Sheffield Samantha's Playlists
don't think there was anything played that you could call a typical sammy`s sound, in the main room it was current sounds from Wigan Cleethorpes and the mecca, there was also an oldies room

Funk Night On Bbc4 - Tonight (Friday 5 Dec 2014)
is this the same George Clinton as please don't run, cos it sounds nothing like him I thought the documentary was very informative, I honestly didn't realise how close / similar the funk scene was to the northern scene

A Soulful Christmas Compilation. Out 2/12/13
Got mine in the post this morning, played it through and I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of soul on the compilation. I`ve had various xmas soul comps in the past which have been disappointing to say the least, but this one ticks all the boxes.....thanks for the heads up

35 Years Ago! Searling Playlist Wigan 10/11 June 1978

I remember going to a niter in redhill, notts on a couple of occasions, at the leisure centre. Memory not too good think it was early eighties although could have been 79 so maybe doesn't qualify. .- Willie Mitchell & Adele
yep, i thought that was ok- Which Northern Track You Dislike The Most
was talking to a "polish" friend at work about music and I got on to northern soul, it was difficult to explain what it was all about and how it developed, so I agreed to do her a couple of cd`s covering northern, crossover and modern.....must say i`ve got some fantastic ideas of the tracks to use just by reading this thread....thanks- Mr Day - Small Fry - Album Out Now
Top tune, should go down really well- Winstanley's Disoveries?
cant help but notice no one has attempted to comment on this, i wonder why/- Joe 90
Very harsh, its all about opinions mate. I seem to remember all these records being floor packers, so the majority must have rated em. Another you`ll like...mistura / flasher- Joe 90
Wigan has always been an easy target for the so called "purist brigade". I remember dancing to all the records mentioned in this thread, and aint ashamed to say so....I`ll throw another into the mix, "danse a la musique" anybody?- Your First All-Nighter..where & When
Sammanthas`s Sheffield in 76 was the first for me, no idea what the first record was as it was well into the night before I recognised any, pretty sure Ian Dewhirst was the dj. I remember from that night tracks such as ton of dynamite, i`m your pimp, who`s makin love, do what you feel and dont it make you feel funky getting played, so by all accounts a cracking night and I`ve been hooked ever since- Willie Mitchell
really sad to hear this news, without doubt one of my favourite artists, one of my top sounds from back in the day would be his version of "who`s making love" would be good to hear this get played on todays scene. R.I.P.- Northern Soul Choonz
the last one is shite!! IMO ---------------------- are you being serious, tears has always been in my top 10. - 1980's Northern Low Point
