  1. Just think of all those soul people in one place like they used to do every month on a sunday afternoon dancin their little hearts out Let the memory rest in peace. As a Grantham lad, i spent a lot of time at the Palais in the 70's...loved every minute of it! Went back in the mid 80's and it was sh-te! Dont think there is a large enough crowd to support an event like that...too disperate nowadays!
  2. I have one, its a bit battered on the intro, but perks up. It is a fairly hard tune to find nowadays. paul
  3. ooooooooooooooooooH, bloody hell
  4. Hey thanks for that Rob. A concise and precise review of the thread. I guess everyones alphabet will differ slightly, depending what school they went too..
  5. Just looked on here...whats this thread about??
  6. Ive been playing it out the last 6 years. But knew it off the funk scene. Its on a fad run, like the mediocre 'Stanky' which is really only a £20 record. Vocal side is the only side!!
  7. Hope to see you out and about still. At least you can enjoy it without ALL the worry and stress now!
  8. Ive lost Pauls number? Any help please? thanks Paul
  9. For someone so vociferous about many things thats rich Pete. I just asked for people to stop referring to it as the same play, its nothing to do with it. Also, I have every right to express my horror at so called lovers of 'soul' music championing the 'Flying Pickets' cover versions of tunes we fought hard to champion and cherish. I am utterly bemused and shocked at some of the flimsy musical tastes that have been surfacing lately. Perhaps ther should be a pseudo - Soul Source page for these lovers of the modern cover, middle of the road band, version. Enough people were quick to slag 'Duffy' on this site, but the 'Flying Pickets'..."fine, good, great"....im sorry, but to me, thats f--king unbelievable!

  11. PLease, stop referring to the original. ITS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT! The Original had Original music and Original film footage from the Casino as the backdrop for the play! It had Original thought and creativity. Original clothes (no designer stubble! ) made by the Original old lady who made them back in the day! It was NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS RUBBISH! People were moved by it, it wasn't 'happy clappy' with a cover band starring the Flying Picketts lead singer! It brought a tear of recognition to many peoples eyes. People who lost friends, jobs, direction, relationships, youth. It also made people smile and laugh out loud at the recognition of those beautiful, unforgettable moments at the Casino, when those 'RECORDS' came on and you hit that floor and escaped for a few hours! Ive continued to listen to 'Soul' ALL my life, so I dont get moved by, or even recognise a memory created by a COVER BAND!? It makes me wonder if some people even listened to, or felt it in the first place. If they did and it was 'real' then NOTHING could replace it. Certainly not the 'Flying Pickets' and some second rate west end musicians murdering the Tomangoes!
  12. I told you 'Puss Tinstanley' would be in there somewhere, followed by his 'sad tribe'! He is a leach for sure. Probably charged the octagon £250 to hear him play the box of bootlegs he dj's from! His charisma and toupee like hair are worth that alone, I guess. Anyway, if you find the clip i would love to hearit. There is actually a great band called the 'DETROIT COBRAS' who covrer Northern songs (bit like white stripes) and I love them, I was just making the point that, for me, to have a cover band portraying the music that drove the characters in the play, was historically wrong and of great consequence to the play. The guy from The British Theatre review is just one bloke with no idea about music of any kind or a very broad perspective on MODERN theatre techniques !....ive met him. He originally said of my play, that there was "too much music used to cover scene changes"! Missing the whole point that it was a musical narrative!! When I approached him about it, he recognised that he had, in his ignorance, not realised that and changed his view! As is seen in his latest review of the Bolton Panto! Anyway the words "Not with a Bang, but a Whimper" spring to mind about this whole sham! Im off up north for D.D.A and some proper soulfulness!
  13. "We meet Danny, played by Richard Oldham, who gives a totally believable performance and captures exactly the Casino's individual style of dance, although he and his partner Suzanne, Laura Bonnah, never quite make it in the relationship stakes. There's another good performance from Suzanne's best friend Maxine, Rokhsaneh Ghawam-Shahidi, who is in love with Bolton butcher's boy Eugene, played by Rupert Hill from Coronation Street. He really should get rid of his designer stubble, which is at variance with the times. This world premiere has been re-commissioned by the Octagon and playwright, Mick Martin, was asked to rework his original piece, which I've already seen twice before. Sadly, it's at the expense of the meatier material. Casino Although there's still references to the drug scene, which ultimately caused the closure of the Casino, the original addiction scenes and the deterioration of the relationship, which gave the show a harder edge, have been lost. For those who love Northern Soul, musical director, Howard Gray and his terrific band play 60's and 70's music with terrific vocals from ex-Flying Picket, Paul Kissaun." Sounds great...trust me! "Directed by Mark Babych, it's all great fun, even with the irritating anachronisms, although for me, the very slickness of this happy/clappy production, distilled the raw energy of the original and I missed the wonderful tinny sound of the music." Says it ALL. Mick and the Octagon removed the reality of the piece to make it into a superficial piece of nothingness. Designer stubble corire stars and cleaned up reality's. I taught Rick to dance (took f--king ages!ha! ) and he's the only one mentioned. I feel Bolton have done nothing to improve on the original and their laziness and lack of insight is reaping its rewards! Total B-llocks!
  14. The Evening News has always led the way in Music Mick, wouldn't have any knowledge or experience to rewrite the play with! He's a total Tw-t Not sure if Dave will be able to afford the £16 ticket charge. But I guess he's prepared to go the whole hog for one of his favourite bands!
