WOOOOHOOOO....hope your well Topsey and super to see you still rocking!!x @@ ~ LUV SOOTY X

Hi all!x Just popped in for the first time this year...in fact I think since last June as that is the last message i answered and apologise to you folk who have messaged me since with no reply...X I popped in to read up for research purposes on 'regulars' opinions on Sport and Politics and popped in here to enjoy the pics....which I miss although my regular haunt these days FB does cater for my interests in life when it comes to pics and stuff...!x As i've mentioned 2 topics then here's some pics that relate to them and my comments are Keep Calm and Carry On for pic 1....and re-assurance that good friend Dan Ashworth at the FA is 'on it'...and has been for a while...pic 2/3!!x There........that should update folk who been asking where have i been!!!x Loving the tunes across forums out there and indeed see regular references to this site and wish you all continued success with it!x Sad news about Frank Byrne and I look forward to seeing you folk at Manchester's Printworks to ensure his legacy carries on.....as i promised to Diane his wife at the wake....X I think that's it.....ooops.....nearly forgot.....last pics.......had a baby since I last visited too!!!x Lexy....5 month old now and a right giggler....she keeps me busier!!x The last pic is of her at Wembley last week with her Mam....Coldplay.......she luv'd the white noise....and slept soundly!!!x She wiggles to Northern....and is asleep before I get me pirated copy's out......i'm on it!!x @@ ~ LUV SOOTY X

...hi all...off to see some luvly sights on a trek along the South Coast from Worthing to Weston Super Mare......but popped in here to see some 'quality' stuff before I left!x Brill pics of our Wildlife and plants....X I have loooads to share at some point but pick these pic for now...!x Sad story to go with it i'm afraid....and a warning to all as we head out there during the Summer weather!!x This is Llantwit Major...South Wales. I took these pics 2 weeks ago. I know the family who run the cafe on the beach and own the Land....good friends for years...since 1988 to be precise! I have seen over the years Maria's Dad 'landscape' the area 'for' the people...at his own expense. In his last years....Council came along with a compulsory purchase order on ha;lf their land. They said they needed to 'look after' the area. That...was 5 years ago......they have never seen anyone from the Council...or workers of any kind....attend the Land since...apart from a serious breach after a thunderstorm....out of 6! A Charity I know is going to help them win back that trust and respect the family have earned by their Community over the past 50+ years so they can carry on...as they were.....looking after us all.....without the Councils 'help'. We had talked about casualties so far this year due to rock fall etc. There had been 3 but no fatalities...as yet. Maria said keep clear of the corner cos it is 'moving'. She's grown up there for 50+ years....knows the craic...and any crack!!!x I did as was advised....I do when i respect folks judgement on matters. Took me pics and went onto Cornwall. Next morning....on the news.....a Lady had been killed during her early morning walk......rock fall.....that corner.....RIP...X As said....stay safe.....and enjoy our Heritage.....X If your down there....pop into the cafe and say hi from me....you'll be welcomed with a smile.....and they have YOUR life in their interests.....my kinda folk...X @@ ~ LUV SOOTY X

Hi all...X I am glad to say I am gonna be puter bound doing editing and stuff for the next week or so and will take coffee break time to catch up on your pics!!!x I do see stuff on FB...but....yours are more 'quality' stuff on the whole!x I've averaged 2000 miles a week in recent weeks around the nation top to bottom and sideways....sometimes in the same day!! I have gathered many pics of beautiful...historic....and unusual sights from around Britain! I will get some together and put them in here for your pleasure!x This was last week....passing Hexham way about 5.30am......that mist went for miles and looked as tho you could walk on it!x The second pic is at 10.40pm....approaching Glasgow.......look behind....pitch black....ahead....'daylight'....great spectacle as the sun was giving it's last smile!x @@ ~ LUV SOOTY X

I have passed the Angel of the North hundreds of times...on the A1M. But never stopped and walked around it. AWESOME experience and recommend it to all...X Had the pleasure of driving past as I headed out of Gateshead last week and actually turned back at the A1 junction to go and have a look....such was the 'magnetism'...and glad I did....X A few hours earlier I was greeted with this sight of the Isle of Arran......all in all a happy and humbling day!X @@ ~ LUV SOOTY X

