A really interesting thread - the scene covers so much today in terms of variety and age. Probably the thing we all have in common is a love of the traditional northern soul oldies - top 1000 tunes etc that we all heard growing up with the scene or becoming part of the scene whenever we first began the love affair with soul music. Now the scene is such a mix of great music - but whatever we label it: northern / crossover / club sounds / funky northern /R & B / funk / latin soul / midtempo / beat ballads / big city soul / popcorn / modern crossed over to northern rooms etc - it is all great music supported by a group of enthusiasts who go the extra mile to travel and hear / dance to music that they love. I describe it as rare soul - but still happy to say Northern soul when people ask for a bit more detail - but then try to educate them away from stereo typical northern sounds. Without trying to embarrass Ted Massey - he played an absolutely superb spot of completely rare soul last time I heard him play out - Northern / crossover / latin / R & B / midtempo - he 'kept the floor' in a predominantly oldies orientated room - a class act!! We all go to venues for different reasons - I think we all love the occasional or regular oldies that we danced to in our youth - that is why we got into the music - for some they want to go out and listen to those records and nothing else - great - why not - others want to hear new breaking sounds and push boundaries - this is what the scene was about originally - and others want a mix - some familiar / some new sounds / some they remember vaguely that perhaps did not make it first time around when we were all spoiled for choice. Regarding youngsters on the scene - probably the natural start is with the top 500 / 1000 tunes we all grew up on - they are the sounds that will naturally grab them into the music just like they did us - for some they will then want to broaden their listening to more extremes just like youth always will - push the boundaries. As a parent of 20 and 18 year old girls and a 14 year old boy they like a huge variety of music - they love traditional Northern soul on their i-pods - along with all manner of other things that they download - also some funk / crossover / deep etc in amongst chart stuff - they don't want to go to Northern nights etc - but who knows in the future - but they always ask me to add tunes to the computer that they like so they can download to i-pods and also regularly want me to make cds for them from a real mix - rare soul music in 2012 is a broad church - let us all enjoy it for what it is - music mostly from America that we have been privileged to access!! Enjoy and be tolerant of all tastes and age groups.

I've been waiting over a month for a reggie garner - that ain't the way to make love - shipped by seller but not yet arrived - had a couple of others from the states shipped after this one so beginning to wonder! adam
