I once had a chinese guy ask for, 'itchy fanny', Never heard of I says, so he keep asking , 'I wanna hear itchy fanny, i wanna hear itchy fanny'. He asked for it all night, over and over again. So finially I said to him, go on then, how's it go? and he sings...................... ................. ............. 'itchy fanny- how we dont talk anymore'.........da da der dum..

no your right if I was there I wouldnt be dancing sedately like I might at a northern night. I'd be jumping up and down on the spot going bannanas getting into the mix

works for me barry, but I better get myself a proper white then now.

right if you've started collecting 6ts northern again after getting into the house thang in the 9ts dont watch this or you'll be right back in Da house, LOL. seriously though, thats proper djing, rather than a record collector playing recods.

https://youtu.be/3YrUrZQg-4Q this is the mix I play, Ill be interested to here the difference, in this and the boot, proper. Byrney sent me an awsome link to terrance parker mashing Mass order up but alsa I cant find it,Bryney????/ least I think it was him.

this has the classic boot mix on it, as did the 7 inch, is it not the same as the actual boot mix then? https://www.discogs.com/Mass-Order-Lift-Every-Voice-Take-Me-Away/release/2727890

The booty mix did come out eventually 0on an official but as you day at the time it was imposssible to find, still sounds awsome today.

well spotted, could it be the legendary white promo!

I'll beat your typo with another inaccurate typo, I'm the worst in the world phil, people in glass houses really shouldnt throw stoned, lol.

I know what you mean, especially when you talk about privet hedges, dont you mean privvy, lol?

the're bleedin oldies as well! albeit modern oldies, So were talking about acorss the board oldies nights, lol?

II'll crank my old soap box up again, To my understanding the concept of Northern soul is about looking into the past and reteiving or reviving music that evokes passion, expressed by dancing as well as chin stoking, next craning and oh clapping, sometimes. You can buy nigh on all the top 500 in tesco's with your nectar points, thats why I think playing the same oldies ad infinium is both boring and not actually true to the original concept of northern soul. If you want to be left alone to wallow in nostalgia, thats fine by me, I have far more difficulty understanding why some of the younger crew's insist on an oldies obsession rather than making the music and the scene truely their own, but time, I hope, may resolve that issue.

there's certainly a grain of truth in people trying to freshen there collections, lot of folk are really skint at the moment dont forget too.

just though of a few more that have certainly inspired me over the years, Derek Pearson for producing simply the best fanzine ever, Rod shard and Guy for advice, support and attitiude , Dave Carne for showing me you dont have to the oldsest person on the scene to be a knowledable bastard and of course our Kid, Mick Sway and his irepresable oppo Fran Girak. i sposse I like many others have a family connection to the scene that needs reconising here. Lastly Johnny Beggs the Mad scientist of northern soul non other.

I'd second them, others to add would be Tony Smith and Ion for their passion and enthusiasm when most's had failed them.

there's some great detail on the stamford hill scene in the most excellent book, 'a sharper world' edited by paolo Hewitt

well made pionts, far from educating society and adding varriety to taste, the last ten, technology driven, years have been limiting and often seem the homogenisation of all strands of life, music is just one of the things thats got and getting worse worse.

there her kids i seem to recall.

sounds like a fantastic project, will give me brother and fran a nudge, I'm sure they'll have stuff to contribute,

you just reminded me I need to dig and see if I still have a copy of this.

all in my all time top 20, most loved, lol!

well there certainly loads of adds for kung fu gear, sharagan wheels ect in the back of 'blues and sou'l and 'black music', along with spencers ect, in the 7ts

oh yeah no 2 is 'tribute' without a doubt, i love house and garage but this is a terrible example of both!

cant think of my other two yet but I'd have to have that godawful instumental of 'do I love you', as played to a large extent in the 8ts, think i had the misfortune to hear at a soul night recently. does anyone know who its by? so I can properly bitch about how bad it is.

I'm with you on queen of fools