Correct Mate....they weren't practicing...init!x I had 2 Grandads with my Nanna Stanton. Grandad George who looked after her from the early 70's until her passing in the late 90's. 30 years. before that she was married to Jimmy Stanton....since 1940...till '70-71. Amazingly...both of me GD's met...at Margate....during my suggested time frame....to become lifelong friends. Jimmy was in the Black Watch. George was in The Navy. They both saw what happened. Jimmy made it from the 'exercises'...but returned to be a socially drunk......horrible nasty man tbf. Jimmy and George returned from the war to be in Grimsby and here is his picture. Me Grandad George as a family friend loved my Nan since the 40's....watched her get battered by Jimmy and everything during their 8 kid marriage. Jimmy and George were at sea most of those years.....but as a 4/5/6/7/8/9/ 10 year old...I remember jimmy kicking off.,....every xmas afternoon. So.....a 'love' story of sorts....but it puts 2 folk in the same place at the same time....and different 'reactions' to such circumstances. George always forgave Jimmy as did me Nan....cos of the war. Jimmy lost around 30 Scot mates who he grew up with in Glasgow. Their 'story'...is all I know. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to share such. I do have connections Woodbutcher...........but the ones that mean the most to me.....are the unsung...forgotten folk. It's why my 'connections' can't look me in the eye. I know too much of 'the peoples' suffering if u like. I let them know too.....as I said to Nige and his entourage when they commented on me UJ shoes jestingly......"I wear the UJ 24/7....not just every 4 years for a day....." Not 1 of them dare say owt. 100 year sh*te??? None of what i know about Margate will feature.......and they are the saddest tales and pictures.....honest....X Me nan with her 'soul mate' George enjoying life after they had endured enuff...I reckon!x LUV SOOTY X

Sorry WoodButcher....I didn't give all the 'detail'. It was for a week leading up to Ddays landings from round t'corner. A decoy they were. The Black Watch and Irish in the main were put through there.....canon fodder init. Supposed to be on a training run. Some things I ain't proud of being British. But then again....there is always a greater good to be had....I keep finding...X @@ ~ LUV SOOTY X I'll leave you with a 'unique' as opposed to a 'great' pic. It is one of the only pic that came out of UKIP Headquarters during the count!! The rest are on my FB!! I was the only 'independent' allowed down in the 'basement'. No Journalists were allowed and besides 2 security men I was the only non white in the room! Welcomed by all too....which is not so unique......enjoy!x

To commemorate VE Day....i did this picture of Margate. To the right is the harbour and far right the white building/outcrop is the Winter Gardens roof. I took it on Thursday...E Day. My Grandad George was in the Navy on a minesweeper off of Gibralter for most of WW2. He then fished out of Grimsby docks on trawlers for 40 years after the war and ended up as a maintenance man at Immingham docks working on Nuclear subs until retirement!x He told me this....from the rooftop of the Winter Gardens in Margate....12 years ago....RIP...X The beach featured in the pic was used as an impromptu First Aid area....during the embarkation for D Day! He said there were thousands of troops lined up in 4 columns being shuffled onto ships taking them to France. Where those tankers are moored.......troop ships that had just left the harbour....bulging with young lads...and lasses....were being hit....sunk....by bombers/fighters flying overhead from the Luftwaffe. The First Aid post was set up to deal with those managing to swim back or be rescued by little tugs scouting for survivors among it all. He said the majority of lads in the FA area were there because they had 'lost it'....whilst in the queue to get on the next ship. Not many bombed soldiers were rescued...all within sight of all. It is a story that isn't told....and pictures of it were banned as it was too horrific to show back in the 50's. the pics of the situation are under the 100 year 'secret' rule. Not many made that category when 'censorship' was being applied to the horrors of WW2. Not every picture tells a story....does it?x The second pic was of us being escorted off the premises after being told 'we can't go there'....after taking pics when breaching the security for the Winter Garden/Farage election result venue!! I turned around and said calmly.....'do not tell me I cannot take a pic of where my GrandDad left these shores to go fight for us all....' He must have got my sincerity in my voice and posture....and calmed down. Good job too....he got camera shy....init!x Sheeesh. @@ ~ LUV SOOTY X Not a Political point or anything really....just a fact.....the 'meeting point' used by many UKIP staff/support crew and the like....as well as reporters....was this venue sporting proudly Northern Soul paraphernalia....just a fact!!x @@ ~ X

