RIP Eugene Thomas (Epitome Of Sound)
Very sad. if any record had to 'Epitomise' the Northern scene, it has to be 'You don't love me' RIP friend, i'm gonna play your song LOUD !

First Ever Known Northern Soul All Nighter
Surely the first 'Northern Soul' Niter was at the Twisted Wheel ? The phrase wasn't coined until a certain Mr Godin paid a visit . I know its a daft statement, but before that it was Rhythm & Soul , R&B/Mod clubs... same music obviously, but no 'Northern'

i have a copy of Brothers gonna work it out . it has 3 tiny edge cracks, but otherwise pretty much mint. the 'cracks' don't affect the playing surface, but because of this, you can have it for cost of recorded postage- THE EMBERS : Watch out Girl (Live)

looks a good do- Which weekender should I attend ?
Bridlington! For the wide variety of sounds . 5 rooms: main ballroom is classic Northern soul and current floor fillers Motown cafe: does what it says on the tin, classic 60’s & 70’s Motown Clubroom: Spotlights clubs from across the country, this is my favourite room, you hear a fabulous range of stuff in here Then there are the Modern, Rare and Boogaloo/Mod rooms . Remember , every room has its own bar and proper dance floor . So no wandering about , looking for a drink I have tickets , should you decide to buy some . £30 for the whole weekend- Trade Martin.

THAT is the playlist that kickstarted my journey- What Do You Think About The Upright Bass?
unless you 'know' for sure, theres no way of telling on any late 20th century recording, if an upright (acoustic)or an electric bass is being used. i defy anyone to know otherwise. ? slap bass is a different playing style entirely, so that doesnt count- What Happened To Alan Rhodes
