I don't harangue anyone,we are all grown men and women and have a mind of our own,which means that I can express myself
and voice my opinion on this forum as i like and will defend the right of you and anyone else to do exactly the same,
freedom of speech that's all it is.
As for attending Northern Soul venues is concerned,i attend them frequently and all over the Country,do you?.
A well respected Northern Soul DJ is a friend and he has the Blue Original Tamala Lewis in his box,i always ask him
to play it and he always does.
I know plenty of self respecting Northern Soul DJ's who will play the Orange label Tamala Lewis,they play the music
for the Dancers,because they want to hear and dance to it.
There is something that you have forgotten in your summary,the dancers PAY to gain entry to the venues,
so why can't they hear their favourite tracks?.
If there is an original to be played,great,if not play the next best thing on a record,it's about the music .
