Sounds like the dummies firmly out the pram! The talk about young people on the scene ruining it is limited to one or two people and the odd post - it's not something I see regularly. If you don't want to play with us anymore we'll understand. F--king hell. When you get older and do a bit more you will realise that 'stunt dancer' is actually a term used ....wait for it children......in dance!! For people who do the specialist dancing in films , theatre. So pick YOUR dummies up my little saplings, get some sun , grow a bit, look and listen when you cross the road and you should get wiser and a little less up your own......

I agree with what Steve has said here .... honesty trust and friendship has played a major part in this scene of ours since I first got into it, and thats how it is for me years later, backstabbers dont get a place behind my decks and I certainly wouldnt part with any money going to a venue to see em, regardless of tracks.... when someone for example has the same record 40 miles up the road. Dawn x Well said Sister Dawn.

No, don't know who he is, the only one I know is the costume chap, and I only heard from him yesterday cos he wanted to know how to get audio tracks off a dvd I did him onto an ipod Yes. yes Pete....He wanted your wardrobe more like p.s. Levine came on here slagging people off for being negative about the film. That would indicate he knows more than us? Cos, on the face of it, it looks like a pile of S--te!

Unless you're Fatboy Slim I don't think any DJ is comfortable enough to turn down money...besides...it's not him you're playing for...it's the people through the door...just take his cash and make sure you request a big rider hahaha Does that mean you do it for money then....like a 'soul' mercinary?

What about the reverse. A dick head promoter booking you for his club? Someone who doesn't give a flying f--k about you or your music, but thinks or has been told (not even heard you!) that you are flavour of the month?! Would you do it?

I think it's admirable to set a professional stance, and possibly one of the reasons why venues like the "100 club" have achieved such longevity, Des Parker Is that place still going then!!!

seems like there is 30/40 years of grudges between people on here... 60/70 year old grudges KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE D.D.A.

Hello, Thought I'd pop on to see how everyone was doing on this forum, and to see where the latest debate was up to. A bit surprised to find this thread! So just to update everyone, we finished shooting on Sept 26th, and every scene is in the can. No cast members walked off. The Birmingham shoot went really well too. The production team is having a bit of down-time, as everyone seems to have developed Stoke flu. A massive thank you to everyone who took part in either advising on, or participating in the film, the rushes look amazing! Production stills about to go on the website. In Soul x wow, thats a coincidence that you popped on and were suprised by the thread. I thought someone would at least have told you the debate. Anyway, glad its ALL going well. Whens it due out? Yours in shoes x

ANYONE? seems to have gone very quiet??

i'm not usually up that side of town...in fact DJing wise I rarely stray out of the Northern Quarter How gauche.....

I took my youngest son to this just last Monday, he'd had a call about being an extra, so being a winner of N/S dancing contests of we went. Phew, sat, walked, and frouned my way through the day up until 3.20am when filming stopped and then back Tuesday for a session from 1pm through till midnight. Being able to walk round the set was great, seeing all that activity and folks doing specific jobs but as time went by it became more and more obvious that the homework hadn't been done to any great extent. Talking on the set with a member of the crew on the Monday night I was told by this person that they "only knew two things about N/S, one that there was loads of fights and two there wasn't any drugs". It was obvious from the scenes I saw being filmed that that was exactly what everybody else thought. Most of the extras were teenagers either from agencys or from Stoke and surronding areas who quite clearly had not been given any real idea as to how you dance to northern and this again was reflected in the scenes, some of which made me cringe. Ok I know you have to have a story, and there was a lot of energy in the dance scenes mainly, and thankfully because they chose not to use (on this occasion anyway)balding fat blokes who still think they can dance the way they did back then. We finally left, his choice, half way through the Tuesday session because he had become cheesed of with the whole experiance, thankfully it hasn't put him of and he'll be at Prestatyn with us. Ill still go and see the film because these things can seem a little strange while in the process of filming, but it will not be with any real expectation about how it represents something I was involved in as a teenager. Chris AS I said on an earlier thread when 'Souled Out' were actually replying I read the script 3 years ago and it was appalling, full of fights and only had ONE reference to soul in the form of a Kim Weston record! . Obviously with the 60's Whinehouse. Ronson, Duffy revival, people are trying to push crap scripts into a 'soul' setting....thats how they convince financiers that there is a market for them..The 'souled Out' script , when I read it, had NOTHING to do with the Northern Soul scene....It had two fights in the first few pages!! Square peg in a round hole syndrome im afraid. It seems ALL those who doubted the film were slagged of by the mercinary, 15 seconds of fame brigade as negative and small minded. BUT NOW, they are no where to be heard or seen?? Where is the update? 'Souled Out' producers? Levine?, Stunt Dancers Liam , Paul etc...Does ANYONE know whats going on or what they gave their time and memories to ? Or was the driving force just the desire to see themselves paid or on film? Maybe ego's rather than thought and care prevailed on this occasion? Just a question....

as far as sitting around all day goes my brothers girlfriend is an extra for the bbc and has done work on major films too and shes says theres lots of sitting around in every production so im not surprised youngsters are getting bored.....period mistakes ? its bound to have lots almost every film made..even big budget They get paid....

Behave Davie. It's only a film! No its not...its stopped! Not a film until its edited and shown! Its a potential film....or 'was'..

That's always been one of my problems. Well, that and being the wrong shape as well But still, I hope the problems are resolved. I can't wait to get down Cineworld to see this when it comes out. Maybe one of the 'stunt' dancers can tell us whats going on? Liam, Paul ? ? ?

perhaps he,s walked out cos he knows the film is gonna be crap. only going on from what iv,e heard from friends who have been left sitting around for days waiting for something to happen while filming. they tell me also that the film is not truly representing northern soul as we know it. Well! There a suprise ...wrong clothes for the period, No smoking in scenes, wrong badges for period, wrong shaped people for period, wrong style of dancing for period...not giving a flying f--k about the extras, a deep lack of knowledge on the subject matter....mmmmmm and now actors are walking... I hope Levine doesn't have a go at me for being negative But..................

UNBELIEVABLY...NO. Can only assume that not many know it and no one is curious... I

The majority of film productions hit snags before completion , and I would be surprised if " SO " was an exception ...... If one of the leads has done a Bobby Paris , it will be interesting to find out the reason why ........ Malc Burton COME ON 'Souled Out' reps? Where are you? I thought you were going to keep us informed.. When you want extras for nowt, youre on here ALL the time? Whats the score?
