Just to reiterate what Andy and Joe have already said, Lifeline all-nighters are also cancelled! Don't want anyone turning up in June As soon as we have any news re-garding future events we'll let you know ASAP. In the meantime thanks for your support and we'll hopefully see you all soon

Sure will..look forward to it

Just been played Radiants "Hold On" and forgot how good it is...had to buy it Ray Crossen Jr "Try Some Soul"...another forgot about and had to buy when played again

Nah...stick to the comedy...made us laugh here

It's on MGM too

Plent y of tedious mopments for most of us at work Kitch may have played it also, will have a look at playlists when I get the chance.

We discussed this on thje RSF some time back... the X-4353/X-4354 is the first press. The record was released May 19, 1966 according to label files.

Have heard them both but not side by side so didn't take much notice regarding the difference. Wouldn't mind mp3 to compare

ET-100-A X-4700 ET-100-B X-4701 Gt.4 01-A X-4353 GT.4 01-B X-4354

The Moments on Hog have been spun at Lifeline by both Tim brown and Mick H.

I have one but it's on main pc which I've put away while house redecorated, having to use laptop for now. Will have a look through cds and see if can find it but nothings where it should be right now

issue rarer IMO.

Lifeline is all about what Winstons says...the music..but it's progressive soul and not the same old same. Lifeline has proved that you can play something different and fill the dance floor.

Who said owt about ban them? not me. Lifeline played soul on the funky side though

Maybe you should take up promoting Janine

just a year or so less than you

I agree entirely Winston but only playing devils advocate and trying to see this from a different perspective.

I read that and have to agree with him. Have seen youngsters having a reet old laugh at the attire of some folk at soul nights........

Not read all the thread Win just picked up on one or two posts...I'll shut up I agree Win youngsters don't give two shits about rules. But most of the problems I've seen on dancefloors with regards to drinks come form older piss heads who just happen to stumble on a night oout where the bar is open later. Mopst of the times youngsters have transgressed I've seen soulies have a quiet word and problem solved, once or twice a threat issued and then the problem solved But are there that many youngsters to lay the law down too? There is a distinct lack of them at venues IMO and something needs to be done to attract them.

Some of it's probably better than some of the shite played

Ok first few visits Why can't you compare the two...most of the records played over there they get to know from the UK collectors. Why can't a UK promoter promote like the Europeans do? Records are played to full floors on the continent regardless whether it's 60's, 70's or 80's, stomper, on the funky side whatever but one thing they are, they are good soul (or it was last time I went over there).

Over here Win, it's played cause it is as rare as hens teeth but shite and ignored totally cause it's a tenner but quality. Also the vast majority of venues just will not entertain forward thinking djs. They have to book dj's they know are safe and don't stray from the path of the same old same. No one likes to see an empty floor least of all the dj but records should given time and a chance to heard and accustomed too. One thing that appealed to me throughout the 80's early 90's was I knew I was going to hear to hear different records. All the dj's had their own identity and playlists. Nowaday most have and play the same records and many have played them for several years With regards to plethora of venues, given the choice of an oldies night or a newies night (whatever era) I know what the choice of most would be. Thsi can't be very appealing to someone in theior late teens hearing Billy Butler or the Constellations every week and watching dancers who wear clothes from the worst era for fashion ever Going back to Oslo....the dancers there never left the floor all night....and I dare say they didn't know a lot of the records. With

Well said JT Can imagine some youngster on their fist visit to a soul do... seeing some 40+ bloke in flares, vest and some 40+ woman in a large circle skirt dancing to the same records they heard the week before.... You then get some egotisical t***** telling them how it should be... must be so appealing and inviting to the youngsters on their first visit to a venue

because they aren't blinkered with regardss to the year or the quality and they are blighted by the petty politics that are associated with the UK scene. We went to Oslo last December and think many UK promoters could learn a thing or two about soul music IMHO if they paid a visit