Hi all!x Super pics i've seen for the last half hour and stopped pressing like cos me finger hurt...!x I went through the route of the Yorkshire Tour last week. Otley/Ilkley and Askwith. This pic is taken from the Ot/Ilk road looking across the valley to Askwith......last Wednesday hottest day i've had so far 'out there' this year!x I used the 'panoramic' feature on the ipad....!x I then went to York Minster and was privileged to go behind the scenes and visit the folk who are restoring the famous East window in the Minster. Nick the gaffa and Mel here are part of a 12 folk team making new panes of glass that 'mirror' the original 600 year old panes and 'seal' them by putting these squares in front! They take 2 days to make each new pane and will last an estimated 200 years! There are 700 individual squares like this.....and each original takes 3 weeks to clean and make ready for 'sealing'....!!x I managed to get a fingerprint on the front one.....for posterity!!!x These last pics are of Sutton Bank near Boltby on the edge of the North Yorks Moors. Apparently it featured on the 'secret Britain' progamme of late with hang glider nutters jumping off it!x Amazingly this scene and more is only 7 minutes from the A1.....a secret indeed!!!x ...a unique view from Ravensthorpe Manor....100+acres and featured in the Doomsday Book!!x Privately owned mansion and grounds and this is the rear view back to the A1 and Thirsk from Boltby!x England at it's best methinks all the above!x St George would be proud....as am I....delight....without any Turkish...or anyone tbf!x @@ ~ LUV SOOTY X ...off tae Edinburgh and a private Castle to deliver wedding paraphernalia for some Russian Billionaires sons wedding who is on the telly in some soap in Russia apparently...all secret so can't say owt.......but will get what I can and bring the best!x These 100 year old apple picking ladders from York are part of the props for the wedding pics...as is a 100 year old croquet set....by Jaques of course...which I collected in Cornwall some months back!!x The Russkies luv proper English stuff....or are trusting of a good Brit who knows the craic......yawn!!x For those interested in the Minster etc there are more 'behind the scenes' pics on me timeline on FB...X Have a happy week all...X

Thanx Steve...X When I posted it last night.....I couldn't be ar*ed to think...!!x Passed it about 60 times this year so far....mad init!x I have seen BIG things jumping outta the lake....and yup....would love an hour or two meself to have a go!x Was on me way toTintagel in Cornwall last week when i took it....hence me approach to where am I?! All I knew is I had 300+ miles to go.....and was glad of the fresh air!!!x That can be contaminated on occasion besides the burger smells....once a Tornado came hairing between the hills...straight over me head 3-400ft high.......plume of jet fuel fumes settled all around me.....AWESOME!!!x This was the sight to greet me at a strectch of Cornwall's coastline....worth the drive....as always!x All my pics are with me ipad.....click and go!x Like DJing.....never done techno's and stuff.....but am happy with the quality for my purposes and hope some of you proper picture takers forgive the quality and me for being 'raw'!!x Off to Yakshire via Skeggy.....then down to Bristol and Reading....and will choose me best pic to come back with!x Have a good week Steve and all...X LUV SOOTY X

Sorry folks......I will need an hour to catch up.....and will find that time as I do like pics!!X Thought i'd leave with these before I go trekking again!x Me fav scenic pic of rural Britain i've taken on me travels of late...X Killington Lake behind the services on the M74/M6 heading South past Carlilse....or just before....!....soz I just see it...!!x Best service station in the UK...done em all.........yet never been in it....init!!x ...and this me fav pic of Industrious Britain taken last week........Glasgow at it's best....X If u squint ure eyes....it looks like a satellite arm........on a spaceship.......!!!!!x Luv it!!!x Have a good week all!x @@ ~ LUV SOOTY X

