Guest johnny hart Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 What a happy egg ,Jim, advertisers pay from £5,000 to a million for successful music promo clips. Nice too know some money will filter back to publishers ,record companies and artists/beneficiaries involved. LOL ,Johnny ,Espana. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Daved Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I know what Jim means. It’s a bit cheesy to say the least. It may not be a flattering reflection of the NS scene but it’s arguably an accurate one in 2016. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest themroc Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 My music is more than a jingle jangle of notes. My music is emotion and love. Not sum opportunity for sum yuppie stylist to sell me airtime. If you use music without regard for context then your a culture vulture. Delmonte adverts with Strange Fruit playing tastefully in the background . Bob Marley selling Persil. Music is not a fashion statement. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 It's music...nobody is in a position to say who can or can't listen to it. I doubt the Frank Wilson influence will have people rushing to the supermarket to fill their house with eggs. Nor will it have people rushing to northern soul events. Its just a soundtrack to an advert that most people won't even notice. Keep calm and carry on souling....... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest themroc Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Oh! And Things Can only Get Better to get Blair elected. Aspirational northern soul cushions.Dinah Washington Cry Me A River to sell a car! It cheapens my life. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Gogger Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 i hate it when they use a song i really like in an advert , espesially the cheesy ones or the songs got nothing to do with what there selling , latest one with shirley ellis / nitty gritty , i have to turn away from the telly , maybe i'm just a sad so and so Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Rick Smith Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 It seems to me that the scene has been reduced to a source of advertising material and elevator music. Sat in a restaurant the other week and in the background music, Ann Deandre and Al Wilson. Is nothing sacred? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
