We have a nice few dealers booked for this one but there are still spots available at £20.00 per six foot, any interested dealers on here wishing to book please contact bicknellmark@aol.com or telephone 0161 330 6267, might make a nice change from dealing on the internet or Ebay by getting back to basics as it used to be, record fairs are few and far between with Soul Music ones being even less, really want to make this work so we can host two or three a year. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Has The Rare Scene Split?
Sorry just read this back and basically my comments have little or nothing to do with the original thread starters question about scene split so sorry to ramble on like a twat but as with many threads on here things develop and people pick up on points which is what I've done here, guess my comments and points are more to do with attitude than anything else. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Has The Rare Scene Split?
Here, here and that was the fundimental reason if I'm honest why I basically packed in the DJ thing because sometimes no matter how hard you try, how much money you part with for records, how much passion, dedication and love you have for the craft of DJ'ing because that's what it is a craft someone somewhere alway's has an opinion or can do it bigger and better than you, kudos and reputation based on how rare and how much your records are worth is and alway's will be total bollocks and very shallow in my opinion and for that very reason it basically killed it for me a few years ago, it became very much a case of going through the motions resulting in pretty much playing the same type of set which in the end bored the shit out of me was unfair on the scene and myself, this is the first time I've actually come clean regarding all this as it's made me feel a little bitter towards a scene that gave me so much pretty much all my adult life. Depsite all this, despite moving on many of my so called big trophy records this soul thing is still there inside me and will alway's be the case I've just got it into perspective and if Tony Clarke - Landslide, Ike And Tina Turner - Dust My Broom etc. still does it for me, still floats my boat then who has the right to dispute that fact, same goes for what other people get off on I have no place to force my opinion or taste on anyone. Northern Soul as a scene for me has become a little like watching something on television if you don't like what you are watching either turn it over or turn it off, if you like watching repeats and still find them enjoyable then what's the problem? I'm happy to dip my toe now and again, do the odd guest spot but even then I heard through the grapevine that one or two critics out there thought I should not have guested at Heywood recently because I've got rid of all my records and should leave it to someone who has them, I was asked to do this as a favour and certainly held my own with what was being played by the other DJ's on the night so don't judge me on a one off spot, you don't know me and you certainly don't know what records I may or may not still have or own, again far too much opinion which has no substance and totally not the case but to be honest it's so typical of this scene and water off a ducks back as I could'nt really care less. Bobby Kline, Majestics, Cashmeres, Troy Dodds etc. yes were off the menu but the nature of that gig even if they were still in the box I would have pretty much played the chosen set of records anyway. Is there a split on the scene I would say yes, is there too many events on yes, is there too many DJ's out there yes, has the scene been milked dry in certain areas yes, is the younger crowd moving it forward no it's two totally seperate scenes and good luck to them. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Don't worry too much Dave they only go up to a 46" chest so that narrows their market a little if it's directed a fat bastards on the Northern scene, on a more serious note this just about sums up what it has become in the eyes of outsiders to the scene, basically a total piss take and not to mention a rip off judging by the price, go well though with those retro Northern Soul sports bags, clocks, coasters, watches, badges, teddy bears and did I see Golly Wogs out there for sale as well? total rubbish the lot of it makes the very fabric of the scene all a little cheap and tacky.
