...Good luck Goldie..two copies at DDA! I wont part with mine and I know Joan wont..quality soul.x

why did you take your love away from me...and many more are soo fooking soulful and top notch and SHOULD be played!.. I do play it, greeeat tune! shall i go to the sin bin?

it can even be pointed out that the topic starter is often seen at allnighters dancing to funk. Very, very true, Ive seen Billy on the floor to funk. Maybe we should tap him on the shoulder next time he does it....hes obviously so lost in the groove, he doesn't realise!

77. Pride, Lou - I'm Comun' Home in the Mountain (Suemi) (£1,000) surely this is a jazz record? 387. Hicks, Joe - Don't It Make You Feel Funky (AGC) Hows this one make you feel?.....go on admit it!

I remember the styles of dancing clashing, soft shoe shuffle in plastic sandals to Boby Franklin and Stanley Woodruff I'm too old to start dancing in front of mirrors again and plastic sandals would make my feet sweaty Trod in some dog shit whilst wearing clear plastic sandals once...very bad!

Hey Pete, Ive always got a smile on my face when Im replying, never take it as a dig! Even if it is!HA!

Dont the 'Traditions' do it aswell?

Hi Kirsty, pm me when its time and ive got some scripts, posters etc. From the play. paul-s

Hey, Im not sticking up for SOUL SAM...I f...king hate 'King Moses'! Im not the saviour of any scene, I play in a small room where a small number of people like to hear exciting 'soul' music...free of dogma and dictatorships. I certainly dont and never have been, one of the majority! Thats why i originally got into 'Northern' in 76'! Unfortunately that scene has now become a 'majority' enterprise! and has long forgotten its original ethos of discovery and dancing!

Hi after WALLY COCO - Message To Society on florentine any help appreciated. thanks paul-s

Wow, short memories for some.. Frankie Crocker, Seventh Wonder, Sister Lee and scores of other tracks that packed the wigan floor aswell as nighters across the country?! remember P-funk from the same nighter period? Palais downstairs, Morcambe, Cleethorpes upstairs, Blackpool Mecca? These have ALL contributed to the scene along the way! Think its down to your own definition of funk. I dont want to hear 'Get up off that thing' or 'funky good time' at a soul night, BUT rhythm and soul, (which I think some of you are calling 'funk') is a definite YES. I mean, if you are prepared to dance to white psychedelic tracks like 'Deadbeats' or nursery rhymes like 'nick nack paddy wack', or clip clopping country chittlin soul, why draw a line anywhere? I think its some peoples ability to hear and feel, nothing but a four/four beat that stops this scene progressing and growing..... When you look at some of the s---te thats played out, it really is a liberty to start calling 'funk' out of place ! Just my opinion, nothing else tigers!

Sounds like PAUL HAVERKINS gospel cover up!! I know what that is..

GREAT TUNE, cant believe its not been snapped up!!

Sailboat goes for around £100.

Its a ridiculously rare record and very expensive!!

IVE GOT IT....'LOOSEN UP'. Its the best of the two. A DDA play!

CANDI BARS very cheap...very good

Would like to see them too, I started there in 75/6...coming over from Grantham.
