Next up "Its an uphill climb to the oldies room... cant be bad "

First heard this on a Grapevine LP around 1980 .. still gets me even today ..cant afford it though

have they got ebay web Cafes with bootleg guides and stuff .. Us southerners could so with more of your lots records on ebay for cheap !! I'll have a monkey on the North west ..but maybe Rest of the world ....but then again

They will have to que up tee vote at your place Sean on ya 233 mmx with dialup ... i will have the North West to win !!?

Wow the South East is storming ahead ..

yeah but Rod Dearlove and Graeme Ellis have packed it in now !

Stafford did need more people .. Oldies venues attracted more people even back then Morcombe Pier hardly gets a mention now but had 1000 punters quite a few times in the so called wilderness years !!

Mecca for me 4 Funky disco Curtis

Ah ah " One Love" Thorley played that

I just hope the so called newies events do survive !! . be it 60's all the way to Y2k .

Yes very true , but the big overall question is how to bring it all together or just a good % of it . with so many different promoters and dj's pulling in different ways in the North its near impossible Sean Hamspey looks towards just 50-75 capcity venues now .. Ive got no answers sorry

I think music policy is the cause of the splinter effect on the soul scene ( and not just the NS scene) therefore there's more nights . Oldies versus Fresh tunes , R&b versus later 60's , 70's and 80's to Y2k . Vocal house to Deep .. etc etc . Theres been so many genres played at all-niters it had to fragment really ?!

How about this Eddie Parker "Love you baby " cleard it ,and Ted Taylor got it back Venue Copenhagen Backstreet all-niter

Yeah I think Robin mentioned that on here on the Brum thread ..

Ok then, I think its quite good .. maybe even played at Stafford .

Has it got "Warm and gentle explosion" on it ..

I was shocked to see Jan Jones clear the floor at Boogaloo in Greenwich ..

Yes I think your right , but on some occasions when the reasons are combined. ( As when myself and Ray Phillips started to promote and and Dj at Modern Soul gigs in the south east late 1983 ) It's a very good idea ! However if you want to DJ with a load of old tunes , in an area that has a couple of other events you need to at least communicate with the other events promoters about dates !? or maybe just forget it ?

Dont forget these ,( spun by brilliant young DJ's of their time namely Adam and Robin ) Sky "Show me the way" Leroy Burgess" Heartbreaker"

There is maybe another reason Davie .. If you want to start Djaying !?

Refosoul , both tracks are in there .

you might be able to get their other side - keep away on Red coach , a good track too

Yep me too Jock , Guy wasn't it .. You ready for Lifeline , what tunes you got lined up ?

Ive seen this on recent Soul bowl lists !
