Sooty

...walking passed King Billy as a 5/6/7 year old eating chicken bones out of a bag from Hammonds as we went....just like yesterday!x Family live at Bransholme and around the town still!x Lived at Drainside....The Boulevard...and Welly Lane in the 60's and visited me Sisters dad ritually until his death 6 years ago. Happy days for me Martyn.....X I had some lads who ran Soul Nights and worked together from Hull and Grimsby come to our giigs and DJ in the 90s....Gig was from Grimsby but can;t remember who else.....but always great folk and happy times...X Look forward to popping in mate...X LUV SOOTY X

I remember paying in to your 'Charity' doo's too Len...before u jetted off to Magaloooff...!!!hehe!x Disgraceful how 'Charity' is used and abused by any 'group' or individual for ulterior motives. It goes on...I know. Perhaps I felt the need to highlight that the particular concept i've mentioned is to promote the 'scene' in a good light for all who want to take part! A 'communal' way of channeling money and effort Nationally as opposed to individual SC's doing their bit 'alone'...which as we know can be hard work and indeed misconstrued quite easily. Clubs who want to take part....can....and collectively all clubs will benefit from the q dos and response it generates Nationally. I applied that ethos to our 9 Clubs all nighters Len if you recall!. We weren't 'individual' but a collective opening our joint potential to the masses. They came...we performed admirably....and all was good. Same approach here....it just needed liaising and a framework laid....like we did with the 9Clubs. Cred for it is easy....and media will lap it up....and 'Northern Soul' will be the 'word' put out there. I'm excited about that as are many others around the Country who see a bigger potential for the scene and Charity out there...!x LUV SOOTY X

That point you've made Hull Soul is astute and spot on!x That confidence in such and in my music ensured I have never been phased or intimadated by any DJ I may follow or what punters are in front of me to entertain......and will see me thru' until me vinyl disintegrates I reckon!x I never learnded it anywhere either...so can't exactly help another DJ suss it for him or herself! It's 'natural'....soz!x LUV BORN IN WELLY LANE HULL SOOTY X @@ ~

Winnie sed at the end........"next time I go out I'll still enjoy myself :)" That's the 'A+' category Winnie...and u signed off proudly as one!x...! That's the folk I focused on.....packed a Soul Night for 5 years Monthly on them....9 sold out/rammed A/.Nighters too!...that was my promoter focus...and it worked....!x You'd have enjoyed our nights,....no probs....irrelevant!x As a DJ of various genres for 25 years......I have never ever pre planned a tune or order!!! NEVER!!! For Northern...I take 100 records in a tool box made up of 60's/70's which include top 500...my favs from wherever.....current spins....and stuff forgotten that I found out and folk don;t play...or haven't for 30+ years!! That was the secret to my 'success' behind the decks...went with the flow....and the music flowed naturally! Take this Charity doo i'm DJing at in Knottingley on the 6th. First Northern gig since 1999 proper...only been to Kings Hall twice and popped into a gig up t'horth for half an hour and that is all in the past 14 years!! I don;t have a clue what is new...old...played to death or forgotten! I don't care either...! I didn't know back in the 90's as i'd missed the previous 20 years too! Innocence got me thru...and that is what I will rely on this time! Len has it bang on too...it's how they is presented that counts....and fortunately I can control that....most of the time...!x @@ ~ LUV SOOTY X Some comments about charity have been made. I don't know how the scene has faired over the years tbf. In the 90's we did some at our doo's....but trhe money wasn't there to be perfectly honest! Quite often I subsidised the doo's. We charged to break even....and I was happy with that. However....whilst Wigan wasn't perhaps known for its charity.....they were kids...ravers......out for the craic at the time and a whole life ahead of you all. So were the promoters. Today...as mature wise owls.....as a scene....surely it ain;t a bad thing to channel some of this experience and time served effort into worthwhile causes where possible? Take this 'Charity Soul' set up. The Professor leading stem research globally entertained warmly an approach from us Soulies in his busy Global schedule. He took it serious. Took time out to share his research and imapact on Colon Cancer and the possibilities with more funding. He flew off the next day to Italy to share his leading research with other Consultants who are leaving the research to him. He was next to tears when he was offered proceeds from a Northern Soul event which will be on going. He can plan on that....and yes....save some Soulies lives in future who weren't able to have been saved before. We've all lost them...and many before their time...init? It has not been done in an individuals name...or a soul 'clubs' name. Nope...under the 'Soul...and Charity' banner. Not all have our Soul in a plastic box or under a table in a money box at an entrance door......I reckon...X I'm proud to be associated with such folk who aren't of that ilk first and foremost.....end of...X @@ ~

