Pm'd ya Deb

As a 'scooterist' in my youth, it was listening to scootery type sounds Including Ska Trojan Rocksteady whatever you want to call it, that got me into northern soul. Happy Days when soulies and scooterists could dance on the same dancefloor. Am throwing a charity do in January next year with two rooms, one for soulies and one for 'SCOOTERISTS'. Playing everything from ska, mod, trojan, Manchester anthems, rockabilly, etc in scootery room and 100 per cent northern in t'other room. Djs to include Carl and Maria Willingham, Stu Cheetham, Mike Warburton, Ronnie Hanley and others tba. If soul AND 'scootery' music be your thing look out for our advertising on here soon. If any Djs wish to contribute please pm me and I'll give you full details of event. On from2pm till midnight. regards Deb

Hi Paul. Well said on all above. Can I just point out that you did only arrive 10 mins before your spot, so you probably dont know, but I did manage to get a few dancers up through out my spot. Not many, but a few! Just thought I'd clear that up!! Deb

I would just like to say that all comments about our first nighter have been taken on board. The night was advertised as an across the board night and IMO thats what we did. Its been a big learning curve and hopefully people will come and make their own mind up about us rather than listen to some of the nasty outburts on this forum. I was on first at 8-9pm and the room was filling up nicely. I then spent most of the night asking people their opinions and views on where we can improve. Some of the big nights mentioned on here surely took time to establish and as they say Rome was not built in a day! Just wondering why the comments on our night are not in the lookback section?? Regards Deb thanks to evereyone who came and supported us on Saturday.

hoping to put an alldayer on in jan next year for charity, encompassing all of above in two rooms. in a small town of failsworth (Between oldham and manchester) . reasons for this event is that it will be a dear friends 10th anniversary of his death. He was a scooter / skin and loved northern soul. We will be trying to raise money for two charities. Its all in the planning stages and am constantly checking other events around this area so we dont clash. if we get the dj's we want this event would be right up your street!! regards Deb

i played love you baby -eddie parker and also mary wells - cant you see, billy butler - i'll bet you, capitols - don't say maybe baby, and others and for 45 mins only had one dancer in aroom of 90+ people. so i put on Jimmy robins - i cant please you, still no dancers. tried spellbinders - help me and packed the floor but i then only had 5 mins left of my spot oh happy days....... probably do the same at souldham on sat

I know someone with a copy on vocalion for sale at £40... if that helps.

thats alright then!

Sorry about the going off thread there.......thought i'd try some free advertising

when i first asked on here if anyone had one for sale i wasn't aware that it was expensive. I reckoned it would be around £30 -£50. then someone pointed me to manships auction. I personally would not pay the amount it went for nor did i say i would. Yes i want it but like i say would not pay a huge amount for it. as for being a mess of a record thats your opinion and one i didn't ask for. I simply asked what it went for on manships auction. Oh and its really not nice to call people you don't know 'nutters'.

aw thanks! heres one of jackie wilson i 'm workin on at the mo...aint finished yet tho

Don't suppose you got another copy going for £50 have you? I'll have it ps. and i aint a nutter

Hi Mark! I remember chatting to you about this the other day at yours! As I said I'm new to this buying vinyl lark and when you start off you think to yourself you aint gonna pay over say £20 for a record and then before you know it your paying £50 - £100!!! How easily one could become bankrupt !! I seem to want all the expensive tunes!! Just found out that baby washington tune i wanted went for over £300 .......I need a better job! Or need to learn to paint with both hands ! regards Deb

that was a bit more than i thought it'd go for.......oh well ....i'll get one .. one day

Can anyone tell me what this went for on JM s auction? i missed it!

my copy is on CSP and was £8

Been into northern soul on and off since about 1983 (am 36) . Bought a few tunes along the way. Got more into the scene about 18 months ago and even started doing a bit of djing locally. I dont recall ever going to a soul do and there be any trouble, its always been a friendly scene. I do come across folk who try to tell you what you should be listening to and who pull their faces when certain tunes are played. Surely these 'overplayed' tunes are what got them into northern soul in the first place, and they should remember that just because they might have heard them zillions of times over the years, there will be people like me who havn't tired of them yet as we are newbies to the scene!! I think the scene on the whole is fantastic, even with the chin-strokers and the ones who know best!! and as for no young people getting into the scene, there is a fourteen year old girl who regularly attends soul dos local to me and she even had a go on the decks on an all girl dj night and did a brill job!