Morning!x I have been to Paris and various places in France several times in the past 10 days. Different reasons each time but managed to get some 'me' time Wednesday evening before returning on the Chunnel. I went to Dunkirk to see some old friends and pay respects to me Grandads friends who died there. I was so glad I did. This pic....speaks for itself! The Harbour entrance at Dunkirk....at sunset....70 years on.....!!!!!!x Possibly my fav pic i've ever taken!x This second pic is 'topical'. Idris and his brother are good friends of mine. Idris is in charge of security at the Pakistani Embassy in Paris. His twin brother serves the Pakistani billionaires doing business in the UK as an accountant based in Coventry! Their two older brothers are in the Taliban....! I asked Idris what he or his colleagues thought of the Abid Naseer craic. His immediate response echoed by others in our company was that they considered him a 'grass' who spilt his guts to the Brits and was given to the US for further knowledge gathering!! The courts malarkey is just a charade to keep 'the people' re-assured. He is now 'safe' and in the Yanks care.....is the considered view! I don't add any comment on the matter just share what I found out...!x I know some of you follow my 'reports' via me FB and I will be putting some pics up covering me exploits in France and elsewhere later today!x Have a happy day all!x Off to Cyprus for the weekend and will take some pics if able.....it will be dark whilst I;m popping in and some of the company may be camera shy....!!x @@ ~ LUV SOOTY X

If u DJ'd in London...Midlands...Manchester....Blackburn....Newcastle....Grimsby....Bristol...Southend....to mention a few geographical locations....what other terminology would one use other than a 'National' DJ?

