    a = age

    b = collection

    c = dj mates

    So a + b + c = d

    the higher the value of d = similar quotiant respect

    You with me?

    Now divide d by e

    e being an owd c*nt, one not up on his Hot Box theorum and unable to kick it with the youngsters on the floor, even with the assistance of talc (f), which now just hinders matters.

    So we have:

    a + b + c divided by d without the assistance of e or f (f being once a positive factor, now a minus)

    Which gives us the formula for being a deflated has been with feck all but their memories and bad knees as:

    A + B + C divided by D - E + F

    Have you ever thought you might be better off taking up, say, scrabble?

    You can play online, on facebook, at any time. :rolleyes:

    Why did I even bother ???

    Eighty grand and ten years later, and half the originators are dead now, or vanished off the face of the earth, and I read this and really despair.

    I mean, if anyone else can tell it better or more accurately, or find the artists and ALL the original DJs, then I'd love to see it with my own eyes.

    MARC ALMOND AND VICKI WICKHAM !!!!!!!!!

    I did Roger Eagle, Dave Godin, Tony Cummings, Rob Bellars, Carl Dene, Brian Phillips, Ivor Abadi, Chris Burton, Phil Saxe....

    Can't say I approve, but I admire your stamina! laugh.gif

    Back on topic, the film sounds like the "When Saturday Comes/Brassed Off/Billy Elliot" type film. Love story dodgy regional accents, impoverished people on estates or in back to back terraced housing, bit of politics thrown in, good people, bad person coming good in the end etc etc, but with a background of Soul rather than football/Brass bands or whatever ? Is that a fair comment ?

    What, no kestrels? :thumbsup:

    You start it Dave ....I will finish it LOLOL laugh.gif ( I mean scrabble)

    Attic guys are very keen on the underplayed genre of the music

    I've visited their venue

    I also got the P took out of me for liking duffy ( I like her voice it has a certain quality I like )

    PS I don't offend easliy just get a bit fed up of folks who slag of venues for their music policy!

    After all were entitled to our own opinion ...and boy we do have some on here! LOL :P

    Mand :lol:

    The Brit

    Annesley

    Bentinck ( back room)

    These clubs are progressive I would say

    Your turn. :D

    I am interested in discussing the song and the lead vocal - not what you're asking me. It's bordering on irrelevant as far as the song goes. In 1975, people at Blackpool Mecca didn't ask me who was the drummer on "Reaching For The Best" or the fourth violinist from the left on "Running In Another Direction". The musician credits will on be on the CVD for everyone to read when it comes out.

    This post seems a bit contradictory to me. :rolleyes:

    You've started two or three threads where you are willing to answer all sorts of sycophantic little questions to make yourself the centre of attention, yet you are unwilling to answer this perfectly reasonable question. Is that because you are uncomfortable with the question or the questioner?

    Uh oh here we go again lets have a go at the midlands for being oldies loving baggies wearers (ok you said a few)

    I know plenty of venues in the EM who like their soul progressive so don't pidgoen hole everyone in the same box!!!!!!!!!!

    We don't run to the floor at oldies veunes either...that was was when all the skinny kids danced and the majority still had a run in them!

    We get bashed for playing anything new IE duffy ...and then in the same breath get bashed for the same old same old

    Make your bloody minds up

    Dont call me oldies lover I've decided I want to be called a purist from now on pure northern soul as it was recorded by the original artist on the original vinyl .......none of that remixed rehashed sung by somone else stuff

    No offence is meant to ANYONE on this thread for the above statement

    I know plenty of Djs who go out of their way to play venues in this area

    Rant over :rolleyes:

    Oo-er! Sorry Mandy, I wasn't "having a go" at or "pigeon-holing" the entire east midlands as I live there too... and I didn't say "all"!

    As for the progressive EM events... plenty? Hmm. I'll start the list with the Attic.. care to continue?

    I was being ironic about "new" tracks like Duffy, in that it was played not because it was new, rather that it was familiar , being played hourly on the radio. It was played as a bit of gimmickry at places where a quality 60s nighter sound would clear the floor. I can see this track being used the same way, once a few have got used to the downloads.

    PS. Would it help defuse the tension if I let you beat me at scrabble on facebook? :lol:

    Could be wrong but isnt terry refering to the more exclusive c/ups rareitys one offs etc played by the likes of butch sam dyson fortnum etc that can only be heard at certain venues.

    You could easily be wrong, because it's sometimes a job understanding what Darcy is on about! wink.gif

    However, I think you are probably right and was going to say something similar to the following:

    "current biggies",....you're all wrong - there are loads of 'biggies' in the last few years that are available to the local soul nite...

    nino Tempo; soul brothers six; ruby andrews; dj genesis; chuck jackson etc etc

    all biggies (in their time) and not restricted to certain venues or DJ's and at a soul nite near you...

