Dave Thorley

Four Sonic-If it's wasn't for my baby-JMC. Great Detroit 70's floater, I also have a unreleased version by the band with a male vocal, even better. thanks Gav

That's mainly because, disco wasn't played. But Soul with a disco backing was, and as such fell under the banners of Northern soul or Jazz/Funk. But trust me this question could open up a whole can of worms that maybe you don't want. Because the term Northern Soul, and it's definition change with ever person you speak too.

It was, in the early days run by Neil Rushton's Heart of England Soul Club. What was so cool was that it brought together, the distinct differences, of the Mecca and Wigan of that time, into one venue. You would see the Peg wearing shufflers of the Mecca dancing side by side with the beer towel, Spencer baggies of Wigan. Classic leather shoes on one and plastic sandles on the other. As for Rafters, this was in the main, the Jazz Funk evolution, of places like the Ritz in Manchester. DJ's Jonathon, Colin Curtis, Pete Haigh and others. Also it had a much more black audience. Where as northern soul had been mainly a white working class scene, jazz funk was more cosmopolitan.

QUOTE(mark.b @ Aug 13 2006, 10:25 PM) link some dj's are good on the mike and i have no problem with that but some do waffle on about nothing in particular, some are attrocious and you cant uderstand a word of what they are saying. rob thomas is the one for me i dont think i have ever understood a word he has said but he is great as he plays some awesome stuff. as for the talk or not talk i am with joan on this i would rather go and look at the record and ask the dj what it is. mark

But it never quite got going there, one day I have faith in it

--> QUOTE(mark.b @ Aug 13 2006, 10:05 PM) link no problem dave just gets to me sometimes as have sent pms to wantee's usually and no response. wasnt just you i was having a go at. good price would have been more than £50 of me mark Funny tune this I have had it since Yate days, just love it, wanted the second copy for a mate. Saw it last year in some box or another for £30 about a month later saw someone bid $500 for it on ebay. But I think, it's day is coming, soul just drips of the disc

Can anyone tell me what happen to the one and only, Brian S and the Soul Twins from Kidderminster

At about the same time can remeber, Rock City alldayers, with Colin Curtis and Cleveland Anderson playing lots of electronic productions

Or, do you know something we don't?????????

But you could of PM'd Malayka. Any way, did get a copy in the end for £50. Sorry again and thanks for going to the trouble of responding Dave

Glad to know he's OK, there but by the grace of god goes anyone of us

Hi The best sound quality is Ohio Players-Superpack-TripTSX-3506. This is a double set with all thier northern stuff on. not the best version, but the only female version.

Great flyers. What ever happened to Chris Brady

Better than my local Tesco's, said it was going to be a 24 hour one, did it for a week and then never did it again

For me that marked the end of the Stafford time, when you look at the line up. We very much all went our own different ways after that.

I'll give em a ring then shall I

Never say never Chesterfield, now what a place that was, third one, there were more squad in than punters. Shame the local plod were so set against it, could have run and run.

Did, but they never answer thier phone

I'd fit Hello love, hows things

I must be a bit slow, what web site?

Totally agree

His name is down to do a set from time to time

I asked this question in the first place, as I was really interested. Malayka and I have been think about promoting a venue in the UK for the past year, and at last we have found a great venue at Aston Villa FC. We can't say it is going to be the best venue ever, that is for others to judge, but we do want to put on a venue that people will enjoy, hear great DJ's. playing their best records, from all over europe. That in effect is the music policy, it's up to the DJ's and the crowd to decide what direction it goes in. So Malayka and I hope that with this event we will be able to offer many of the elements, mentioned above. It will be run on a monthly basis, over 2 killer rooms of about the same size. Fab sound systems, secure parking for 300 cars. The event will run from 8pm-2am, with bars in both rooms. Hope you will come along and check it out. Launch nite is Nov 4th Dave & Malayka
