We won't need a map Can you play The Snake? We don't need to get there early; it's not as if we will be locked out Got a right barging on this; it's the original label as well! Are you sure you want to come love? You'll not stay awake I will stay awake, I wont spoil it for you Northernsoul is dead This venue will last forever! There are loads of tickets left "The dancefloor is like woman to me, u got to find the best spots, and once u find it stay there" Billy Whiz 2009 Any others?

Jocko I do remember you mate at most of the venues dancing to this...............

I watched Sky News the other day and saw how that current affairs program, that masquerades as news, zoom in on a quote and hook the whole story around a throw away comment. Baroness Vadera was asked on ITV's Lunchtime News when she believed the UK could expect to see "green shoots", she was then villainised and every thing else she said was disregarded. When Ian said "Northernsoul was dead" he was echoing what was happening throughout the length and breadth of our glorious nation, a comment that has haunted him because its "fashionable" to bandwagon and join in slating him, the scene was never supposed to be about fashion! It prided itself on not following like sheep. It really makes my blood boil when I hear people slated some one that most have never met and few have got to know. Ady is the only true champion of our scene and the only one who in my opinion can stand the Pepsi challenge. The eighties was very dry indeed, yes there where venues and Stafford, Cleathorpse, Bradford and The 100 Club gave the Nouveau Soulies what they wanted but the scene as it was did die, there weren't many of the old guard left. Tracks like "Born to Be Alive" carried the scene over some difficult times. I chuckle each time I see a new "cheque book Charlie" collector or DJ offer an opinion about Ian Levine as if rubbishing him gives them some modicum of credibility. I remember bumping into keb Darge at Camden Market and talking to him about Northernsoul, he said that it was very dead and didn't want to know; a few years later I am interviewing him for Manifesto! I did mention the Levine must go T Shirts. Any way that's my rant and rave over with today, I will finish off with a short clip that encapsulates what I want to say, I didn't make the clip and you will need to substitute the names but it conveys my sentiment.........

KNOCK ON WOOD "Ami Stewart" How many "Soulies" danced to this a la Wigan Casino Stomp style? I did, used to blow the Trev Oiltas off the dance floor when I busted my sweet moves to this! Ami Stewart was top totty!! ">

Terry Callier - I Don't Want To See Myself Longest fookin intro ever!!!!!!!!!!! I once heard this start at Cleethorpes, drove home to collect a forgotten item and made it back in time to dance to it! I live near Barnsley!

Curtis - How Can I Tell Her

Let's just say that if I lived not too far from say London or Manchester and that Let's just say that our lass wouldn't cut my balls off and Let's say that it's a top venue, 1,500 capacity, with all the right facilities then Let's also say that I may go, Let's just say. Hasn't this been tried? Didn't Edwin Starr have some thing to do with a venue called The Casino 2 or some thing? I'll be honest and say that I kick the ring outta going to nighters because I know that I am getting older and one day in the future I will be unable too due to age. I can't see a weekly nighter ever getting the northern crowd weekly in massive numbers like the Casino coz we aint got it in us any more, the spirit is willing but the flesh is week.

2009 looks gloomy as a well gloomy thing! I am determined to do my thing without it becoming a financial drama so tips n good to know stuff on here peeps...... Car sharing makes complete sense, I know there is a thread dedicated on here but the best thing to do is find out who's who n who's traveling near you. Taking your own pop or drinks in is a bit naughty but I am not a big drinker but I will smuggle in the odd pop bottle as and when I can. It's not unknown for the Waffen Door staff to be a bit over zealous on this subject so leave the pop in the car and visit it through out the night. What are your tips??