    (good reason to stay away from those venues, but thats not the point)

    It probably is the point Dave IMHO.

    And another point is that the promoters of such events seldom go anywhere so how can they be expected to know what are the nighter biggies?

    I was talking to one such promoter recently who thinks Joe Jama is an exciting new discovery. :thumbsup:

    I find Simon Soussan fascinating, although you're right, totally ammoral. When Ian Dewhurst and others posted memories of SS on here a while ago, the wealth of anecdotes was amazing and i thought at the time it should be made into a film. With your contacts in the media Ian have you ever thought of making a film about your life, or maybe the history of the scene?

    ...and who would you like to play you?

    Dale Winton perhaps? Just a thought.

    BTW Matt.. like the look of the event in your signature. Off to see what kind of journey it is to Nuneaton.

    Not enough I can assure you? :shades:

    As a very poor musician myself and someone who tried to write music I was, (and still am), interested in the way some music fans take up the quill and try to recreate the sound they are drawn to. Carl Dixon is someone I admire who also decided he wanted to create the music as well as appreciate it. Simple really. Both he and Ian took different paths on their quest but both undertook it 100% and with gusto that I can't help but commend. Of course if you're more interested in the 'oldest pair of dancin' shoes' or the millionth thread about 'DJs' you could always simply inhabit those posts and ignore my sycophantic script eh. Sycophantic? And you from Lincolnshire too? Cracking word and I congratulate you on it's usage. However misplaced it may be.

    Thank you for the congratulations on my grammar. Of the 207 of us that live in Lincolnshire, almost 30 are literate!

    I like your sense of humour, something which sometimes seems lacking on this site.

    ATB!

    Hi Dave,

    You are either really friendly with Dave, or you have never met him?

    If it turns out to be the latter, practice your apology in case you bump into him when he is over here in the very near future. :shades:

    They were studied questions from someone who has the potential to be a modern day orator of the Northern Soul scene. Read Hitsville and you will know what I mean.

    Hello Brian,

    Thank you for your quite personal reply, however it leaves me a little confused:

    "You are either really friendly with Dave, or you have never met him?"

    Yes, well it obviously comes somewhere within that wide gape.

    "..practice your apology in case you bump into him.."

    Oh? Why.. is he a hitman?

    "..orator of the northern soul scene.."

    This is pretentious crap! Political movements aspire to have "great orators".

    Brian, I bet you are a decent bloke! I know your son Paul, who is a top lad. I wonder though, does he take after his mother?

    i would say that reading the posts is pointing to the answer and and the nice round figure of 50

    would not be far out for an average. i am 53 in 2 weeks and the large group i go niters with are all the same age

    and do we care noooooooooo :ohmy: oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo biggrin.gif

    steve

    Oi! I texted you last night... keep up ffs! :shades:

    Ian,

    Here's question for you..

    The jump from DJ to Record Producer?

    I believe most 'music scene DJs' (of any description) are simply selectors and 'putteronners' of records. IE. A pop radio DJ needs to have MC skills, verbal skills and a host of other skills not necessarily a requirement in a small compartmentalised specialist 'scene'. So... what made you decide to manufacture a product based on soul music. Once you made the decision how did you learn the skills? Do you write music and lyrics? If so did you learn to write music after you decided to produce? Do you play any instruments? How did you learn about chord structure, bridging, pitch, tone, and the other associated subjects?

    Lot of questions there I know but they're all really tied together.

    How much were you paid for this sycophantic script?

    And anyway, what would you rather have - a tune like this getting play, say, on Radio 2 or TV and becoming successful in a commercial and financial sense for you, or it being accepted as a great soul record by a small number people who post on Soul Source? I'm sure I know what I'd prefer if I'd made and produced it. :ohmy:

    Roger

    Oh stop teasing him! Neither is going to happen. :shades:

    What a record only Northern tune our lass likes :D ,I heard it broken for the first time at the casino in 1978 when i thought or the tunes along with many others had been discovered :lol: .. unbelievable dance floor reaction.Reading previous threads if this tune was discovered at the wheel or torch it would have been probably the best dancing round the handbag tune ever ohmy.gif .

    Please stay in Notts.

    My New Years resolution is to start the thread again and not get it closed down this time.

    This means, if criticism is unfair and biased and personal, that I will not rise to the bait, not answer it, and no amount of goading or subterfuge will make me answer back. I will simply continue to ignore those people.

    Lets hope and pray it works this time.

    Fingers crossed.

    When you say "criticism that is unfair and biased and personal", is that actually a euphemism for an opinion that differs from you own? unsure.gif

    Pip pip biggrin.gif
