Epic

Looked at the playlists on events lookback & get the impression it was another Northern oldies night. To single out Paul Metcalfe for playing Spiral Starecase & Johnny Moore (which also got played by someone else) is a tad harsh. Would the people who criticised care to list what they wanted to hear instead of telling us vaguely what they didn't. Better still how about getting yourselves behind a pair of 1210s & showing us how it should be done.

Remember buying it back in the day for about 30p - me & me mates have always liked it - choonage of the highest order!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By that do you mean they don't play the 50 or so records that you want to hear. One man's meat etc. etc.

You have had a bad experience of a night - haven't we all over the years? It's all about opinions - there may have been people in the gig who were loving every minute that you were hating. I presume you were aware of the DJs for the night - surely the roster should tell you what sort of evening you are going to get. If I attend a night & it doesn't meet my expectations I simply don't attend again & if asked my opinion on the said event will tell people why it was disappointing. To verbally attack the promoters/DJs is rather harsh IMO - it would be more dignified to vote with your feet at their next gig. That message is quickly taken in by promoters of any event.

"Love Love Love" - Bobby Hebb It was my late mums favourite soul record - used to hear her singing along in the kitchen when as a teenager I used to play it at home.

Do You Love Me Just A Little - Supremes & Four Tops

Yea - Curtis tune @ Blackpool Mecca circa 1975

Thank The Lord For Love - Living Color Shy Guy - Johnny Baker Money Can't - Turn Of The Century Don't Wait Up For Me Mama - Barbara & Brenda Time Passes By - James Bynum I Quit You Win - Jimmy Lewis

Always amuses me when Ian's name is brought to the fore once more. Love him or loathe him he certainly causes a stir one way and another. There's only one thing worse than being talked about - that's NOT being talked about. Think Mr L will be having a liittle chuckle to himself about all this.

WHICH IS WHERE ?

Anyone know the price Grover Mitchell - "What Hurts" went for on Ovenchips auction?

He had to use the word house - don't think "modern uptempo soul music" would have quite fit in!!!!!!

Most prophetic lyrics must be - Jesse James - If You Want A Love Affair "I'll be the daddy - you'll be the wife We'll play HOUSE for the rest of our life"

Think Chapter 5 - "You Can't Mean" It leaves a lot to be desired in the lyrics department........ "Look before you leap & count your blessings instead of sheep" They don't make 'em like that anymore

Marboo & Brief Encounter are completely different records - only the titles are the same.

If anybody wants my copy of Deja Vu make me an offer.

Only "Give It Up" I know is by Heywood Cash on Epic. It is the other side of "You're Messing Up A Good Thig - old Dickie Searling spin. Think it's from about 1977 & on a 12" as well

Sadly that has been the case for many a long year. When people are tipping tunes by Tom Jones, Cilla Black etc there has to be something wrong. To be honest it is no better than when Tony Blackburn, Derek & Ray etc. were played - How far has the Northern "Soul" (sic) scene progressed really?

Marvellous - A true modern soul dance anthem !!!!!!!!!!

Only 52 weekends in a year - take out 6-8 weekenders - leaves you with approximately 45 weekends to go at. Blackburn & Prestwich in the North - which are always well attended - take out another twelve - how many are we down to now? Too many gigs - not enough attendees.

Things that make me cringe? People who constantly post on forums IN CAPITAL LETTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes - those Detroit greats did a fine job - it is a pity you can't polish a turd though.

With tunes like that around no wonder there is always unrest in the Middle East - Nabay is one of the worst atrocities inflicted on the western world. IMHO of course.

Let's all agree that NYD & Funk is crap - & pop music from Israel is wonderful - glad that is sorted then.
