Bazza

If you dont dance,then I can see them being boring,but for a dancer..the Vocals are not that important,.the backing track is where you get your moves from. Bazza

Too flippin old for the stompers these days Bazza

Flip it , the other side is a great underplayed track.."heart your made of stone" brilliant tune Lady in green is tripe Bazza The_Magnetics___Heart__You_re_Made_Of_Stone.MP3

Yep ,classic Bazza

Hi Steve..I wish..but she would kill me....would have liked to have been there.keep them tunes warm..ill deffo see you next time Bazza

Hi Dave ..talking of modern..its my Daughters wedding on Saturday , so no doubt ill be dancing to aggadoo piano man and loads of Black Lace "standards".......I feel ill allready Bazza

Pete your a 60's only old buffer...dont know a good tune when you hear it Teddy pendergrass - Do Me not heard but crap ay???? Bazza

Now then, Dave I never mentioned the word Disco,and im not having a pop at the modern stuff...I dont have blinkers on as far as northern is concerned,I like a some "modern" tunes I Like R&B aswell , infact the tunes below always go down well at the venues I attend, I expect these days, to hear upto 15% or so modern at Venues ..they are still northern do's as far as im concerned DJ genisis - tribute to betty Teddy pendergrass - Do Me Kenny thomas - Crazy World Sidney Barnes - standing on solid Ground Will Collins & Will Power - Anything I Can Do Prince Phillip Mitchell - I'm So Happy Harold Melvin - Prayin all "modern"( IMHO ) tunes ....I like em Bazza

IMHO.every thing from the early 70's to present day is "Modern" and will always be,because the late 50's to early 70's had a gritty rawness,the 70's onward tunes have a "modern" highly polished over produced sound..the term "modern" has I think more to do with the production of the tune, not so much the age of the tune..but you know this ,so why you asking but a tune such as "Falcons - love look in her eyes" is an odd one ,cos it was produced I think in 1967 but not released till 1971 it is of course a oldie northern tune Bazza

Erm, yeah but no but..now your splitting hairs..... Bazza

I got to admit ,I must be missing something with this tune ,I find it a very average modern type tune....never could understand how it got to be so big ....and very very overplayed it will never be northern ..will always be modern if I live another 20 year it will still be modern then Bazza

Why isn't The Carstairs a northern record?..because it is an over produced 70's tune ..easy. same goes for "Harold melvin - Prayin" I am easy to please though..I like 60's and R&B with a bit of modern ,so I am happy to go to most venues( apart from all modern type do's) BTW I was mostly a cleethorpes pier lad Bazza

awwwwwwww Jo.....shhhhhh..supposed to be a secret..now you've done it Bazza

Carstairs is modern int it not very good either Bazza

John Travolta...never go anywhere with out me white suit.cos ya just never know when it could come in handy.....well at some venues oh,and I ..agree with everthing you said Bazza

Nah...girls can't Dance Bazza

Is that good or bad Bazza

Late 40's to early 60's R&B....love it Bazza

Hurt - the Victors....new to me ..was on the "Fez 2 year aniversary CD"...(thanks Dennis) great tune..what do you think ? Bazza

whats the tune ,,captain of my ship..dont fink I know it (thank god) typical wigan tripe,they did play some utter rubbish Bazza

yes I agree, why is it though when ever you see a clip about n/soul it usually only shows folks doing the gymnastics,when in reality this was only a small part of it,I used to consider my self a good dancer ..I never ever did the gymnastics,i always thought they did it to grab a bit of the limelight ,was around the first time from about 1971 to about 74 ish Bazza

Hi Sharon..think it was a friday or saturday ..I won the comp.I used to love it there.won a bottle of champers and a free ticket for life ...but they changed owners and would'nt recognize me ticket for life :angry: could have been 1972 not sure,dont think they had a "northern night" in 72 Barry

Also went out wth a girl called Diane (Burford) maiden name, married a chap from longeaton,love to know if they are ok Bazza

any one used to go the Nottingham Intercon, around 1973..if you did you must have seen me, first on the floor's, last off..Danced allnight..infact won a dancing competition think it was 1973..great days Bazza

He Was " The Man" I went to see him a couple of times at Nottm Palais..big regret was he was on in Chesterfield couple of month before he passed on..and I forgot.. Bazza.
