Paul-s

Its cos they know it all. I already gave the example of the Wally Coco debacle recently. Had the dj in question ever ventured out and listened to tunes and other djs spots.... popped his head out as a punter, then he would have known his new discovery had been discovered about 2 years earlier in the small rooms of venues he had actually been at, but had never bothered listening at. It must be an ego thing? i dont know, i listen to everyones spots and base my judgement on that, not hearsay or hierachy. To be honest i cant think of ONE exciting big room in the UK...its getting so hackneyed and worn out and worst of all PREDICTABLE. I can almost make a list of what will be played just by looking at the lineup and the venue. When did it become like this? As i said i supported 3 events over the weekend and not just ones i was djing at! A lot of opinions on how the floor needs oldies and playing to the floor, seem to come from people you only see out at venues they dj at....so what do they know, beyond their own doorstep? Also, i haven't actually seen many packed BIG ROOMS, so where the f--k are these punters who demand homogonized soul? A lot of the time they go home at 2pm, pissed and tired...and the venue empties out! I think a small room with committed , soulful punters, is a far greater experience than hanging out in room full of lack lustre soulies who stopped caring about the music when they stopped going to Wigan... Many of the small rooms still contain that original spirit of exploration and excitement...And i have seen quite a few 'Big names' die in small rooms around the country because, when they were given the freedom to play anything, they still played the programmed set they were stuck in and had no idea how to operate outside the 'Big boy tunes'.... I actually feel sorry for them having to wear the straight jacket of the 'Big Name' boys (shame i cant say girls as their not allowed in ) ..it must get so f--king boring week in and week out, playing the same tunes over and over.....soul destroying! Punters need to set them free.....

...anyone got marks number or email thanks....

Shame they have stopped trying then, cos i agree. Shame the moaners dont give them the space, respect or chance to play what THEY want. Or is it that they presume the punters wont dance. It was great to see punters from the main room come into steves and dance. As, ive said, when you hear Butch in Scandanavia his set is totally different...same top quality, but not hammered. But id rather hear a small room exciting dj, than Butch in a UK main rooms playing the same tunes over and over to the demanding punters. I want to hear 'him' play, not 'them!' Its not a competition. You say 'big names' and 'wannabee', like their god and the antichrist. Since when did you become afraid of hearing new tunes? The latent potential of big name djs is not what Paul was talking about, i dont think...not the question. Its the scene thats got the problem, it demands a product and its getting more and more homogonized, complacent...lazy. Or is it just old...age? Wannabee...yes, guess it depends what they/you wannabee. I wannabee hearing great, soulful, exciting tunes I wannabee around in the room im playing in, so i contribute to a 'night', dancing and listening. I wannabee going up to the decks asking whats that, not, oh god 'not that' again and again and again I dont wannabee bored by my own tunes. I dont wannabee hammering my own tunes til im sick of hearing them. I dont wannabee looking at a dj line up and know exactly whats coming every time. I dont wannee be knowing what set im going to play, the week, day or minute, before i go on. I dont wannabee out of the room when certain djs are on...in case i miss something brilliant. I dont wannabee reading what ratio oldie to newie you can play, thats just absurd. I wannabee true to the reason i got into soul music.To hear as many great tunes as i can while im on this mortal coil. And dance to them. Just your terminology for someone whos into music and plays soul, but isn't into hearing the same tunes everytime they go out, says it all. Thats why i just reclaimed it...Peace I wanabee at a nighter where Butch, Andy, Mick , and the 'big room' djs play what they want for the night, not what punters demand. That shows respect nothing else. That would be a top night for sure and i would be first in the queue.

