DEFINETLY AGREE ON ALL POINTS MENTIONED ,THE SITE EMBRACES A WORLD VIEW OF SOUL MUSIC WITH MEMBERS FROM EUROPE,USA ETC,THE KNOWLEDGE IS STAGGERING ,TAKE THE MEDIA SECTION,POSTED CROSSOVER FRIDAY LAST NIGHT AND IMMEDIATLY THE QUALITY FROM THE POSTERS WAS BLOOMING AMAZING. KEEP IT UP MIKE AND EVERYONE THAT MAKES THIS A GREAT SITE AND NO 1. BAZ A

TO ME SOUL MUSIC IS A WAY OF LIFE HAS BEEN SINCE I WAS 12 YEARS OF AGE.THE NORTHERN SCENE HAS SHAPED THE WAY I HAVE VIEWED THE MUSIC ID SAY UP TO THE AGE OF ABOUT 38-39 THEN IVE JUST SAID F--K IT CANT BE ARSED WITH ALL THIS EGO FUELLED BOLLOCKS ANYMORE,IT JUST DOES NOT RESEMBLE HOW I FEEL. IF I AM ASKED TO DJ I WILL NOW AND AGAIN[FOR LIKEMINDED PEOPLE] ,HOWEVER MY OBSESSION IS PERSONNEL OBSESSION A RELATIONSHIP I HAVE WITH THE MUSIC.THE NORTHERN SCENE USED TO BE THE DO ALL AND END ALL FOR ME NOW IT IS COLLECTING DEEP,SWEET,CROSSOVER AND THE ODD OCCASIONAL NORTHERN THING NOT A SCENE THAT PRIDES ITSELF ON RARITY AS OPPOSED TO QUALITY. IM LOOKING FORWARD TO THE US IN 2 WEEKS BECAUSE ITS ALOT MORE STRAIGHTFORWARD OUT THERE PEOPLE THAT LOVE THE MUSIC FOR WHAT IT IS.I FEEL FORTUNATE TO IMHO BEEN PART OF THE SCENE FROM THE YEARS 1979 TO 1992 IM MY VIEW THE BEST YEARS,IN THIS TIME GREAT FUN IT WAS A SCENE THEN,NOW ITS SIMPLY IN OVERLOAD AND TO BE HONEST I CANT BE HAVING IT.
