Winsford Soul

Similarly when I run Winsford Len. Used to regularly meet up with fellow creatures of the night promoters and sort out dates so as we didn't clash. unfortunately one of those nighters on the odd occasion would clash with the 100 club which being 200 miles away wasnt to detrimental to effect either venue maybe 1 or 2 punters either way. But we did try to avoid any clashes. Steve

Mick . Trust you are well The music we love is as you have said what brought you, me and everyone else together in some form or another. Is it too late now for as you say to get back to the roots of it all without any of the greed , selfishness, cynicism and everything else. Forever the optimist Steve

Surely the price of records comes into it. If they where reasonable prices all the wanna be DJ, s wouldn't have to buy boots or reissues to play. Call me old fashioned but why would any wanna be play a bootleg priced at say twenty-five pounds when they could buy a different record on its original format for the same money and play that instead and in doing so would be in my opinion sticking with the ethics of DJ,s playing original vinyl only like how i was brought up. Steve

Good job the soul police didn't turn up Saturday night mate. If they had seen us laughing, 🤣 smiling and generally having a good time with great music they would have tried to banish us to normality. But we would have kidnapped them and auctioned them off instead of selling them at the going rate. Steve

Len. When are you starting your 12 month gap away from the scene ? Thought you had started it on Saturday 🤣. Was good to see you mate as it always is. Steve

Dave. Add Stateside to the mix which really stirs up the divide between the two. Steve

Two extremes of Motown. Both dancers in there own right and both played in so called Northern Soul venues. Bottom & Company. Gotta find a true love. Marvin Gaye. It's killing me ( love starved heart ) Both stunning yet so different. One out and out 60,s uptempo dancer the other oozing 70,s class and sophistication. Both Motown. Steve

Don't forget Pete to invite your mates round to DJ for you so as you can then DJ at there's. Steve

The price that some people are asking for records I'm surprised that there's that many " DJ,s " with money to have that many venues country wide never mind in one area. I use the term DJ,s loosely Wouldn't it be fun if there where a league tables for venues based on Promoting. Traceable to a minimum of ten venues they have attended and payed entrance fee to put out flyers , spread the word etc etc . Not social media use alone DJ,s not repeating records.. More than two offences would result in instant relegation to weekender DJ status where numerous records are repeated numerous times Record boxes searched and any records in the top 500 list confiscated until the end of the night. DJ,s must produce evidence of being in attendance of venue at least twice before being allowed to play records at said venue Reputation of DJ,s to be annually revised Record dealing is free after venue entry fees. Record dealers must be able too provide proof of original vinyl if requested. Record dealing is only allowed on records with prices plainly marked to prove homework on current trends and not fancible auction prices . Please feel free to add to this list. Touch paper lit and stood back. Steve

Is it me or has the month of November got the highest number of likes. Don't think I've ever seen as many photographs with such high likes. . Steve

Not as dramatic or as rare as the above post but here's two from me from today. Oystercatcher and a Robin Steve

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Lost my Dad to prostate cancer almost 15 years ago. Very worthwhile cause Steve

Had to share this. Moonbow and the Aurora in one stunning photograph which is as rare as it gets, captured this week in the Lapland district of Sweden by a guy who runs Aurora workshops called Chad Blakeley

Yet another soulie taken from this world far too soon. Sleep well Dave. Wilton will be your epitaph . Steve

WOW. That looks awesome

Well I've finally managed to get the photograph of the visiting Scandinavian bird in my back garden. Its only taken me three days. Unfortunately its not the clearest photograph that I've taken but considering it was through a double glazed window I'm quite happy Redwing. The smallest member of the Thrush family Steve

I always thought it was a legitimate release. I bought one at the Casino on the red vinyl. Great record by the way Steve

Blackbird, balancing berry ballet

Currently on £250 . I personally prefer the yellow issue format Steve

Just found another from today. Female Blackbird juggling with a Rowan berry

Your Welcome. And thank you. Steve must be the most common name on here and I've got Smith as a bonus surname.

I think that we're all after the same result whether camera and lens or mobile phone picture. We want to share our experience's amongst friends. I love to see pictures that I will probably never get chance to take myself and enjoy them for what they are. I would love to have taken those Dolphin pictures . Think they're fantastic, I've never seen them from a boat only the coast Steve

Good Evening Sir Thank you very much, we both well Getting very choosey about actually pressing the shutter button on the camera never mind posting them on various media sites. Hope your keeping well my friend. How's Ace settling down now that you have had him a few weeks and you have both gotten used to each others company ?

Song Thrush. Rowan berries again in my back garden
