boxes, boxes, boxes...people always seem to be trying to squeeze tunes into genres and seperate rooms. To me some Northern is pop, some funk is FONK and some r&b is rock n roll. But at the end of the day, i want variety at a night. I dont want 8 hours of just one genre. Live and let live. I definitely prefer djs that can mix it up a bit and aren't themselves stuck in the same (one genre) groove, then i get to hear an interesting spot. I agree with the put it all in one room attitude and then, as Lonnie Liston Smith said, you can 'Expand your mind'.

Are you refering to people who ask more than book? I don't see too many examples of that. The books out on loads of stuff and is missing even more. I guess a seller should ask what 'he/she' thinks its worth. Its then up to the buyer to say yes or no. If its too high, it wont sell. Its a seller & buyers choice i guess.

THe NEIL character is VERY overacted, hence my 'Carry ON Up THe Casino' analogy. I guess for each, that period was different. I was one of the ordinary kids and for me it wasn't as cliched or crass as 'Souled Out' presents. Its almost as if they have tried to make a 'feel good' formulaic Brit flick that will go BIG like ' Full Monty'. But when people try too hard, its always a disaster. It has to be made from the heart and soul and with passion and knowledge and im afraid this film lacks all of those qualities.

not sure about the syrups some of the cast are wearing tho also not so sure about the frank out of 'shameless' meets neil out of the 'young ones' character SPOT on, as i said CLICHE. And definitely very embarrassing...

I knew a lot of people on here WOULD like it. Thats why these crap films keep getting made....no one really cares. And for some, i think they experienced Wigan purely on a tourist basis...just like the film....so it is probably an accurate portrayal of their superficial involvement in Northern Soul at the time...which is fine. But to me, its a very 'Carry On' approach. Enjoy.

My god! Just seen the trailer for the film 'SOULED OUT' and unfortunately, it is f--king horrendous....bad dancing, bad dialogue, line dancing northern, cliche rubbish, incorporating badly edited wigan dance footage. Bit like 'CARRY ON AT THE CASINO'.....what a pile of s--te.....as predicted...embarrassing! When will non-scene people stop making crap films about it and when will people of the scene stop helping the twats! Of course Binstanley was proud to be adviser...cant wait for the 'Hollyoaks' attempt...hes also adviser on that!

where from Pete...whats it normally used for? thanks

It was devised, so the playwright came into rehearsal and myself and the actors improvised and set scenes over a 3 week period..(a lot of hard work!) based on my experience of Wigan and growing up in that period. And also based on my being able to achieve that as a theatre director. I then commisioned the playwright to go away and put that material into the form of a scripted play. But, alot of the script is scenes that the actors created and improvised in rehearsal, from the work we did..A lot of the scene ideas came from that. The bogs scene, Cafe scene, opening scene, entering Wigan, musical narrative, all of it really came fro me and the actors, thats why it worked. The playwright knew nothing of Wigan and little of the soul scene. His job was to stylise that material into a narrative...and he did a good job. But why do they try to forget and deny where it came from. The character Danny, is based on myself growing up as an apprentice and goin g to Wigan.

Talk about leeching. He never consulted on the original, because he had no idea what it was like as a punter..the reality and soul evaded him. Also didnt consult or help when i needed £5000 to go into rehearsal and nearly didnt get show on. Only really consulted when he wanted Free tickets, for friends, family and self. They seem to think the success will be repeated by removing the source, hacking the script and getting a bunch of ingenuine, lack lustre gropers to consult on something they dont care about, except from a financial angle. Why not call it something else, unless they are trying to raise money and interest of the back of Urban Expansions success with 'Once Upon A Time In Wigan'. Its nothing to do with the play and the script has been chopped to pieces! What a blatant rip...they know no shame. Always playing the pressing rather than the original! Born and still living in Wigan, Russ soon became a follower of both Wigan Athletic and Rugby.Attending Wigan Grammar School, Russ played for England Rugby Union Schoolboys and was also a sprinter for his country. He also loves discovering the beautiful aspects of the Lancashire countryside.Growing up as a young Mod loving The Beatles, Small Faces and Motown, Russ started collecting records and especially attracted by black music, became a regular at Blackpool Mecca's northern nights. Progressing to having his own mobile disco, he filled the Wigan Rugby League Club at Central Park two nights and one afternoon a week before founding the legendary Wigan Casino Allnighters on 23 September 1973. Over 4 million people visited the Heart of Soul until it closed on 6 December 1981 to make way for the extension of the Civic Centre... which never happened!Russ hosted three early sessions and a weekly Allnighter at the Club and was responsible for booking the DJs and top acts such as Jackie Wilson, Martha Reeves, Edwin Starr, Elgins, Jnr. Walker, Betty Wright, Tommy Hunt and Major Lance.In 1978 America's Billboard Magazine voted Wigan Casino the World's Best Disco, beating New York's Studio 54 and Russ was also voted the No.1 Soul DJ.Still promoting the scene with his own marketing and entertainments company, Russ has always DJ'd at least three times a week and loves working in radio. In 1977/8 he compiled an album and book relating the Wigan Casino story.The Charlatans, Ocean Colour Scene and Paul Weller frequently ask 'Mr. Wigan Casino' to DJ for them on tour."I've been so very lucky," smiles Russ, "The northern soul scene, music and especially the fabulous friendships I've made have helped it become my way of life. My radio show is such an essential part of 'Spreading the Faith'."Russ has also been working as a consultant to the highly successful play about the Heart of Soul called, "Once Upon A Time In Wigan" due to be filmed soon and another Casino film in 2009, "Souled Out."
