Playing devils advocate here, but i have never seen a soul night advertised as OVO, so should we presume all soul nights are C.R.A.P? Which makes it not that simple, there are soul nights that are OVO that don't feel the need to advertise as such,

If every DJ adds to the list it will be a longer thread than Mr Levines

Good thread in theory, but, Who is gonna post 'we are a C.R.A.P venue? Secondly if a promoter falsely posts 'we are an OVO venue' who is gonna question it? Pete Eccles

Drizabone had early 90's chart success with the couple(pressure, real love) that were played in the northern rooms a few years later, and i'm pretty sure they came via the modern room,

Is there not a 'T' mising from the start of your name?

I did say same/similar Ian, just not heard it for a while,

Ian, Is that the one where the backing/intro is same/similar to Johnny Wyatt - this thing called love? (talk of the grapevine) Have that somewhere signed by JJ , Pete Eccles

Valid points Paul, Russ Abbott maybe?

I have no idea who Mr Moonshine might be, but Paul with respect, if you don't know for definite who it is either, how may i ask do you know for definite who it isn't? Just askin Pete Eccles

We all love American music, but 'sucks' and 'dude' Cmon please?

Nice one Russ but i think the mention of my name (more than once) made it kinda personal No offence taken Peter

Russell, i'm not being defensive, i have nothing to defend, and i don't really care what brush i get tarred with, i don't really care what you or anyone else thinks of me, what i do care about is that i am allowed to carry on doing what i enjoy, and everyone else can do their thing too, I havn't got time Russell to worry about observers from the outside world, i'm to busy getting on with making the most of the time i have, my social life is for pleasure, i'm not going to spend any of it fretting about things that can't be changed, ive been around a while (not that it matters) and i will be around for the duration, in the meantime i intend having a jolly good time, Peter

Well leave em to it, as long as you know best nothing else should matter

Oh dear, very bitter, have you ever stopped to think that those you so bitterly criticise don't give a flyin fukc how you feel? So is it not better to enjoy what you enjoy? leave whoever to get on with it, theres no medals for service to be awarded, just a very short life to make the most of, Look where you're going not where you have been, theres no pecking order for history, Chill Trev, you can't change what folk enjoy, and why should you? Just do your thing and let everyone else do theirs

Well if i told an 'outsider' i am into 'northern soul' or 'rare soul' or 'soul' and they instantly connected it to 'Wigans Ovation' or the northern soul dance or whatever else they percieve it to be, i could either be embarrassed, annoyed, irritated by their perception, or i could just smile agree with their ill informed ideas and just get on with living whats left of my life and let them get on with theirs, its too short to be harbouring lots of bitterness, and i always ask myself the same question, in the scheme of things 'does it really matter,? and i always come up with the same answer - not a jot!

Yellow card one more and you're off

Mines a Magners at the next Prestwich, i'll be the one on stage playing whatever the people who have paid for a night out would like to dance to

Sarah, i wouldn't worry too much about the new members, most of em will be coming here to 'change the world' and tell anyone that disagrees how misguided they are,

So we shouldn't post unless we are disagreeing with something? i'm quite new to forum protocol but i am aware it's about differing opinions, but it being compulsory? I have my preferences, musically, venues etc, but i just don't see the point in telling others their preferences (if different to mine) are wrong, and they should seek help to have the smile on their face on hearing Ruby Andrews removed, But now i know the rules of the forum i will steer clear until i strongly disagree with someone, Pete Eccles

Matt, believe me if i had meant anyone in particular i would have replied directly to their post, I was just expressing a general observation, as much out there as on here, on peoples passion to convert the world to their way of thinking, Hope that clears things up Matt, As for the most successful 'oldies' night, that's another story, but not getting into that one, Pete Eccles

Just noticed Brian, but probably better put by you, Amounts to the same really, baffles me why if somebodies way is the right way why do they spend so much time preachin when they could be enjoyin their way? Be knockin doors next spreading the word, Pete

I will never understand why some on the scene seem to spend more time harping on about why people shouldn't be enjoying what they enjoy than they do getting on with what floats their boat, whichever side of the fence they are, Lifes too short, just enjoy whatever it is you enjoy, and let the rest get on with it, live and let live, Everybody has their own take on how it should be, it's pointless getting bitter and twisted coz everybody doesn't agree with your ideal world, coz they never will, If a thousand peeps turn up at a shopping centre it just maybe because they want to, those that don't want to attend (me for one) can always get on with something else, and leave em to it, Just a thought, Pete Eccles

Gotta get that Magners cash back somehow, ay Russ?

What label is Chinese whispers on? not sure i know it

Not sticking up for anybody here, i wasn't there on the night in question regarding this thread, just saying its not a one size fits all belief, and yes my son did do the 'right' thing, but if he had chose the other option i don't think it would have been the 'wrong' thing to do either, Have to say though its a long time since the initial post on here and wasn't aware of any 'bragging' Finally i would much rather be bullied by the odd email than be physically abused in public, i would like to think i could ignore a heated email, and if not or if it continued look at doing something about it, but in the real world Dave decisions have to be made instantly, rightly or wrongly,
