Bang on mate instead we get a picture of a bootleg of Frank Wilson it saddens me Steve but does not surprise me !

Just watched it nothing new really good list Karl I was at the end of an era night but can remember feeling cheated when other nights followed ! The place should of had one last night end of and then we all should of moved on ! The thing that often saddens me the most when I look back is not only the romantic view of the dancers that was a very small part of it in my experience but also you rarely get a view on how much the music really meant to the punters that visited weekly ? For every 3 before eight there was a George Kirby Moses Dillard Billy Hambric etc but still Frank Wilson etc etc ! Such a good time for many had been sanitised mis represented and twisted to gringe worthy proportions for the benefit of the few and that is not what the place represented !

The U.K. Northern Soul Scene is in its last throws in respect of what the scene should be ie Nighter Led . Age and saturation have screwed it along with the numerous host of so called Coll’s tor’s who lack taste and innovation buying over the hill records for daft money because most don’t know otherwise ? Also the current nighter scene use the same DJs regularly and that to me as a paying punter is a huge turn off . I would rather do a local soul night that features Collectors playing interesting records that’s what I do these days . If young people are visiting venues on mass I have not seen them saying that I understand good scenes exist in other countries with a younger crowd and that’s great ! I love the fact that the scene has had longevity but hand on heart wide trousers shit playlists promoters using the same DJs and Johnny come latelys have killed it for me . It does not surprise me that some of the real big names of the scene from when it was exciting rarely bother now in many respects it’s an absolute embarrassment!

I did chuckle when I read this because the same has been done with other scenes ie Punk Rock and Roll etc both of which have the durability of the northern scene . Every thing about the scene is subjective anyway and a very strong argument could be formulated re the cultural significance “ although I do understand that a fish shop in Grimsby has just just opened called Northern Sole “. Lol . This is supported by mugs a northern soul vibrator with Donald Trump wearing baggies and lovey fashion parade outside a certain shopping centre which culminated in many Greg’s pasties been eaten ! Sadly most of the hardcore people that really should of been talked to re the research have sadly passed now and the scene has become a total sanitised charade with the last commercial drop been rung out of it ! Saying that I like the idea of a pool party but it’s minus 4 in the north east today 😂.

Great set !

I’d say the last 6 to 8 years this has happened more and more particularly on Facebook where every man / women and dog played discovered and then sold it for £££££££ is rife ! This is definitely the new Information Age and happens a lot to records that we’re first broke on the more upfront scene a word I’m reluctant to use anymore as it’s definitely imho “lost its clout”. It’s similar practice to the gate crashing of advertising on other sites which is always disrespectful. The only plus you can take from this scenario is been at the events to validate records been broke and this in the past was easy because it was mainly venue led ie casino Stafford etc . Putting DJs names to discoveries is part of the fabric of the scene and part of the magic imho and why not challenge it, the slog put in to turning up the discoveries justifies it !

Ah thanks for that !
