Paul-s

My mate went to give them some memorabilia. He travelled a fair way and when he arrived they treated him like shit and didn't really care about period, detail etc. As he left my mate saw a 1977 badge on one of the actors. Obviously a 1977 badge featuring in a film set in 1974, would make it a futuristic piece. In some ways i think they are going for a sort of post modern, retro historical, biographical, sci-fi, post gothic, surreal, feel with this film.

THAT WAS MINE.....good tune!

Paul the dancers in the play were novices WHAT? They had never danced? Which version, I did it three tours? So, you know ALL the actors and their history? mmmmm doubtful! that picked it up over a few months. Their homework was to attend a few nights and dance around a bit. Sorry, didn't realise you were at the rehearsals mate....What an absolute Tosspot statement and very condecending towards the actors. Very arrogant and uninformed . AGAIN. Guess its cos your young eh? (the usual excuse you give). You can't slag the film when they've chosen dancers that have been attending nights for years and some of them are actually pretty good. Much better than the guy's from the play. SALLY CARMEN dances ALL of you off the floor! Truth. AND STEVE(original production) has been going to nighters (hes a soul boy) since 83? When did you start? Dear, dear, mis-informed again young man. Matty Paul and Liam are all top dancers. If there style isn't exactly 1974 not anywhere in the vicinity more like!But they could have done their homework and portrayed it with respect and accuracy? then does that really matter. (DUH? HISTORICAL) People will see them for what they are - great northern soul dancers. (didn't say they weren't, but NOT IN THE LEAGUE OF WIGAN THOUGH, IM AFRAID. ) Its advertised ITSELF as a film about Wigan? How many times do i have to repeat it? I guess you will be in the remake of "The history Of Jazz Dance". Not your style , but your great dancers.....Just ignore the word HISTORY and it will be ok. I , at NO POINT, have said you are bad dancers? Just not HISTORICALLY correct for the advertised HISTORIC recreation of Wigan Casino!! Its as if, NO ONE has done any proper research on this project. I knocked around with one of the actors from the play for a few months whilst he was attending nights (the only one that was getting out regulary too) GO EVERY WHERE do you? Didn't know you were in touch with ALL the actors (9 of them) to find out where they went?mmmmm bit of a porky there i think? and he picked up a few routines but I didn't look at him and think "boy that lad looks like a northern soul dancer from 1974". Jesus, he dances how he wants OFFSTAGE...Its called ACTING ONSTAGE. Its ONSTAGE he danced Wigan styleeee. That will be because you weren't there and wouldn't recognise a dancer from 74 if they fell on your head! Or are you talking about the couple of dvd's you've watched.? Some things you can't learn and northern dancing takes years. oh? Whats the number then? 1 ....3 ....20? SO, on that basis, as long as people stick with it, they become GREAT NORTHERN DANCERS? And if someone is a natural, they must wait 10 years for a certificate? That must be a British Dancing Federation Scheme I haven't heard about.? I saw the play and thought it was great. I didn't think the dancing was great You wouldn't recognise it. It was from 76. but that didn't matter to me because I enjoyed it for what it was. If that hadn't have been your play you'd probably still be on here slagging it. I think you need to grow up a bit and get in the real world. HISTORIC is the word you seem to be ignoring here? I didn't advertise it as that . IPSO F--KTO FILMS did. ON your basis of intelligence, if i get a part in a film as A tap dancer, I dont need to learn to tap, I can turn up and do African Gum Boot! Cos im, good at it! Doesn't really add up, does it. p.s. I cant really do African Gum Boot

The 15" studio cut of I'll Do Anything" - Tony Blackburn

Jesus...you lot could cause an argument in a paper bag on your own...were you always this miserable and negative about everything and anything that takes you out of your comfort zone? It's a bloody film...get over it Fact Beeks, because people question things, it doesn't therefore mean that 'they' are negative or indeed miserable. On many things its a 'positive' thing to question...the poll tax for instance. So, if you choose to comment, at least make it a comment, not a sound bite. Comfort zone? ERmmmm, what would you know about mine or anyone elses comfort zone. If applied to its logical conclusion, I could say that my being negative, takes YOU out of your comfort zone, manifesting in this inane comment

Okay let's have a vote on it. Are you looking forward to seeing this film when it's finished? YES Done them a big favour with this thread. Lots of views. YES im looking forward to it!