BRILLIANT stuff Barry....all round gear.....and I would have loved any of your nights mate!x Brainstorm — Wake Up And Be Somebody — Tabu I ritually played Loving is really my game @Blackburn A/N towards the end of the night through sheer demand! It became a kind of anthem for a while and I was expected to play it! I did have the Wake Up tune in my box too...but never ever spun it anywhere!!!....respect...X Paul Peek-The Shadow Knows-Columbia Only ever heard it played once in 7 years out there each week-end.....played by me!! Our first Maltings A/N in Ely where Shifty had his 'christening'! I finished the night and played it as the lights came on........and folk jigged outta the hall to it!!!x Again...respect mate...X Hector Rivera-Do It to Me — Barry Played it at 100club to much acclaim circa 1995! !x It gave me the confidence to play it Nationwide and at many party's wherever and still do to this day!x RESPECTS!!x As i'm at Knottingley on the 6th and we wos gonna make a week-end of it...then there is a chance I may bring Abs my partner to your night as a good introduction to what we are all about in general!!!x She may get that induction tonight if the 100club ain't sold out as I have to be in London this evening....but at present...your week-end seems it!x I hope so...and would enjoy sharing the decks wiv u anytime mate.....'quality' stuff across genres and memories galore......what more can a Soulie want.....?!x @@ ~ LUV SOOTY X

Personally I look forward to anything relating to the scene...and this film i've read about is one of them!x I have no foundation to reflect upon as my only involvement in 1975 was to attend a local school Youth Club on a Friday night aged 14 1/2 and heard Northern played which was all new to me! The Champion...The Snake...Pain in My Heart.....James Fountain/Bounty....all vivid memories still...but that's it! I didn't go to a proper Northern doo until 1992 my first Kelle A/N which was xmas....and a fantastic memory in which I recall Keith Minshull having an influence on that night from my perspective!!x So...he has been 'entertaining' successfully to that point for 20+ years...and did the job for my next 7 or 8 being full on whenever our paths met behind the decks!x Well done Keith...time served...!x As for authenticity....I have read the discussions about the film since joining SS. I can only say this and agree with the post above that we all have different memories of the past! I saw the new Lady Di film recently. Watched it twice in my privacy. I was there at Southport when she broke down in tears at a Charity function. I know the truth of that day....from my perspective. Does the film reflect my truth? Nope...it reflects another truth....those who were onlookers and not participants to events. From that recollection...everything is as was perceived and reported Globally. So...we all have different 'truths' about an event....and we all can be right!x A recent re-acquaintance with an old school friend going back to '75-77 has enlightened me more as to how 'selective' we are with our memory's too! He has recounted numerous events to me latley about our happy days together....that I have completely forgot....and wouldn't have remembered the occasions as he has! Indeed it made me feel sad that some of my friends happiest moments for him....were forgotten completely by me...yet he beleived we had 'shared' them! Perhaps if we'd have gone to Wigan during our friendship....I may have clapped because of the 'euphoria' I was in irrelevant of the crowd or song....and he wouldn't have clapped because he'd be off outside before the tune finished for anuver smoke......or summink! He said he'd been at that since those days....which i never knew....until 35 years later!x So chill with 'the detail' as such I would suggest!x However....'factual' comment as offered by Pete S is also valid....and of interest to me as I know how things can be forgotten......and it is good to have a record of sorts to refer too....and not rely on others interpretations as 'fact'...be they film makers or punters who where there....yet possibly non compus mentis at the time???!!!hehehex @@ ~ LUV SOOTY X P.S....when thinking about it....I have always clapped a DJ after I have danced to a tune! Besides dancing to show my respects to his choice of music I automatically feel like thanking them for it too! Yeah....always done it and would have done in 1975! Not many people have that impact on my life to take control of it and make me do things that go against my better judgement! I am the one who has had to deal with the collateral such 'control' brings on the Monday....and nobody is around to put deep heat or owt on my aches and pains!!! Self flagellation...and I applaud the folk encouraging me.....!....mad mefinks....but true!x @@ ~

I nipped into a restaraunt today to see a friend for 5 minutes...whilst waiting my partner Abs witnessed this squirrel scurrying back and forth from a tree to the right with 2 of these...greengages??...Plums??!...in it's mouth at a time!!x It had made about 5/6 trips in the five minutes I was gone! Captured on her Iphone and whilst I moan that they are ott for peoples needs as far as cameras go.....perhaps I am willing to concede on this occasion the resolution did give us more insight than perhaps my Kodak throw away may have done....!x @@ ~ 4 years ago I parked my classic BMW735I in a driveway at a Country bolt hole I have. It was there throughout the summer and didn't move. After about 4 months I had the need to go into the boot....opened it....and couldn;'t bellieve my eyes......it was full....10/12 conkers deep......3 wheel barrow fulls!!!

