as a venue full of atmosphere the Torch could give Station Rd a lesson or two, as for a venue that before The Casino opend was making a valued contribution musically to the UK's underground soul scene it has to be the Mecca, indeed when the Casino went down the road off 100mph whatever the artist etc the Mecca seized upon the wonderful material that was coming out of Chicago and Detroit and to a lessor degree New York circa 1974. With regard to one venue that changed 1000's of lives, Wigan no contest.

'strip search Mr D?; "f*** off Mr Bullock, I'll take my shirt and socks off, if you want more arrest me and make sure you got a Dr the other end when we turn up at Bridge Street" "ok PD put your shirt and socks back on, between you and me we may have fuckked up big time tonight"

I don't think there is a divsion more like two completely different scenes. In one corner you have those that are part of the northern soul scene and all its trimming ie bar towels where the what comes out of the bins is important but as long as the know the words and when to clap and spin they;re happy and then you have those who are fanatical about the music, the artists, the collecting, the labels and posting at 7-49am in the morning...lol. Each to their own and fair play to all of ya.

He's as arrogant as they come however there is no denying as a songwriter/producer Levine is very talented.

removed by Paul Donnelly Thanks Dougie Hall.

My keymen recording is possibly the loudest vinyl piece I have..and I have, great Torch record.

Butch is ok imho, he's only ignored 49 emails/fax's/text messages regarding doing dkof, after 200 I'll get the message Butch give me a call please, you owe me one

The Carousel room 1971 Peterborough...Tuesday nights, always packed.

apart from the national big venues all of the soul nights across the uk are 'oldies orientated' most of the stuff we play at the DKOF has been played one place or another. My take on it is, if you know all the words it shouldn;t be getting plays..
