Shinehead

Totally with most you wrote and the section quoted sums up my feelings too , some great nighters late 80s to mid 90s and good clubs too and a very varied type of soul music been played which was great if your taste is not just Northern oldies , new releases along newly discovered oldies loved Bradford , Parkers and a few more.

When I have been to see live acts and I have seen many , I have never expected a exact duplicate of the recorded songs and mostly I have never been disappointed, I think to see your idols in the flesh and giving their all has always been suffice for me .

Available to listen to on BBC sounds , abroad and over here on website or the app you just need to create an account. Available for around 70 days I believe.

I enjoyed most of what I heard and no criticism from me but seen a couple videos and I will not be watching on TV looked more like a festival at Glastonbury from the Northern Soul fraternity at the front.

Enjoyed most of the concert I listened at home but looking at the YouTube videos that was the best place , looked more like Manchester City's treble winning party and looks like they were giving away t shirts to the front row.

Happy 100th Birthday to Annie Have a great day Drew with your Mum and family .

Just attend the venues that satisfies your soul requirements. Personally I would not be seen dead at a Warner type event but loads do attend Live and live and never cross paths with the different factions of the scene , they are enough events out there to satisfy everyone. And also no one owns the music it was made for everyone.

Best Saturday night in I,ve had for years.

Got to say so far it has been great and a credit to all involved , sounds great on my system and creating a fantastic atmosphere.

Have I blown a great chance? NO , you dodged a bullet and also saved any credibility you may have.

I would assume this is the event details copied from the Events Section , sounds good to me , hope it's a success . Third Summer Music presents afternoon soul sessions every single Wednesday at The Lower Turks Head, a wonderful heritage pub in the centre of Manchester. In addition to sets from our regular soul spinners, Open Decks slots are available for anyone who wants to bring some records down! (Bringing your own cartridges preferred but not mandatory; digital decks + laptop also available) 2pm til 8pm every Wednesday, followed by our open mic night

Sounds a relaxed sort of way to spend a boring Wednesday if you're retired or off work take a few of your faves along which people may not know and play em to the crowd. Hope it's a success needs something outside the box.

Was not the greatest final for the purists but a fascinating tactical battle to watch which I enjoyed but thought the longer the game went on City would eventually wear them down , but credit to Inter for fighting back and unlucky not to score late on . And well done to City for the treble never look likely after the World Cup but fight to the end is no more apt than for this achievement .

If anyone is interested who has not got BT Sport's and are not aware the Man City v Inter Milan game tonight is been shown on YouTube live at 8 pm.

Hope they get the manager situation sorted it seems to have been a bit of a lottery in the past. Graham Potter ?

I think trying to help a team not to be relegated is totally different from not taking action against teams that tried to join a super league. But we will beg to differ so no point debating any further, but good luck to Leicester in their quest back the Premier League.

I suppose Newcastle are now in the top 7 but before the new owners they bounced up and down the divisions like Zebedee but now they have protection from relegation ! surely you do not believe that .

You could be right but the comparison I was trying to make was you posting that Spurs would not be allowed to be relegated because who they are and the premier league etc would help them avoid that however crap Spurs were.

The Man City fans were saying the premier league, var the refs would deny City the League and the F.A. cup that did not work out .

Least we know Mr Bailey recorded in lots of guises in the 70s I am rubbish at recognising voices unless they are like Womack, Stubbs , Ruffin etc. but the Bailey 70s tracks all have a light feel to his vocals something that cannot be said about Chuck Wood.

Best of luck to City and West Ham , be nice to see 2 English clubs bring the trophies back .

It is no good rebuilding when the wall is down , Ferguson and now Guardiola seem to re tweak every season and keep the players on their toes , Klopp has let them go stale and they seem run into the ground with his style of play , some serious money to spend on the midfield in particular. Whatever people say about City's spending it has been money well spent not like the millions that have been thrown at Chelsea and only get no reward.

The first time I saw the photo of Chuck Wood I was surprised because he only looks about 17 in the photo where as the vocalist sounds more mature and given that JR was born In 1937 his age at the time of ''Seven days" seems more in keeping with the record . Whoever the artists were one thing for sure Mr Bailey was a talented individual whose talent at least hit some paydirt with his songwriting in the 70s.

Interesting topic , hopefully a answer one day I do think that the photo of Chuck Wood is not J.R. Bailey as for the vocals I will take Kev Robert's version of events as he is the only one to have any dealings with anyone involved in the recordings.

Another J.R. vocal ?
