Nail On Head

You definitely must try harder

For polite read patronising, not in an occupation that needs either a polite or patronisating approach, never have been, but apology accepted and no offence taken, we differ in opinions on this topic and that's cool, it's what it's all about, opinions Pete BTW i'm not your mate either

Recently heard a dj (won't say where or who) who opened their set with ' thanks to 'whoever' for the last hour you now have me for a hour of back to back vinyl' what's all that about?

Whats with the Peter when anyone slightly disagrees with me Matthew? All i'm saying theres soul nights that as far as they can (same as nighters) pride thereselves on OVO, without feeling the need to use it as an advertising tool, PETE

Very good but please do point me in the direction of the word ONLY, not saying for one second this isn't the case, just pointing out that we can all be pedantic and find the odd ad that does promote OVO, If a venue plays one original 45 they can then advertise 'plays original vinyl'

Really can't grasp this surefire way of determining OVO/CRAP , what you are saying Matt if a venue plays untill 6 AM as opposed to 2 AM we must automatically assume the event that plays a few hours longer is OVO and the other event is CRAP? Irrespective of flyers, events here on SS is a great way of getting a venue advertised, and i may be wrong but i (personally) never seen any soul night plug OVO ,

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,
