absolutely!.....everyone involved made this happen, lets hope this gets released globally and HANG any one who s it!

mayo loves to wind him up...a complete nob!

true, it's payback time for her commitment....of course the scene is thriving anyway, i can't deny that and has been for more years than i care to remember, but she has given it impetus to those on the outside, who want to genuinely get a grasp of our logic....pushed it firmly into the spotlight for a bigger audience to view...and...hopefully, one not so cynical as with previous generations....point being, that an increasing amount of youngsters are finding " the way out"...just like we did in the 70's.

well it's conceivably posssible, but the latter theory's the better bet...which of course would mean, exactly what various documentaries have failed to address...telling the story how it is now.

yes, ordered the dvd...BUT IT ISN'T THE SAME NECESSARILY, IS IT?...so having witnessed the premier at blackburn 3 weeks ago now, i'm off to the cinema in bridgnorth to get the atmosphere of a darkened room again...and the niece who has no identity with the music whatsoever, apart from hearing it in our car & house whenever she pays a visit but......want's to see it the film for herself to satisfy her curiosity...THAT i believe, will be the object of the exercise for millions across the u.k. want to see and understand better what so engenders us to this scene and music, viewed as tribalism or not.

totally SPOT ON! chalks....KERMODE without any shadow of a doubt, is THE U.K.'S No.1 critic on all film subjects, and a great lover of music as well...if he's prepared to get behind a british film of this nature,that paints a picture of the greatest subculture the world has EVER witnessed, then that's high praise indeed. let no-one be in any doubt whatsoever...what ELAINE CONSTANTINE has achieved is a worthy appraisal of youth and it's worshipping of a music that is eternal, meaningful and vocally inspiring, that has sustained it's ability to engage people looking for something different in a world of ineptitude. she had faith in herself to deliver and as a result, others strove to aid her to complete this voyage....it, as if ANYONE NEEDS REMINDING, has been a labour of love, NOT something cobbled together in a matter of weeks...painstaking years infact, it fully characterizes her unflinching devotion to producing a portrait of that moment in time when all was new, when northern soul was something mystical, that appeared on the horizon to salvage people's belief in real music, when the mire of pop was drowning people's ability to differentiate between the mundane. almost 50 years on, it would be a travesty if we didn't have a platform to display our unadulterated and lifelong love for the music and the scene it permeates. ELAINE has given it an unbelievably huge shot in the arm and if our film critics, regardless of their intellect can give this a thumbs up, then we've ALL not done too bad for nearly 50 years of showing the world that there is an alternative that quite simply WON'T GO AWAY.

lots of people posting on fb jumping the gun...which is both very disconcerting and annoying....can we please have the facts stated clear and precise?

post this on facebook dave, so people can see and be aware.....

seems like it was all about detroit at one time dave, very sad indeed...the connection with cameo parkway as well is even more poignant.....on the one hand r n' b and rock & roll turning into soul music which ushered in that labels eventual demise, to the phoenix rising from the flames in the form of philly....gamble & huff oversaw both era's and recorded many artists and legendary songs of the latter genre...hope the logo finds a deserving resting place.

tremendous set of floor shakers baz!

a poignant date adey, and a very honourable gesture, sincerely hope you can get it together in celebration of our most revered and iconic bard of soul!

blindin' set geoff,.....considering for myself, and as i said to you, "who's this bloke?"...julie is a good judge of character!! something for all manner of connoisseurs in your playlist...well done mate!

already been done julian, tony's empress ballroom, blackburn

odeon, telford waiting to hear weather they're scheduled to show, but they are aware of the enormous u.k. wide publicity, so it most certainly IS making people sit up and take notice. i emailed the cinema manager advising him in best interests as it is also being shown in shrewsbury, oswestry & bridgnorth so, shropshire well represented...what about you soulies in ludlow?

sounds like a cashmere's record there ian...

i agree with pete, i don't believe it was withdrawn...i definitely owned a copy but a good many years ago now.

service & funeral will be held this coming friday, 10th october in todmorden & burnley respectively.

"the voice on the phone"....distinct and unique....never a dull moment known, for rick that would be an impossibility, a broad smile and a ready-at-hand quip...from the get-go his persona struck you...always a positive attitude toward life...and he did love life.....and he knew he was going to be taken from us so quickly, but didn't want to go.....the strongest person's heart is so fragile and it's hard to hold back the tears....RICK FOSTER was a truly amazing soul, his presence was profound....now there is void, perhaps the best we can do is fill it with lovely memories of someone so kind and gracious, gone from sight but not from our hearts or minds...todmorden has had it's fair share of sadness for a small community, it will fall no more harder than now for a true son, well respected and well loved...god bless diane and all her family, and keep them....rest in peace,our dear friend, ....RICK

PM'D YOU

pm'd you

completely agree, first time i heard little love affair, thought it odd but it just grows on you...just the way it builds...as for esther grant, you can see why so many chase something that is quite simply beyond access...it's get-go from the cue fairly short but totally dynamic....love it to bits, fortunate i have it crystal clear on a cd...such a shame it's rareity prevents it from being heard by a wider audience but some discs will be eternally illusive...same goes for sandy golden...another wonderful tune

the vocals are coming down another channel...so i'm literally hearing the instrumental backing and i don't know who it is, but they were sure putting in some inspirational piano work!!

well done pete....mission completed!
