O.v.o And C.r.&.p Venues
Take the dancers out of the equation and what are you left with?? DJ's and promoters complaining on SS that their particular do is half or nearly empty and wanting a cull of someone else 's do. In my opinion this scene is primarily about the music and expressing yourself to that music, i.e, dancing. Everything else is secondary.

But our hearing deteriorates with age as does every part of the body, so no two people would hear "exactly" the same thing anyway.

Those that are OVO state that on the flyers anyway? if it don't say OVO can one assume that boot's carvers etc are played? On that basis, people pays their money and take their choice. Maybe there should be a OVO logo that people slap on their flyers, a bit like Abta, Corgi and the like? At the end of the day, it's a (supposedly) free country and if I wanted to start up a night, in direct competition to someone 2 miles up the road and was just going to play cd's, then no one can stop me...... not that I would want to do such a thing, but it would be my freedom of the market to do so.

So if I see a load of miserable looking f*ckers wearing bowler hats, red carnation and ties, dragging hapless dj's from thier Northants beds and culling them to death in the street, I can assume this is the soul police?

Well, at the risk of sounding a total creep Sian ...... you've more than paid me and all the other Rugby regulars by sticking your financial neck on the block for so long in the early years so that we have a great night to attend.

Dry Well - Gypsy
Ah, the Sharpettes, another fab pyschish tune being tugged towards soul. Or is it the other way round?
-
Dry Well - Gypsy
I came into Northern Soul from a psych direction and when I first heard Gypsy-Dry Well, I was amazed it was classed as a Soul spin. However, it's a great tune whichever pidgeon hole one cares to bung it into and I'd love to hear it played out.

Times Online - Terry Christian - Return Of Northern Soul
Wasn't there a big article in The Guardian, or the like in the mid 90's entitled something like 'White men can dance"?

The Beatles
How about 'It's only a Northern song'? The Harvery Averne Dozen do a great version of 'The word' from Rubber Soul. Tabs will have a blue fit if he see's this thread!

Times Online - Terry Christian - Return Of Northern Soul
I don't know how you make that assumption from the article when there is this line; "That Soul Sound with the Up North Groove" and his reference was the club where it truly began, the legendary Twisted Wheel in Manchester. One can nit pic but generally I though it was a pretty good article but then, what do i know!
