely we have never really had a bad night there. Just wondered wether any other long running soul night could beat our record

Sorry mate but you cant be too careful , from what i remember there was a boot done with a poor looking maroon label sound quality poor and different b side and also pretty sure there was one with a similar green label but lettering was wrong ...my original is dark green gold lettering .....but you cant have it

Would have thought £80.00 to £100 for a genuine original .....didnt this have a quite authentique boot done?

Many thanks all sorted now

Many thanks pmd you the details , looks good

Many thanks ...just been to site cant find any to buy now although He is advertising them ,so emailed ...thanks again Jem

Wondered if any one on here knows where i can get some good quality white card record sleeves (7inch) . I have bought some off ebay recentley from seperate dealers and they were shite - white on the outside but grey on the inside and very flimsy. I used to get them from a guy off ebay 5 or 6 years ago and they were great (white inside and out), but have lost His details......any help would be greatly appreciated !

pmd you Pete

HOLD ON (QUALITY! FOR ME THEIR BEST) DEEPER IN LOVE (GREAT OLDIE) I LOVE MUSIC (BEST 70S )

Trouble is Len the Northern Soul Scene just aint cool anymore ...the music is ,but a bunch of forty up people in a room dancing just aint cool to people half their age...whats left is a pastime for older people....nothing wrong with that in its self...but on the whole younger people are just not gonna buy it. Also to many splits an factions within whats left of the scene , seems that every other week someone is starting a night ...exclaiming its "quality" not the same ole or at the other end of the scale "guaranteed floor fillers allnight" etc.....then a lot are falling flat on their face, guess why cos there are too many doing just the same already......counting the days now really! ....are you depressed yet mate
