    You can buy into anything these days.

    The mid life crisis brigade used to go out and buy Harleys or have an affair with Janice from work.

    Now it's 15K Lambrettas and the local Northern Soul night where you can buy a "Best of Northern Soul" 2000 track cd for a fiver.

    John Newman, terrible male singer?

    thought he was excellant, watch the video for "love me again* on you tube,

    The whole show was great and a real upper into 2014

    I think he's overrated and a bit emperor's new clothes to be honest. He actually sounds like he is in pain....

    Wait a minute...I never saw him? Virgin Iplayer is not the best at skipping...and now proven so as I never even saw him. I was just skipping past the feckin Proclaimers and a terrible male singer with a quiff.

    Must be too black for some...haha...yeah alright if you say so Dave.

    I watched on playback,she was the only artist I didn't have to fast forward! Like the track and those horns were amazing. Was nice to really hear the band playing to their full potential.

    She gets a bit shouty toward the end but I'll let her off as I like her :-)

    Why do you need a word? We're just folk who enjoy decent music - all sorts. Don't need a "badge" or a "name", except for the "civilians" of course.

    I am not a soulie, I am a free woman!  :)

    ( I am a also not  a "soul sista"  :rolleyes: )

  7. ....does your family call you " R - Reg" ?  :D

    You mean "Austin ambassador Y Reg"  ??

    We are going to get in trouble soon from the we are the mods!!  :-)

    Off topic posts and that.

    Ok reason....my brother always called me Reg Molehusband when I was learning to drive and when I had scooters...based on the old PIF. Since the internet was invented (I work in IT)  I have always been Reg.

    That's it really  :)   Bloody mystique lost now...hahaha!!

    Bottom line-Parr Hall is really good.

    Pisspots are a way of English life and every so often they'll get in.

    Every so often, Reg and I have been piss pots ourselves. Reg- Radcliffe????!!!!! Manchester Mod Weekender????!!! :hypo:

    I know we're still not as annoying as some of the ones we've mentioned but stop this being about Parr Hall because I'll bet if you asked virtually everyone who went on Saturday, we'll all tell you it was a great night.

    I am sure it was brilliant..........nostalgia alert.....

  9. Hi Reg,

     

    There no saying you have got the wrong end of the stick, it could be that a lot of people don't like the screens, I've never really heard any comments previously for or against them.  It could be the same with the other screen I have displaying various flyers of soul events, these could very easily be getting on people nerves, never heard comments on these either.

     

    This is a good example of what makes these forums so important , you can continue doing thinks you think people want only to find out they don't.

     

    Cheers   Phil

    I do think a bit too much Phil so don't let it concern you too much :)

  10. Hiya Phil.

    Maybe I have got the wrong end of the stick re the screens. In my cantankarous mind I 'm thinking it's a cheat, there are so many blag merchants out there anyway they don't need any extra help. But a couple of you have said that it is just to prove you are playing the real thing...although some boots do look damn good these days so I'm not so sure about that :-)

    Maybe it curbs the mitherers from hassling the djs at places like Stoke, Who knows.

    I guess if the punters like it fair enough :-)

    Best

    Reg :thumbsup:
