I believe Darren on here has loads of old flyers too. Essential memory aids these days for the kids of the 80's .. ( Robin aside, he can remember almost everything . dont play name the coverup with him !! . ).

Dear me Mark , amazing that youve still got that

I remember that .. early 1985 I think .. James Govan was a big sound and was being played on the Pirates and at nighters ( late 1984)

I'm not one for tradition ...send one to Simon T ,and he can upgrade please ..

Dam I want one , but dont have tape anymore .. Mp3 download Andy ?

Is he back on the scene then ... I

What year is this vid from Pete ?

1983 to 87 I'd say he was the main man for playing Modern Obscurities first! Not sure about breaking em ? . Dave Raitricks Rock City Notts niter , was phenomanel , with a a huge turn over of sounds too many some say ( and some Sam still plays now ) . Robin S may have a list . ... Hardcore soulies at that small doo . Robin , Adey ( from derby) Nigel Parker , Simon T, Ray Phillips , Duncan !! . Ronnie Barnes "You got me " Hughes always sticks out for me though!! I'd like to hear the other side , meant to be just as good ? Rock on, Martin LOL Simon Murray

I have tapes( early 80's) from a bloke who lived near the river Dee , saying Modern Soul Snaith/Locrano sounds Simon

Just give yaself two hours Gasher , ...One hour is just not enough , unless you just play 60's

Dave Thorley to come back as a promoter , and somehow blend all the diversity of the scene , and showcase its Global appeal .. A tough call !! Simon

Beat match , next hey ? ...Some of them mecca tunes are quite easy to mix ..

Very true, Robin the Modern Soul scene was certainly born at the beginning of the 80's (embryonic at the Mecca maybe ) The camaraderie was second to none!!

The bloke selling the Teas chips n gravy did very well too

Good old Pete Lawson . Dont show Soul Sam ! Cheers Simon

Good one Pete !! Keb was a nice bloke then ...

Im sure I heard it on the telly .. or was I dreaming

Tweak away Henry Rhodes " Hold On " -4 New Way " Holding On " +2

Whats it like then .soundfile please dave ?

It seems the word modern has always been a poor differentiation .As for the NS origin I first heard the term from John Anderson , early 80's. also he and Saint coined the term Indie soul around 83 I think ? . Record dealers and media types thrive on descriptive terms . 60's newies I think that was Keb and Guy and maybe Saint too ? Simon

Just Noticed ..Mark Houghton has ben playing it .. New Chapter Jam Bar Aug2nd here I come

Quite a few 6Ts slowies too ..( At Stafford)

Paul Phillips played this on his Solar radio show ages ago.. Got some tunes that lad
