  1. Full arc of a rainbow caught from the balcony.
  2. Thanks for that, Ed. Glad you enjoyed it. We're getting a nice line-up in place for next year... Marc Forrest visiting in April. The Willinghams in June, and John Manship next September. Dates and stuff on our website: https://www.northernsoulamsterdam.nl - and if you need any info about visiting at any time, just give me a shout on here or on Facebook.
  3. First mix for absolutely ages. Forty one minutes of classic, underplayed and unreleased soul. As an added bonus there are also a couple of 70s Blaxploitation radio ads in there and an anti-drugs public service announcement from Curtis Mayfield.
  4. I think some of the younger people on the scene are in part responsible for the rise in prices. Over the last year or two I've seen many instances on Facebook rare vinyl valuation pages where younger folk have "bigged up" prices for 45s when people have enquired about the value. Undoubtedly these are 45s they themselves own, possibly originally from "dad's" collection, and for which they've not actually had to fork out serious readies.
  5. Sunday cycle ride through the Amsterdam woods...
  6. Marvellous fungi to be seen in the Amsterdam woods at the moment.
  7. Seen on an afternoon cycle ride to one of our favourite spots in the Amsterdam woods - the Boerderij Meerzicht (English = Lake view farm, or better known to us as the pancake house. ).
  8. If the Bazza you're talking about is the one I think it is, he's still over here and lives just a couple of miles away from me. He's always to be seen out on the floor at soul nights here.
  9. Autumn is most definitely here!
  10. Musk beatle (so I've been told). Amazing colours and a stunning metallic sheen. Almost looks as if it could be artificial!
  11. Thanks, Mike. For anyone interested, my thinking is that European soul events have quite a low profile on Soul Source - yet there are plenty of them on the continent. So the club is a place for members who are going, or are interesting in going, to these events, whether they be soul nights or full-blown weekenders. At the same time, people involved in running European events can let members know what they have planned and what visitors can expect. The more info shared, the more useful it'll be to everyone.
  12. UK Live version... French release studio version...
  13. You're welcome. It was definitely worth sharing. Absolutely true, there are many stunning photos on here. Maybe we should have a little competition...
  14. Third option for me - no preference over either. Both are great.
  15. The BBC News website has a line-up of winning entries from the Bird Photographer of the Year Award. All great pics, but some are especially stunning and most certainly worth a look... http://www.bbc.com/news/in-pictures-41161968
  16. Can't say I like that Virginia Vee track so much, but I do like this popcorn/R&B one of hers, which is also a French release...
  17. One sold for $705 on eBay this evening...
  18. Absolutely true, which is always great to see. Make sure to come up and say hello next Saturday, won't you?
  19. As far as Amsterdam is concerned, the average age of the crowd rises in direct correlation to the number of Brits in attendance. The rest of the mainland is pretty much the same based on my experiences.
