I've been told no a couple of times, once was at the guild hall, stockport, cant recall the others, never ever refused anyone giving flyers out @ my do's, only tossers would do it frankly! Anyone is welcome to give out flyers at 'change', tossers or otherwise.

jez, in my opinion it was absolutley hammered, like 3 times a night @ the ritz and kings + every oldies night, around 10 years ago, I certainly got sick of it, great tune it may be, just very well aired, unlike my draws! lol.

Shirley Brown - yes sir brother, passed onto me by Mr Cato, top tune and big current spin fo me.

personally It would be a little sad if NS only legacy was a few young retro revivalists, coping the moves and clothes there parents made 30 years ago. The scene in terms of inspiring a fascination with music and youth culture is certaily far more signifigant than that.

Not overplayed! pmsl

I love some really non black northern pop sounds to be honest, wouldnt dream of playing them out, there just grt pop tunes in ther own right. Others beverly anne being one example i detest with a passion.

the best photo I've ver seen about the scene was guy, keb, adey and minshull at the back of the 100 done about 87, for some long forgotten trendy london only rag, wish i still had a copy.

where's me eyeliner, and I've been looking @ getting a pair of those herman munster boots, with a the metal and crap on em.

reading russells laudable comments I realised the answers brings you back the thorney chesnut of 'what is ns?' Great that you iniciated with the assursion that the oldies scene is in fact a splinter, but Russell asumes Northern soul has to be about 60's dance music, fair play, but I dont share that veiw, and if were talking about forever will it always have to be about the 6ts? or rather the very principle of rejecting the mainstream fodder and searching through the past, to uncover the forgotton, emotive, dance music of another generation?

never heard of anything on there apart from neo experince, got to be worth futher investigation

https://youtu.be/fAMxJlWYpx4 forget frank wilson, this is the best unreleased mt ever, well at least a serious contender

https://youtu.be/vrquEJim9CQ here's another, as good as 'I, gone' imho

https://youtu.be/0kvEdaqEOw4 hope thats better.

try this for starters, oneof the best stormers from the last 20 year imho. not sure if its booted, the orig is $$$! but it is on c'ds https://youtu.be/teyr8jFfOsAy this for starters,

thanks for the clarifaction, not sure I'd agree with all your definitions and whats wrong with novelty anyway? that just mean they had a gimmick to help sell there pop records, a bit like, 'cool off' ;philly dog around the world 'the duck' ronnie and robyn and a host of other credible ns tunes.

fair enough, there were a bunch of bands in the late 6ts doing that rock soul fusion anyway.

methinks thou dust talk shite my freind,imho of course. never heard of brown eyed soul?

east coast yeah, manifesto I love but its black rock isnt it? even though they might actually be white, lol.

watching this now, its proper shite, bbc4 has gone downhill imho, recently. its all so past tense, 3 middle age white guys talking, in the main prog rock. DB thinks focus and scorpions are obscure! f'gods teeth! very self indulgent, but I'm still watching, wonder whats on itv 4?

derek p did a discog and article on shades of soul eons ago and i seem to remember him mentioning somethingabout pressing variations in there.

Al foster band- night of the wolf

been trying to remmeber the rest of that saying/ quote, all week, 'dance like no one is watching....................' can anyone help.?.

if you've got any spare pasties send em to me, I'll pay the post!