Great articulate post. Steves room on Saturday was off the scale..Val was great and inspiring, George was absolutely Stunning, one of the best spots (and i mean seamless) i have heard in years and i only knew a handful..THATS WHATS EXCITING and why i go out.to buzz off the excitment of hearing and dancing to, for the first time, an incredible, soulful tune.! And I saw him dj at Chris's do on Sunday and he did it again...didn't know one! And all top class.. The last hour of Steves i got to double deck with Paul from Ireland, never heard him play before and it turned into a great (for me) hour and made me listen to my own tunes in a different context against his top, soulful, tunes!loved it! Now thats a good , soulful night out...thanks to all.. I think the important point is that ALL the djs were listening to each other and as an inevitable result were inspired by each other and the night flowed as a result. I never had (or have) a clue what i was going to play, the quality of the djs on before me inspired my direction. Thats why i can never understand djs who just arrive for their spot or only go into the room for their spot...just weird to me Proud to say i supported all three events Soul or Nothing, Radcliffe and Mr Morgan, no politics, just listening and it was worth the effort both musically and socially, came back with a smile...

YOU called me Mr Sadon? and Isababel, I am very SAD ON this occasion to decline your offer of an arm chair viewing...

Wow, MBARRETT, sounds like a law firm. Just because Joey wont declare (as house rules state he should) who he is and IZZY wants to report anyone that doesnt agree with her, dont mistake my questions for vitriole. I could say your complacency and a statement about some random guy with a few Wigan pictures is dispassionate and flacid! ....each to his own. Joey already said he saw an interview (with himself ) where the writer said he was inspired by Winstanleys book...which MOST on the scene know, is WAY OUT and very innacurate..and was done to keep promoting Wigan as a money making enterprise! so that says it all....Shimy has admitted his source of reference... LOW BUDGET...jeez thats an understatement. But cost doesnt equal the products success or failure..integrity and knowledge do...two traits that have been lacking all the way through this film. From conception to completion..a membership card means f--k all to me im afraid.

CLOSE IT REG....there are two IPSO FACTO promotion moles on here. IZZY has gone all "CUM BY AR" folky insulted on us...after she insinuated people had closed minds on here. She will NOT be insulted, so best close it...her and Joeys articulation are an insult to anyoneLook forward to her supporting the scene in person, like a lot of other Europeans do, rather than via her arm chair. Be a better contribution than reporting people every 2 minutes cos they dont agree with her. I NEVER report people because i have nothing to hide and am prepared to attempt a response myself. CLOSE IT...it only advertises a dead horse of a film....PEACE!

CHECK Joeys profile...top ever sound KIM WESTON ...no title just that. And thats ALL that was in original script that i read...a Kim Weston track in a record shop scene.. NO OTHER TUNES WERE IN IT. Also he watches Blue Juice clips, obviously to compare how his film lines up to it. This guy is SHIMY MARCUS (Craptos writer)i think or another IPSO insider...he should state who he is and who he knows or take him off...NO intro go home!

Still havent said where you go, who you are, how you contribute Joey.? Where you going next? What s your favourite tunes at the moment.. WINSTANLEYS book is so far off what Wigan was about, if the films based on it, its just confirmation that its a pile of cack!? If you knew anything you would read Winstanleys book and see how much is missing (no drug references for instance, no real grit.) and how superficial the script writers research was if thats his inspiration.The Winstanley book was written with a view of promoting a modern day clean cut image so that Russ can keep reviving it via a Wigan Borough Council who dont want to know the real truths! .hows that for authenticity Mr Ipso. Next?

As i said, the original script had NOTHING to do with Northern soul its only mention to any music was a bit about a Kim Weston record (not even one off the scene) and JOEY, people on here have known me a long time and one thing im NOT KNOWN FOR, is holding back on the truth. My history and exitence on the scene are not in question. You, however seem to know f--k all and appear to be an IPSO Crapto mole!! Not a very articulate or good one either! SO Joey, you seem to know a lot about this script?? Where you from again, where can we see you out this weekend. Really IPSO guys, you are so see through and Joey , you are all bluff and no knowledge so stop the lip.And get back to producing dodgy films.

BRILLIANT!
