Forgotten Clubs
dear Bexter/George Clooney - thanks for the reply. i'm still none the wiser - you'll really need to spell this one out in the most simplistic way. robbed face to face? is it having something pinched from under your nose? ah you english and your colloquialisms

Crossover discussion

If It Was Your Last Soul/allnighter
i'd ask john dunne & danny duggan to play 60s sets. they both dj at sleepless nights, our local in dublin. i'd ask pip to play sometime before 12pm otherwise he would be too sledged to figure out which side of a record he was meant to play. it might seem a bit pointless asking 'local' djs to play when i could have my imaginary pick of any dj in the whole world of soul but those guys always play the tunes that make me happy & have no problems with drunken tomfoolery so that makes them tops! no disrespect intended to all the great djs out there.....i suppose i shouldve included more djs cuz danny & john would be quite tired if they had to dj for 7 or 8 hours hahaha. am i the only person that never has a clue who's djing at any given time during a night out?

Recent auction ending prices
can someone please tell me what does funk dancing look like? i've only seen club scenes from blaxploitation films but i guess that's not what's going on now. is it demented? as the beats are sort of more sophisticated i just wonder how tricky it is. sorry if that seems like an odd question ta

Recent auction ending prices
sorry that's part of the deal with northern though isnt it - you cant keep everyone happy

Recent auction ending prices
another consideration is that not every northern soul fan lives in england & auction sites & lists can be the only way to get hold of those records.....

Recent auction ending prices
no disrespect JOT but it was the most memorable moment cuz it was early in the night & it is an astonishingly good tune & it really kicked off the party... i dont think people were talking about the record as such, just the buzz it created, it coulda been any record, the dj was doing his job, read the crowd n dropped the right tune ...later on around 4 someone played an incredible rnb song which i didnt get the name of...but those that knew it were beaming when they heard it...maybe noone here mentioned it & i wish i knew what it was..... the point being...you can get quality oldies & newies on the same night. are things really that bad or are you just being grumpy

Question
with all this rnb going round it's probably only a matter of time before 78s become marginally more popular

Come On, Be A Man, My Son
hey all can i ask what seems to me an obvious question? isnt bootlegging illegal? so why cant this matter be taken to the attention of the police? piracy is theft after all. apologies if i am being naive.......
