OK so I can't spell the name of some disco band in glittery badly fitting tight suits QoFxx

Quite simple Tony, just don't read it as I very rarely read any of the "disco" threads, its life and you have choices, just make them QoFxx

No just had a very long week, and I LIKE SKA/Reggae ANd probably at my age I should of been in bed with my horlicks about 2 hours ago and with the advancing years becoming more and more of a grumpy hormonal old woman and actually enjoying it you can get away with so much more QoFxx

Sorry, but thats total bollox, the modern variation as you call it, is "disco" to many of us and has nothing to do with NS but we have to endure thread after thread about it i.e. a whole thread devoted to Travares. If modern is acceptable then so should SKA/Reggae be, as they are far more to do with NS soul music as is RnB and probably beach music and doo wop, than moderrrrrrrrrn will ever be. I certainly don't advocate banning "modern" I just choose not to read the threads about it I am not trying to do the you are only in your early 40s thing and us oldies know best but, I know that when I first got into NS in about 1972/73until about 75 SKA/Reggae were the fringe to the scene not bloody disco ANd don't bother coming back with the "move on" angle or the "played out oldies" thing, I have respect for the "oldies" but don't want to hear them anymore than I want to hear "disco" when I am out but I am prepared to tolerate it for an hour or so at a one room event because I respect other peoples tastes for derivation from the key focus of the scene which IMHO is and should rightly be 60s raw soul with the a beat that makes chills run down your spine and make your feet move. QoFxx

I love Northern (and I mean 60s cos I don't class anything else as northern) but I also like some RnB, SKA and Reggae, all be it to a lesser extent so I do not have much to listen to at home, it's nice and refreshing to be able to listen to some of it now and again and anything is better than some of the "disco" or "modern" that some of you like to go on about. If I went to a do where there were three room, Northern, Modern or SKA/Raggae you wouldn't see me in the modern room unless my life depended on it. For example at the last Rocket all nighter, there were three rooms, Northern, RnB and SKA/Reggae and it was a nice change to spend most of the night listening to the SKA/Reggae for a change instead of that infernal Disco that people seem to think they have to play these days. But if I am at a one room event I certainly don't moan if there is a certain amount of modern played cos you have to cater for all tastes on this scene which has become more diverse recently than ever before. If we had all single genre events the numbers would be so thin on the ground nowhere would ever survive. Plus I have many friends who I have met through the scene that prefer modern so we all get to mix in one big "melting pot" so to speak and would never of met otherwise. QoFxx

No, best not if you value parts of your anatomy QoFxx

Still think it's a pile of poo, and expensive poo at that QoFxx

Make that 6 Anything is better than the A side, I think it's a pile of poo QoFxx

Just rushed home from work and checked, yep Soultown, not losit the grey cells after all QoFxx

Having a blonde moment, can't remember if I have the Soultown or the Challenge, think it's the Soultown, at work so I can't check and it's really annoying me that I can't go an look will have to wait till I get home later QoFxx

Not up now till the weekend of the allnighter in Rhyl (3rd Nov). QoFxx

Love it,bought it last year QoFxx

With you on that K Just think, if it wasn't for the scene you would never of met me errrrrrrrrrr is that one of the things you don't like about the scene QoFxx

Well if you are taking the group home the acoustics are never going to be the same.................and where do they all sleep Sorry, couldn't resist it QoFxx

ANd quite rightly so I have to agree with Pete S on this one the sound of 60s music is a totally different thing to the 70s played. I actually prefer single room events that way I get to annoy all my friends as even the ones who like modern can't escape me then QoFxx

Your question "Why are modern rooms always empty?" My answer, because they are playing modern I am not a great lover of modern as most people I know will vouch for, and if there is a modern set at a one room event I don't moan about it I just go and have a fag and a natter and I have been known to dance to the odd disco tune from time to time. But on a more serious note, just because a main room isn't playing modern it certainly doesn't need to be playing , as you put "tired old oldies" You obviously go to the wrong events. QoFxx

All of it.................... TAXI!!!!!! QoFxx

Both, depends on amount of vodka I have consumed QoFxx

I'm shocked, have you been spending too much time over the border in Essex or summat...........or are the rumours true and you are a chav QoFxx PS looking for chr1s calm down, I'm only joking

No I hate them to, where I come from we used to call them bingo numbers cos everyone who owned an amusement arcade or bingo hall had one in the 70s and 80s. QoFxx

There is a soul do in Caergwle on saturday night, which is about 18 miles from LLangollen /index.p...p;event_id=5924 hope that helps QoFxx

Mind you their timing is impecable, knowing that if Mr Brown wants to call an election soon he can't if the posties are on strike, got him over a barrell QoFxx

Bearsy, Hunny, It closed before you were out of short pants (now theres are scary thought). You didn't miss much after about 1975 anyway QoFxx

I can beat that, just got Brenda & the Tabulations Hey Boy for 99p Got to be my buy of the year!!! QoFxx
