Joan, that was playing to the "educated" ex-pat NS scene, truth is if we all lived in the UK most of the punters would be going to oldies nights.... The gig's where it is Australian's out to dance to some soul is a different story, they are more than happy to dance to what they don't know and Paul went down a treat.

Joe, that's just complete and utter bollox and I can only assume you never actually go out and hear the newer sounds. Yep, Joe definitely hasn't been out much or just gone to Big nighters or oldies nights, where they play the odd dodgy new discovery ,to make such a, quite frankly, wank, statement as that. Very sad and unfortunately, indicitive of a large part of todays stationary and Morbidly obese (in terms of consumption of the same tunes!) scene. Change of diet might perk you up, slim you down and get you moving.

Should be easy enough to pick up mate. Try the funk board. I prefer it to Angela davies!

YES, BUT now the main rooms are all Mr m's...thats the problem. The explorer spirit has been lost..

Think Sam is asking WHEN did that become the case in UK. It was NEVER like that in 70s & 80s? I think a whole bunch of people stopped going for years (raising kids) missed a whole bunch of great music and when they returned to the scene felt a bit left out and wanted PURE nostalgia. The scene was never originally a nastalgic nostalgia scene! The returnees seemed to have only listened to a couple of oldies cds for 20 yeras and came back thinking that nothing might have moved on or other great tunes have been discovered. Meanwhile there was also a big market control element happening with regards to selling records and top 500s and price guides and blah, blah! Basically everyone seems to have (with age) lost ALL spirit of adventure and developed a fairly dogmatic view of music and soul...They need , as above post says, a system and ALL music must be categorised rather than listened and danced to. If its put in the wrong category box, then its not even worth a listen...No way can it be mixed up because this would cause discomfort and fear and loathing to the expectant punters (expecting tunes they have heard a million times already) and DJs are too scared (generally) to, as they did originally, play great new discoveries and stick with a couple of empty or sparser dance floors whilst breaking new tunes.... Its not like in OZ Sam, where punters are into hearing what the (intelligent and soulful) Dj wants to share with them and have a cracking good dance and good time in the process. They ACTUALLY like to hear the same tune over and over again here (like groundhog day, which is a good name for a lot of the nighters!) and generally try to dictate that via moaning a lot! See you soon Miss Goldie!

DVD Matt...wont be long...

Oh! Have they not secured a distributor for this classic yet? With the 8 out of ten scores im suprised OPTIMUM or other great champions of 'good' british films, haven't pounced on it...oh well, as i said, bargain bucket in a few weeks at local dvd store. Cant wait!

Interest seems to have waned on this classic film pretty quickly. So ill catch it on dvd in a month or so, im sure it will be £3 well spent.

May not mean much to you mate, but it was me put 5 years work into the original play. THERE IS a world of difference between the 'Flying Picketts' Karaoke live mish mash at Bolton and the original Surely RUSS, if he wasn't DELIBERATELY trying to latch on to my successful production, would just alter his biog to reflect the truth, as requested? The truth is, he was nowt to do with 'Once Upon A Time In Wigan'. If i opened a venue and called it WIGAN CASINO, im sure there would be a few words on here. The reason they didnt change the title for the Bolton production and merely added (for legal reasons) LIVE, is that they deliberalety wanted to mislead people. And Russ still tries to continue with the sham...its Udderly dispicable! Im taking the bull by the horns and putting him out to pasture!

You know, i have asked him politely on several occassions to stop this deliberate lie and he just ignores it. So gloves off! Shame 'SOULBOY' the film have chosen him as their figure head of credibility! It can only tarnish their reputation.
