  5. yea fair comment carty and leicester boy,i do get that and agree, i guess i'm going way back to when events were called a soul nite, o a rare soul night,so lot more scope to bung things in,though what was called rare then omg

    bobbie smith "walk on into my heart" vg on black american arts. jo ann garrett "whole new plan" vg+ on chess demo-label slight damage. the laniers "more than ever now" vg, on river city records. epitome of sound "you don't love me",vg on red print and white sandbag
  8. shall we all just kill my post,obviously it's not working/worth the agro
  9. ok so glad i mentioned this-not
  10. the scene is in dire need of new blood,sure they'll be d-ckheads [ plenty of us had an attitude as youngsters] but at this rate the soul scene will be over in 10 years max if we don't change our ways,now wait for the moaners to jump in and slag me off!! as an example the rivioli soul nights have lots of under 25s and quite a few can dance,also the venue is packed,so they must be doing something right.
  11. so it must have been a london thing is what i'm getting? i first heard it way before the 100 club started in 78 or 79? there was a fair few original mods & suede heads about- so i guess it was an early days rare soul thing? i see no reason not to bring it back,obviously the tunes must be soufull and just a couple at the end,not a big deal,just breaking things up a bit,trying to make it interesting,,looks like i'm on my own,not the first or last time ,i travel alone gladly,ps i've heard loads of mega crap soul played at big venues,so wtf?
  12. bang on mate,the uniform is old hat,and sad imo

    back in the seventies around london,from time to time reggae tunes got played at the end of the nights,was this a london thing? the tunes allways went down well and it seemed a pity when it got droped as it was a fun knees up end to the nights,ps it was old reggae tunes

    although some take the scene a bit seriously ,i do enjoy a dj that has a sense of humour,names that spring to mind-kev such,geoff ware " it's hoter today than a crack heads spoon on giro day" and tim browns set years ago at prestatyn when he intoduced each tune as an animal-burt and the badgers, gary and the goats,tim did tell me later he was pissed at the time ,but our lot had a good laugh and thoroughly enjoyed his set,and we need a laugh these days,don't we ? oh it seems we don't,our scene must be serious only,no wonder it's dying
  15. really no one have an opinion? guess were back to playing mouldy oldies and watching the scene decline,looks like i might have to promote my own direction,thing is i don't tolerate divs and top 500 muppets and the "never heard this before -don't like it" closed minds,sometimes i feel we forget every tune we know was new to us once and yes they were all intended to be "pop" records by the artist, ie sell loads with a few vanity projects of course ie-frank wilson,teddy randazzo,god bless all that still live in 1973 not