Hi Martyn...X Super topic and many memory's brought back mate....thanx for that!x As you have re-iterated....the core interest was to recall tunes played in the 90's...which I gladly shared tunes I...me..played from '93-2000. As a DJ and in tune with the people then I focused on not doubling up in a night....steering away from the obvious where possible.....and drawing on my active schedule each weekend for 9 years and absorbing knowledge gathered from reliable sources attending the 'happening' places to have had a good idea of what was 'in'...out'....or brand spanking!!x I do not lay claim to discovering owt or being the first. I do recall being the only one Nationally to spin many of the tunes I listed during the period designated....up North and down sarf....at the major Nighter venues including my own St Ives and the Maltings. I have videos of some of those nights which i've reviewed....and yup.....I played 5 off me list that nobody else played all night! around 1000 folk there and that's it!! What constitutes me being the only 1 or not to spin a tune at a nighter....if i wos????? I made me own crowd up so I din;t pi** off anyone elses....wot more could I do to appease????!!!x Not many during the 90's were doing ALL around the UK....I WAS. It puts a different perspective on life too! What was massive/popular say at the 100 Club.....may have bombed at Blackburn. I was at both to know. I could get away with tunes at Winsford that I couldn't at Blackburn! Bretby and again slightly different emphasis on genre too. Cottons was just a rave and anything went.....!! That';s some of my recollections. The Country does have it's 'divides'. My 'assessment' is based on trawling through the Country throughout the 90's.....to be able to help with your request for tunes 'happening' still...or wotever......which co-incides with my time as a National DJ. I hope it helps mate!x Here's one that I played Nationwide too....and again it wasn't played prolifically on the nighter scene that I heard or could name a DJ that did spin it as part of his 'known' set. I can name all the DJ's who came and asked wtf the night I spun it at various venues. £6 quite proud of it I was!!x Hope you don't mind me rambling on Martyn.....but some of us were there...some comment on who was there....and some were there.....but weren't......not in the way I wos. Punters were all happy.....job done!x @@ ~ LUV SOOTY X ...I look forward to your compilation mate!!x Chalky....X I spot that your collecting flyers from the 90's. I have over 300 from all the venues I DJ'd at Nationwide over them 7 HAPPY years. Amazingly I can recall each night as i look at them. Each DJ featuring and yup.....what I was spinning and what I can say I weren't and leaving it up to those who had em!!! Real happy days as said. It is a shame all didn;t have mine and dare I say 'our' experience during those exciting times. For me....those 'details' do get trifling.....and is all put to rest when last year after 10 years.....a hard core Soulie who was everywhere I was during the 90's.....kindly...firmly and looked straight into my eyes and said....."It's nice to hear your music again Sooty!" When just 1 'hard core' sez that.....and I have to respect her opinion.....then u know wot.......the rest don;t count!!x I will gladly sort the flyers out for you Chalky,.X Mrs Smith...Rob;s Mam....she used to dance with me in the 90's....I insisted!!x Dunno wot went on in them daaaark and diiiinggggy corners.......honest....too busy entertaining and enjoying meself....so soz if I don;t take you all too seriously in this topic........!x EDIT....just spotted this as I had posted the above...and it helps clarify things superbly!x On a Northern FB site...from Liz...."thanks Sooty really enjoyed it havent heard it b4 so i played it twice cheersr calling hope to hear more class 2morro nytnyt sleep ttight " Now....listen to Ian Levine....Chris King and Richard Searling on the Tog doc...their words....they all say in unison there was a NEW SURGE of interest through the 90's. There was...I and many I know were part of it. I also know there were HUNDREDS who came back for the first time since their Wigan/Fleet/Stafford days. Many's kids had become teenagers left Man n Dad with nowt to do....they came to Soul nights. Sean Chapman was part of that renewing new wave. He came to our doo's......he was inspired and went on to become the legend that he is. He was just an excited punter coming back when we met in ;93ish and he had only heard me spin certain tunes i;ve listed back then as he hadn't been 'active' for years!! So...many folk who came to my doo's....knew nowt of the Naitonal scene or perhaps what had gone in the previous 20 years!!! I know they were there....I met them and knew their story's! All around the UK there were lots of new folk....who knew nowt!!! They will say Hopes and dreams is a 'Sooty' tune....it;s been said of late in FB forums....b'cos that;'s their knowledge and association! Just a fact!!!x So....we all have an 'era'....mine was with the mainly new folk piling in around the Nation....and yes....I creamed the best of 30 years of what had gone before......put it together well....entertained...and had it away!!! Wot's the problem with seeing it as just that....cos that is what it was...for me...and many out there!!!x Back to Liz's comment. A Northern Soul/Motown site. I put an obvious and old hat tune in there to thank someone. This person had never heard it in their life....!!! Sooooo....it'll be a Sooty tune for her and others who are saying the same!!!! Not all are into the detail....just for 'the moment'. Amazing I can have it away as 'theeee man' for this........but it happens.....!x ...and I do thank you all for your luuuurve......honest!!x

They are 'detached' these DJ's is my best description. I haven't met one who danced behind the decks with the sincerity and passion that Derek Allen rock his soul...X.....showed. Not one that casually flips a record on that is...just Soul......yet a pop record really. From the heart....as it should be. These are 'traits' I picked up from Northern DJ's. They are 'in touch' with their music....connected. It's a different thing. Same as wedding Discos these days. CD jobs....they haven't got a clue about THAT TUNE. It's dis-jointed......up and down....a mess. Music floooows through u....and goes on the decks. Butch to some was inanimate as such in the 90's. I shared the decks with him many times taking over or leaving it to him. I luv'd his intentness. He had it......simple as. Never seen that on these 'DJs' faces either. Technical wizardry and mixing 'sounds'...........been done at Stonehenge for thousands of years. Easy peasy. Choosing a tune.....irrelevant of all so to speak....and getting folk to dance to it.........is where it's at. I can tell u every sound/instrument of every tune I have across genres. Not the words.....but the sounds. It flows thru me....can't help it. That's why I have never listened to music in me car....since 1980. I can name that tune in 5 notes......it's all gone before!x LJ Johnsons Your Magic Put A Spell on Me at 16 1/2 rpm sound s like an Aboriginal tune i;ve heard from possibly 10,000 years ago.
