Hi. In response to your posting on behalf of KEV,You said you are trying to remember what Kev wanted you to relay to us on his behalf and if you made any  mistakes etc sorry,,  sometimes sorry does not quite cover it and i shall give golden example.(your quotation.which has probably been said innocently without any malice by you)... "I was told by somebody who had overheard one of his friends say that if the DJ said a word that the other guy was going to kill him and that if anybody tried to throw him out, he was going to kill them too". If this isn't one of the biggest causes of ill-feeling & trouble on the scene today, ie; 'somebody' told 'somebody' else about what 'someone' else said....ie;... second-hand information etc. You've not only passed it on by mouth but you've also wrote it down for loads of people to read. Now 'everybody' knows 'somebody' that told them that 'somebody' else had heard what a friend of the 'party' involved had said!  The original nosey get that heard the fighting talk was someone with '100%' hearing, 20-20 vision...and I bet he/she was sat on his knee at the time..great memory eh? If the time comes when asked to stand-by what he/she had heard, chances are he/she won't be able to remember much about it all.   Seem's nearly everyone on the 'scene' was there at the time as we all know the facts.   The thing is, 'fatfish'  started a thread to clear his own name as he was not involved with the 'dispute'  but he has already been judged by numerous people who all claim to know exactly what went on and as a result its at the state its at now. Witnesse's ie;reliable people who put their name to what they are saying..leads  me to believe that there must have been only half a dozen anywhere near to comment. Second point;. As for Kev (who I had a lot of respect for)  not having much of an alternative if he'd have made the right decision in the first place ie; 'bar all' all 'bar none'  he wouldn't have had a problem at all.  But as he's taken sides ie; one of the 'party's' was doing a job for him which gave him entrance to the venue   which is no excuse at all really.  In my mind that's taking sides. There seems to be some confusion about being 'barred', if someone's asked not to show at a venue and they are refused entry etc.. to me that means 'barred' whether it be for the one night or for ever! So c'mon Kev admit you got it wrong, you can't reward one with a dj spot and refuse the other one entry and then try to make out that you're not taking sides. You know just as much as I do about the facts which is more or less nothing for sure. So be the man that I always thought you was and own up to your mistake.

I feel the bigger explanation is needed from the promoters who can barr one party and not the other without any idea of the facts. Â Â Â I feel its narrow minded and short-sighted of the promoters that they can judge 'one' on not a shred of evidence of what went on. Â Â Obviously they have taken the word of 'one' person and just ignored what facts there are. Â I feel so strongly with regard to this that me & my party of friends (that we travel to venues with) feel that we can no longer support these 'venues'. Â Â And hopefully justice will prevail and the venues fall flat on their arses!

Did I say sarky?..silly me..I meant sparkly!! (as in sparkling wit etc..) lol . (ps; Hi to Lou.x)

No..Im not new to Northern Soul. Been into the music since I was about 14 (now 43) but as Im continually stuck in a time-warp..(ie;prefer the oldies, faster the better etc) I dont generally listen to slower stuff. And as Im not really that knowledgable when it comes to who sings what..(ie;dont usually take much notice..in one ear out the other with me!) I just thought I'd ask in order to satisfy my curiousity! Plus I actually like both the tracks that I previously mentioned. I just wanted to know who BLOODY sings it!!! Arrgh!!! Kaz

Hiya Steve! Kaz (from Bradford) ere!. Now this is a coincidence! How dya feel about putting tamla etc into the (what was) modern room? You know you can do it? Go on Steve..have a think about it?

Now that is a good idea...and you never know..a very, very, nice promoter might see it and decide to include a room especially for tamla & club-soul (no slow stuff though).

Err..you've lost me?? What do you mean ' a wind up'? I haven't heard Another time another place, I just want to know who's who, or, if Harry is actually Johnny or vice versa!! :angry: ..gettin myself confused now!!

D'ya know..didn't think I'd get one reply to this topic? Just need a extremely nice promoter to set the ball rolling!!! Wish I was loaded then I'd buy a venue with about FIVE rooms and there could be some'at different in all of them!!

After listening to 'If this is goodbye' by Harry & the Keyava's..and then listening to 'May the best man win' by Johnny Copeland, Mr Dospan & I are convinced that Harry (of the keyava's) and Johnny Copeland are the same person!! Has anyone else noticed the similarity of their voices? not only that but the songs themselves are very similar. I once asked this question but the only answer I got was that Harry (he of the keyavas) is actually called Harry Starr (whoever he is). Please, please, does anyone know the answer to this as it's driving me potty!!!
