Ouch..it's hard but can you really admit what your real favourite oldie is? Instead of stroking your chin and trying to think of a forgotten one why not take this opportunity to come clean and let us know your favourite proper oldie... I'll start the ball rolling with my personal favourite..dunno why but I love it but here it is: The Vonettes-Touch my Heart

Yep Stevie..this is a good track I think you'll probably like....

Hey Mark, are you gonna show your face at Soul or Nothing next week?? Go on, you know you want to...

Another one I like Saving up.....

Yep the Greatstone is good for mid tempo... here's one of my faves:

Now you put it like that....

Ha ha, no I think it was Disney that drove him to it Mrs Evans

Ha ha,off topic a bit bit.... went to FLorida in the early 90s, I was just 21 but my step brother was 20..he spent the whole fortnight drinking jack daniels out of a " plastic sports beaker"...with a straw

Ta Rach, made a cock up...wriggly baby on my knee

First person who did a tape for me back in 84 was a guy called Phil Hall who did a few local spots round Manchester way and I've stil got it now...after that I latched on to lots of people who had more records than me...one of these was my mate Nick, a fellow City fan, from Manchester who I worked with at the Co-op...loads of crossover,mid tempo stuff that's big nowadays he had 20 years ago...and I thought I'd mention him as he's recently signed up to this forum... Hello Nick .....he'll be embarrassed now Now my biggest influence is my other half Richard..... obviously and the Greatstone boys of course

Yep and the documentary in Beatin Rhythm with Paul and Steve talking about their experiences...quite funny

Dunno what's happening here....think my two suggestions are at the top...Ruby and the Romantics and jean Wells... Edited out extra files for ya Reg - Rachel

......that's quite funny actually

I think so...Little Stevie (Steve Cato) on here is in it..you get the short film,a documentary plus a pretty tidy CD.

Sad news, I believe he'd been really ill for some time. RIP Lou. Here's one to remind us...

First proper Northern Soul that I heard...(after The Snake and stuff like that) was probably played at Cloud Nine in Manchester-it was a semi mod all dayer on every Saturday..They played a mixture of music like revival mod bands like Secret Affair and two tone but then there was a dj who'd play a couple of hours of 70s northern stuff which I instantly loved even though I was a proper mod at the time....whenever I hear Benny Troy,Lew Kirton,Prince Phillip Mitchel, Flame n King....it takes me right back to being 14

I've seen Mark Bicknell dance a few times... before the leg injury that was Who else, lets think....Neil Jones (behind the decks at least) , Roger Banks.... Paul Sadot dances a lot and is probably the best DJ dancer I reckon.... Oh just a quick edit...Joan of course-she's the best really....will let Paul be the best male

Does sound like Simply Red..or Charles and Eddie. Poppy 80s soul

Was a thread about this last year....may be of some interest /index.php?showtopic=19328

OK, could you not do something with the soundfile from soulclub?

Sure you don't want the 45? I've got one if you want one?

Well Mike's already said Soul or Nothing (my favourite night was 26 Nov-my wedding day) ...BUT apart from that I would nominate the Greatstone New Year bash

The one time I went to Stoke they played records like that and also more than once...they played Tell me it's just a rumour" 3 times...twice with the vocal, once without...This old heart of mine, and God knows how many times they played Ruby Andrews (but I don't think it's allowed to only play Just Lovin you once in a night)... So, although Richard badgers me week in week out to go to Stoke, I've resisted a further visit so far

Mmm, ah....no, Hot Chocolate actually