"we have just this minute, come from a emergency meeting with the easington wefare committee, and from now on the welfare have agreed to put a security on the door,one to start with,then see if we need two..& a sign will be going up, no addmittance after 11pm.." Bob...X I had a Pub as part of my business interests several years ago. I had nowt to do with it really....just supported a good friend. Part of what I did do as a consequence was to attend the Pub Watch meetings and understand stuff from that perspective. Based on that involvement and experience gathered...I would suggest 10.30 last entry! That extra half hour is when the 'chamcers' looking for more beer...will 'go for it'! When promoting anything...I am focused on the followers....be it Soulies...or a wedding disco on an evening! If they are going...and are 'family'...Soulies....then they'd be there 9.30...10 at the latest. Finishing @ 1am?? Why would anyone want to get there at 11....to hear just 2 hours?.......folk don't turn up at weddings that late....! Done over 300 'party's' in me time and they....including the dipsticks...are there by 10......! So....be proud.....IT'S A NORTHERN SOUL NIGHT.....GET IN. Personally....I would be looking to close me doors 10.30 latest....and lett he party commence! From a group dynamics point of view....it lets folk relax....feel amongst their own....and know it ain;t gonna be hi-jacked! I watch folk at functions.....and they are creatures of habit and like to cuddle really! My type of doo!x Whilst I am suggesting it for you as you are assessing your approach....it ain;t a bad approach for any Northern function! Be there...or pi** off.....PAAAAAARTYYYYYY!!!!! Ity worked for us our way anyway.....!x @@ ~ LUV SOOTY X p.s....Dave Evison....!x What's he like???? Is he getting his slippers on already?????!!!!hehe!x He was the one who I let eat my time up the most when taking over!!! I;'d always let him play an extra 2...! He'd turn to me and say he's putting 1 more on...on the hour.....and then i'd say....do anuver Dave.....and his face would light up with joy instead of apologising for his last one!!!

Hi Bob...X Well done on your successful Soul Nights and time dedicated to serving the people....which goes beyond that night I know!x I made a comment in this thread that I never allowed any drunks into any of my functions I was responsible for. Perhaps being sold out at my Soul Nights prevented such happenings over the 5 years I did them monthly!Like you....in 7/8 years of trekking every week-end through the 90's...I never once saw a fight....or had th-*+-e need to address undesirables. It's one of the things that attracts me to the scene....no bo**ox. can see how on this occasion logistics weren't able to cover the dilemma...and sh*t happens!x Your response and approach is more than adequate for any Promoter and indeed this should not in any way represent or reflect your 12 years of sincere effort as gleamed from your post!x Respects mate and I would gladly go toa do promoted by anindividual with your ethos and passion...X Thanx for sharing and have a good un next time...X LUV SOOTY X ...security? Russ...when doing functions around my way...and all Councils have their own approach......but usually it is 1 security guard=50 people! However....when you throw Northern Soul in there....the response I had from Police and Councils back in the day....was that 2 would suffice...at St Ives...with up to 1200 in there at iits peak! Raves?? My mate put on a function at the St Ivo when we were doing our A/Ns.....he had to have 20 bouncers for 800 folk....or no license.......!x Chalky did make a serious point too.....which should underpin all dooos!x A 'promoter'...isn't a Soulie...DJ...or dancer....first and foremost. You willsee Ady....Little Scotty....Len......welcoming Soulies and having an eye on things....at all times...first and foremost!x It is your responsibility as a Promoter to do just that. Anything else is a bonus! Did I enjoy St Ives??? Nope...not really! My 10 hours was usually spent making sure everyone else was ok! I may have had a dance or two...and had a spot to finish the night.....but even those spots weren't me at me best'...as I weren't 'there' as I would have been at other peoples doo's! In fact I did take myself off some of my functions to concentrate on ensuring the night was a success! So Bob....if applying Chalkys point to your scenario....perhaps you should have forgone your spot?!x Harsh mate I know....but....priorities!x It's a valid criticism but given your track record.....and the circumstances....nobody can condemn you for it mate....but.....because you weren't 'on it'....as you say....it was 'sods law'.....!x A good thread and hopefully serious food for thought to improve punters...and the scenes nights...with lessons...albeit harsh ones...to be learnt....I reckon!x Don't take my word for the doormans approach to your nights....listen to one.....!x https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScggtRF2lsI .....erm....and whilst we were talking...2 heads crept in........possibly the 2 pi** heads...........simply done init/!x @@ ~

As a punter....hated them around on the few occasions they were allowed in to gigs during my tour in the 90's. As a promoter....I never ever took anyones money for the money.