i've never seen Dave have sly digs at anyone. I come from the same stance as you, that this film is hanging onto the coat tails of a scene they know nothing about, and I fear it will be do the Northern Soul scene a massive disservice. BUT I dont get the passion you have against it. it means nothing to me. Its not Northern Soul, It may pay lip service but it has little or nothing to do with me and my perception of the Northern Soul scene. Not so long ago you were upset, rightfully so, at attacks on people on here by Ian Levine. So why have you done exactly the same to Dave, who IMO is nothing but a positive poster and influence on Soul Source? I'm not having a go. I'd love to share a beer and have a chat Soul wise with you, as I think we are very similar in what we think Northern Soul is or isnt. (Hence my 100% support of your play right from the word go) But Dave is a top bloke too, as I'm sure Paul etc are, tho I dont know them. I supported the passion shown against Ian as I felt you were spot on with your criticisms, if not a little more forthright than I would or could be. I dont think the arguement with Dave is productive or as justified. peace Mike "When I read the first post in the thread about the film being allegedly in trouble I did think that gloating is one of the most unattractive personality traits that can be displayed." So hes NOT slagging anyone here or having a dig or insulting people, just because they dont take his view.....hes not saying I have a bad personality trait in the form of gloating? Come on, read the whole script before you add a scene

"I am definitely NOT involved in making a film about 'Northern Soul'. That, I think is an impossible feat. So, your not right in saying that." But a play is?? Ask those who saw it.? I dont know...seemed to. It worked for me. Mainly because it used Wigan footage and the dancers did there homework, the script was accurate and based on fact. Also, theatre leaves room for the audiences imagination to fill in gaps and create the atmosphere. But, being a luvvie, I guess you know that.

Paul, you've lost the plot mate. Your venom and bile on this thread is unbelievable. The film is a fictional drama, not a documentary. I'm nothing to do with the film, but will watch it out of interest in case it's any good. Ian Levine's nothing to do with the film, so I don't know why you keep trying to goad him as well as others on this thread. If the film's crap and inaccurate then so be it, but let's give it a chance and not forget it is a fictional drama and not a documentary or reconstruction of an historical event. If people have got involved (like Paul and Paul) then good luck to them. They're good lads who are well into the music, end of. If the production team treated the extras poorly then that's obviously pish poor. You just come across as deeply mean spirited and spiteful. Stop goading people. If you think it's going to be a pile of trash, don't go and watch it. I also don't know why you keep goading the production team as if they should be on here every day to rebut your constant snipes and insults. If others on here had written some of the personal insults you've dished out today they'd have been chucked off the site by now. All a bit sad and unnecessary in my book. Rich You need to broaden your reading then mate. I have NOT slagged anyone. I called them 'stunt' dancers, a technical term. They , then got a bit prissy and rude. WHERE did I slag them off, before they came on with the "were young" bit? So, please read the whole f--king thread, before you start your "offended from the suberbs speech". The production team WERE ON HERE EVERY DAY, when they wanted something for nothing. Just to point out how stupid and ridiculous your reply is, can I remind you, although its a fictional drama, its set in an HISTORICAL SETTING..DUH! . Its getting tedious answering idiots who neglect ALL the facts. WHY are they re creating (their words not mine) Wigan? If its not historical? Why is it not in a fictitious club? WHY were they looking for locations where they could recreate Wigan? Why did they want Wigan memorabilia? Really mate, get a grip on articulation. You are the bilious one, as you can only answer through your bigoted view of me. Sit in silence and let CRAP happen around yourself, but dont expect me to dis-engage with life and my surroundings and let fools talk utter rubbish. Insulting? You are the insulting one. At least come to me with an adult, informed and articulated view,.

A bit premature there Pete (always been your problem ). Maybe wait for my reply?? See HOW the hypocrites on here like to steam in on the whisper of a rumour when its about me. My questions about 'SOULED OUT' are based on fact...TRUST ME (to quote a rimmerism!) Not rumour.

Hi Paul Im I right in saying you yourself are involved in some capacity in making a film ,northern soul based at the mo I am definitely NOT involved in making a film about 'Northern Soul'. That, I think is an impossible feat. So, your not right in saying that. cheers Paul

Thing is though... would you get a plumber making a film about cooking in a top notch resturaunt or a political activist / suicide bomber maiking a film on the Nobel Peace Prize...? So why are some usless tossers who think 'Duffy' is the epitome of northern soul doing a film about something as sensative as Wigan Casino.... Did their mam sing 'love bandit' or some other light ditty to them as she rocked them to sleep before dropping them on their heads.... Hang on though... just had a thought thingie... wouldn't all this debate and bitching just create more interest for the film.. and wouldn't it make more money for the backers.... jeeze me finks we shud just ignore the whole fing and pretend it doesn't exist...... very true mate......i was just trying to pick up all the childrens dummies. Finished now, I hope. Paul B, is probably off filming 'The Nicholas Brothers Story' (if hes heard of them! ) Its a new film about their life and incredible dancing, but, without the dancing, cos, " who gives a f--k if its not what they did, no one cares". This guys could rip through the entire history of dance without doing ANY research or altering a step. NOW thats arrogant

Well if you are claiming to be highly developed thank God I'm still dragging my knuckles Ive seen the marks you left on the dusty floors of soul venues. ..... But, as usual, you come on, make a general uninformed comment /dig and then when confronted with your inherent ignorance, you avoid ALL the points made. Top stuff
