Not Royals by any chance ? cant believe this a load of old blokes discussing shoes how very modern Whatever next man bags and guyliner

Its all Tom Moultons fault

That was far to complicated for me so I gave up

Blue eyed soul team (BEST) from Italy do a great version of Gone with the wind is my love . and other classics . Lead vocalist is called Viola Roads . worth a look at

On a positive note I took my youngest daughter ( she,s 24 ) to a soul night and she was amazed at the atmosphere the freindlyness , the fact she didnt witness any trouble suprised her . She was facinated that the dancefloor was always full and that middle aged people could dance till the early hours and at the end of the night still be hanging about chatting . On a personel level I wont drink at a soul venue I dont associate drink and soul together .

One rule for one etc etc . We cant pilory one DJ where ever he plays and let another get on with it , thats double standards so what if CC was there at the beginning then he should know better .

If they have sold up why give them the work ? If a window cleaner sold his ladder ....................................................

A big name DJ playing stuff he used to play off CD s is wrong . people are paying with real money so at the very least they should expect to be treated with a bit more respect . To me its like watching a big name singer lip sync .

I would guess that if its at a dance class it wont be to esoteric . see Ive bitten , this has to be a wind up

Why didnt you ask the teacher ? Dance lessons

I have the utmost respect for the Twisted Wheel . Forty years since its closure the horse has well and truly bolted . I am not knocking the current events at but they could be held anywhere if they are any good they will stand by there own merits . Its a building , right I,m of to debate on the relative merits of wattle and daub on the bricks are better forum

Placemate 7 top floor funk room had many a good night in there

600 people stuffed in a cellar , surely we have moved on from that sort of thing and have higher expectations for our " door tax "

Give Jocko a free room in the hotel

C,mon get a grip whats so sad its only a crappy old building The Twised wheel closed in the early seventies and no amount of calling it the Wheel alters that fact . People have had thirty odd years to come up with an appropriate way of marking the huge impact the club had and have failed to do so . But I suppose the greatest legacy the Wheel has left is the enduring soul scene and that is more important than mourning the demise of some bricks and mortar .

A Burnley sound is usually distinguished by the sound of clogs . Appologies could,nt help meself

Ritz alldayer shared a hand dryer roller towel with Edwin Star it jammed up Edwin tugged at it and the attendant bloke started shouting " watch the mechanism the mechanism "

Not northern not particularly rare but not crap some nice stuff in there .

There is plenty of thread drift left in this one yet , as for Boba,s questions is great to see the scene from an outside perspective , especially a dedicated soul fans

How to win freinds and influence people , what an arrogant tosser .

Popcorn = cornypop

For me 60,s and 70,s not to bothered about the style funk northern ballad etc its all good

Bloody awfull sounds like Mary Hopkins

Bought Footsie for the Chuck Wood b side and promptly took a compass to the A side , still got it in its defaced state just to remind me Ah the folly of youth

On the Coast to Coast site there is link to studio recordings , great stuff cheers Boba
