Paul-s

Went to see this last night and i was toatally shocked! Having read the script 5 years ago, i alkready knew it would be slack, BUT, thought i would give it a chance as some people on here are giving it good reports. MISTAKE! Jesus christ, this film is just f---king diabolically crap. What shocked me more, is that so called soul lovers and Wigan lovers , could like this rubbish! I went with 5 actors (good ones) to see it and without even going into the crap costumes, the same extras waliking through scenes cos they couldnt afford enough, the main guys trouisers being too long, the f---king appalling dancing, the fat extras dancing in the background etc, it was just the worst ACTING we had seen in a long , long time! It was so bad it was offensive. The two bad guys with stupidly deep voices,, the crap dancer bad guy with the pot belly and pills in every pocket, so that when he falls over they all fall on the floor! The 30 year old Danielle Henry cast as a teenager! The f---king ridiculous dance off at the end thats decided on the worst spins you have ever seen! Im still in shock from the film, but more from the people on here who can possibly like this stupid rubbish. Forget the Northern angle, its just one of the worst acted, written and directed films i have seen..REALLY! THe 3 guys on hidden trampettes who jump up in the dance scene, touching there toes like a scene from FAME.! The badly cut original footage (thats orange for some reason) that we have seen a million times before, that switches from busy Wigan to empty hall. The 'line dancing 'scene:ohmy: ! f--king hell! The scene where the girl OD's that just a rip from the 80's tv play and bloody ridiculous to boot! Did this film have no advisors on it? If it did, they were crap! The BREAK DANCER doing turtles on his back! Alfie Allen doing an impression of Martin Clunes! The record shop guy doing a crap 'Shameless' caricature. In fact thats why the acting is so awful, its all 1 and 2 dimensional caricatures and i cant believe that a director could cast so badly and direct even worse. This film just has NO DRAMA, its UNSEXY, and just plain BORING! I see why it has no release now. Its like a bad student film. Dont even bother with it when it comes out on DVD very soon, its annoyingly bad!

SOLD now to someone who actually wanted it. Why do people put wants up and then , when they get a response, do nowt!? Anyhow, worked out ok as its gone to a good home in UK.

That is just the f---king pits. Do they know no embarrassment..

Hey as usual, facts are wrong Dave. There was a play in 80s and a tv film. But still, did my play 7 years ago, so bit of a f---king slow trend. But to say that the first (wasn't me) person to make a play about Wigan is responsible for the shite or good ones coming out now, would be like saying the first person to put a nighter or soul night on is responsible for the shite/good ones now! Its the maker of the play or promoter of the night, who is responsible for quality not the creator of the format. But jealousy runs deep, so enjoy. You started a trend for banality and it seems its catching on too. Best P

I did pm you, days ago....

YEP, one of my plays. Will part if you make a decent offer. Its fairly hard to pick up...

Once Upon A Time............................. Typical! You start a story, get us all intirgued and then dont finish it? Come on..Once Upon A Time...What? You bought a record, had a dance..what? Had a thought?

https://www.keepingthefaithmusical.co.uk/KTF/Welcome.html The words patronizing c---ts springs to mind...BUT , no doubt a throng of defenders will spring forth to support it...

Still taking offers . Its seriously rare (I dont know of other copies in UK) and shows that the 'Big boys' dont own all the big tunes. Definitely deserves exposure on the UK scene.

Heres it is! Beautiful and F--king impossible to find. Offers starting at £1000 black_smoke_band_-_i'll_keep_searchi.mp3

Have to move some tunes and toying with selling the fanatstically rare and little known BLACK SMOKE BAND - Ill Keep Searching on Black Smoke unbelievably soulful tune with not many copies floating around...absolute class! Serious Offers if interested.. SOLD

THE SHERRELL BROTHERS - The Price currison vg++ very hard to turn up mega uptempo soul £275 HOLD JADE - The Siesta is Over century city vg++ £45 SOLD

It ended with 'Do I love you' on both tours. Some got it some didn't just like all plays and films. I hope they enjoy the film.

I have the century city and would part....

Filming dance and getting a real continuity and authenticity, amongst the young dancers is a long complicated job and these IPSO guys, im afraid, didn't put the preperation in and lacked the knowledge and skills to achieve it. Hence the same old 'This is England' footage!

Didnt think you were mate. With Carla that was the first production and i used to show a film of young dancers on the screen dancing to it as the audience went out...with a scrolling text sayinf 'Still Keeping The Faith'. Again, i used it to show that the scene was still moving on and growing. BUT, for the narrative of the play itself, all the songs were in historical context....best Paul

Ive been playing SACRED FOUR - Somebody Watching You out and about for a fair while now and it Always gets people up, without fail. Very rare tune on champ. this is another good tune. MP3 file removed as per terms of use

Yes, for a couple of years now by me..

MP3 files removed as per terms of use

I deliberately included Try My Love - Tony & The showmen on the cd Chalky not in the play! I did it cos i was sick of the boring, repetitive, same,old same old attitude on the scene and said it would have been played at Wigan, if they had found it. I ALSO< put that in the sleeve notes, so i did it with knowledge and deliberation, not out of ignorance. It was a statement that things should move on...Glad to clear that up for you. best P
