Is anyone watching Into The Congo with Ben Fogle? It's on Sunday nights on Channel 5 - I always find his programmes interesting & worth watching. He seems like one of life's nice guys! 🙂
I'll have to look that one up - sounds interesting! Thank you 👍 Just watched it - I've always known that the Chinese government were extremely controlling, but this is another level! Scary stuff - it's like 1984 on speed! 😮
Is anyone watching Too Good To Be True on Channel 5? It's a 4-part drama - last episode tonight. Much better than I expected it to be!👍
I remember green & clears very well - my favourite sweets for a niter back in the day lol 👀😉
Just started watching series 2 of Kin 🔥🔥🔥!
Has anyone been watching Breathtaking on ITV? It's a 3-part series (final episode tonight at 9pm) about the front-line health staff during the pandemic - well worth watching! It's a reminder of the difficult time the NHS staff had & the sacrifices they all made. I salute every single one of them.
Me too, but this lad was keen to go with his parents so I'm not knocking him for it! His parents are both into the soul scene so he'd grown up with it all - it was his choice. I think they gave him the confidence to come whereas he might not have on his own. I thought it was good to see them out together - happy in each other's company & all having a good time. Would never have happened when I was young. My parents didn't often ask me where I was going - if they did I would have lied through my teeth! If they'd known the truth I would have had the crap beaten out of me & then grounded FOREVER!!
I would just like to share a little something that made my night on Friday. I was at my usual soul night when a young lad came in with his parents. His Mum later told me that he'd been hassling them for years to let him go to a soul night, but his parents had told him he would have to wait until he was 18. Friday was his 18th birthday & where did he choose to celebrate it? You guessed it - with us at our soul do. What a nice lad he was too - thoroughly enjoyed himself - he danced & danced & danced - he never left the dance floor! They were among the last to leave, so we had chance for a quick chat with him & his parents - lovely people & really nice lad. Such a refreshing change to some of the cocky, arrogant younger people that I keep hearing about on the soul scene recently - we could do with a few more like him! Just thought I'd share that with you - not all the young ones on the soul scene are so full of themselves - just a few that give the rest of the younger ones a bad name.
Hi all - Kath here with a bit of feedback on last night. It was really good to see some new faces - also great to see some old friends that I'd not seen for quite some time.❤️ All the DJS played cracking sets & kept the dance floor busy all night - well done Steve, Stuart & Carl - thanks & well done too to our guest DJ Dennis Convery. You nailed it guys! I think the icing on the cake was when a young lad came in with his parents. His Mum told me later that he'd been hassling them for a long time to go to a soul night, but they'd told him he would have to wait until he was 18. Yesterday was his 18th birthday, so where did he choose to celebrate it? You guessed it! That lad never left the dance floor all night - obviously been doing a bit of dancing on the carpet at home too cos he could really dance. He & his parents were among the last to leave so I had chance for a quick word - he had a big grin on his face & said he'd had a great night. Made my night!❤️👍🙂 Thanks to all who came to support us last night - as always it's very much appreciated - let's do it all again next month when our guest DJ will be none other than Don Morris (Mopsey) Bring it on!!
Many happy returns Peter
It's a guess but thought it might be The Chi Lites?
Sorry didn't notice how old it is - just found it recently. Next time I'll know to check
Just watched episode 1 of "What Remains" on BBC iplayer. Decent 4-part drama with an excellent cast. 👍
Just watched The Monuments Men with George Clooney & Matt Damon. (On BBC2 last night but I found it on the iplayer). It's about all the artefacts looted by the Nazis during WW2 & the Allied efforts to recover them. You might find it a bit slow to start with but stick with it - it's a good film - very interesting & well worth watching. 👍
I wouldn't really want to see a whole floor full of couples dancing together at a soul night - that's not what it's all about - but on some occasions it's nice to see. I know of at least one couple - regulars at soul events in my local area for many years - where one has been ill & no longer has the balance that they used to have. Does that mean they should stay off the dance floor? Like hell it does! It's really good to see them both enjoying a night out & a bit of a dance, even if it does mean that one needs a tad of support from the other. Much love & respect to them both. 👍
Bit of an update on the Ritz......I went past it this afternoon - the place was all taped off & surrounded by police vans! My thoughts were later confirmed by a report in the local evening paper........somebody has been using the building to grow something they shouldn't have been growing......... I'm surprised the place is still standing - the way the owner was talking last year, it sounded as though the bulldozers would be moving in the following week! So sad to see what was once such a cracking venue come to this 😢
Ditto 😢😢
Well - what can I say? As always, everyone seemed to have a good night - I heard lots of great feedback from around the room "nice atmosphere..."....."cracking little venue"......"music was spot on" The one fly in the ointment was that the room was a bit on the cool side - we had to ask the manager to turn up the heating! Apart from that - it was a great night with most of the usual friendly regulars there to support us. It was nice to welcome a few new faces too! Big shout out to all the DJs - Soul Brew's Marc, Stuart & Steve - plus guest DJ Ian Smith - you absolutely smashed it guys! Well done - all played on original vinyl. 👍 Thanks too to all those who braved the cold night to support us - thanks for joining us & thank for dancing. Let's do it all again next month when our guest DJ will be Denis Convery (Outwood soul club).
Just seen the news - very sad. RIP Marlena & thank you for the music.
Well said Paul - you've put all my rambling thoughts into a very succinct nutshell. Thank you! 👍👍
