Many thanks to those who have contacted me already regarding this idea, looks like we have the foundation there to move this forward, so watch this space, again anyone interested in Yorkshire who can bring something to the party please get in touch via PM here or email bicknellmark@aol.com Regards - Mark Bicknell.

I have had an idea when recently securing our new venue 'The Dugout' at the KC Stadium in Hull for our 'Sweetest Feeling' soul nights to maybe try and arrange a 'Yorkshire Collective' Alldayer later on in the year where we can bring all the relevant Yorkshire based Soul Clubs/venues/DJ's together for one big session, I have already had good feedback on this from people so would like to invite anyone interested in this idea to contact me via PM here or email bicknellmark@aol.com. Looking at perhaps a Sunday in October which will give us plenty of time to arrange things and promote the event, of course it will not be possible to involve everyone but if the interest is good anyone who misses out on the first date will of course be asked for the second one, it would be nice to get a varied selection of DJ's perhaps one from each club. Simply criteria is you run a soul club in Yorkshire, looking forward to hearing from a few people so we can get the ball rolling. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Ian Clark, my mentor and friend without question the guvnor, head and shoulders top of the tree.

Charlie Drake - My Boomerang Won't Come Back

My point was more directed as to how highly the music rates to some people young or otherwise perhaps associated with this 74' retro vibe and not really about the musical viewpoint or content of the show last night, totally agree with you that often these type of programmes focus on the visual.

Is reality getting somehow confused here with fantasy? I think the movie and the real scene has somehow got all tangled up and interlocked simply by association and the subject matter of Elaine's film, it seems to me that many of the younger people now involved with the real scene were involved in the movie as dance extras etc. they were coached and trained were they not in preparation of making the movie some of these kids have so it seems through this in part become involved with the real deal add the older retro element of the scene to this and we end up with what was on the television last night, should it make any difference what someone wears? if their intentions and passion for the music is genuine then it should not be an issue, however it's where the music actually features in this retro vibe? How far down the pecking order of priorities does the music feature or is it head and shoulders the single most important thing that draws people in the first place? For me it was always about the records simply as, yes friendships, fashion, partying etc. all played their part but it was as I say about the records which drew me in because let's face no matter what style of this scene floats your boat musically nothing else even comes close does it?

Shit I remember why!!!!!!

No real comment on the One Show to be honest but I would just like to thank some of you for your comments I've not laughed so much in ages infact tears running down my face, I was waiting for Martyn Clunes to ask the question 'What's Northern Soul then' lol well if he was to ask me the answer would be 'Fucked if I know anymore'

ok

Instead of all this if you knew the record was good then you should have called his bluff and refused to take it back.

Don't really feel a part of any of it anymore, been away too long really and I was full on with it through the 80's and 90's, still adore the ethos of the music that will never change but as a scene it's far too diluted and fragmented now and some aspects and areas of it are so far removed to the scene I was once part of it's something I simply don't recognise or need to be part of.

Ask Happy and his mates, they like jigging about lol.
