Dazed - Northern soul scenes are thriving despite the...
It may sound callous, but for the sake of the scene and going forwards 2 room venues 1 on the ground floor, accessible to all , and 1 on the 2nd floor only accessible for those who can get up there without assistance, and djs rotating , if they can get up there too . How else are our loved ones going to offload our collections , when we've all passed if there isn't a demand ? . Great to see young folk enjoying the music , and not being fed the shite we had to endure circa 75/76 at the WC , I pray that the London Philharmonic don't open up with " Lost Summer Love " ( maybe a little later) but you get my meaning . Good morning,( rant over ) everyone .

Northern Soul At The BBC Proms 2023
If they follow what was played early days before the commercial side of things at the Casino , be nice to hear "Exus Trek" or " Breakaway " even "You Didn't Say A Word " but some how I doubt it . Maybe we should contact the director with a listeners top 10 requests .

These academics will always go on about the political side of things , but to be honest for most of us it was following your peers , and walking off the dance floor at the local youth clubs when the Bay City Rollers or Gary Glitter was played , didn't give a shit about politics not at the age of 15 , back in 1972 .

Tim Fletcher R.I.P
Very sad news , we had some great times travelling around and about to most of the venues from 88 to 2004 , did many a soul night / alldayer in Coventry , Hope & Anchor , Hare & Squirrel,TicToc, Bug & Black Bat , Tha General Wolf , and many more , when I gave up the DJing I gave him the Twin decks we used to use, which I'd bought off a mate of his Howard , (Tim didn't have the cash when Howard was selling up) I hope he pissed his neighbours off using them up on the seventh floor of Samuel Vale House , because I know they pissed him off ! Rip mate , sleep well

People who can't resist from being sarcastic
The Lowest Form Of Wit , by Leonard Rossiter a very good read circa 1981 , who played Rigsby in the comedy classic Rising Damp , also I believe wrote speeches for the Prime Minister Harold Wilson , when he was in Parliament . Sarcasm does have its humorous uses , worth a read .

Video: Sally Molloy Northern Soul Dance tribute to Little Ann
If the video was intended to promote Kent's , Little Ann LP with the above track included , it had the desired affect on me , great way to promote your own product , and Sally good dancer too . By the way check out ace/ Kent website if you want a copy at a very affordable price.

Not sure if mentioned on here before , but on the BBC iPlayer saw Clint Eastwood's " The Mule " , story about the oldest drug Mule in America , the other night , with " More Today Than Yesterday" in the soundtrack , would recommend it if you haven't seen it already .

The soul scene
I remember back in the early 80s , playing cards in the back room at the Carlton in Hinckley, with Woody , Tommo, Martin & a few others and someone brought up the subject of what will be still be doing in our 60s , and the answer was sitting on our arses listening to Rare Soul music between the Bingo sessions, the dance floor at the time in the other room wasn't full by any means , so sitting chatting and having a good time has been a feature for years in good company.
