Northern Soul...

[Lie-in King]

...at the Proms - I know there are a few fans of the genre here & since Lynne introduced me to it, I count myself as one, though I'm still (& guess will always be) muddling through...

Anyway, if anyone's interested, it's on this evening - BBC2, 19:45 > 21:15 & I'll be watching with interest :-)

'Crackin' Up', Lie-In King.

If memory serves isn’t Gloria Jones’ Tainted Love a NS favourite?

[Lie-in King]

Ta, Douglas - Tommy Hunt - him, I should've thought of. Love it :-)

Grabbing a bite, back later - have a good evening all, whatever you're up to :-)

I love a bit of Northern Soul. In fact it was only a few months ago that I was doing some Northern Soul dancing to Frank Wilson's 'Do I Love You'. It was a great night.

Desk Diary, have a look into the releases on the Tamla Motown subsidiary Soul label. I've Got a Feeling you will like what is there.

Love this music - really gets my feet tapping

[ladybirder]

Hi LiK. Watching it now. Brilliant.

Spotted any, "dinner-suited Prom fans" yet?

[buttons77]

“…To take that, water it down beyond parody, and then dress it up for a bunch of dinner-suited Prom fans who wouldn't know Gloria Jones if they passed her in the street, is a compete and utter waste of time. “
I’m sitting here in my living room seeing a lot of talented musicians and artists producing fantastic music that I am enjoying immensely.
It looks like the audience there is, too.

For Tony AV.

Some of you may have realised that I am not the biggest fan of the Beeb ... but that was kin brilliant.

Thoroughly enjoyed that programme - thank you for posting otherwise I'd have missed it.

[Lie-in King]

Oh, my. Well, I'm souled ;-) Big sniffs from me, I'm feeling very emotional.

I *thoroughly* enjoyed every minute of that & it looked as though the audience (that I guess know their stuff) did as well. Many tracks I'd never heard, some I had & all were performed so well by the singers & orchestra.

My heart's been given a kick-start & while I'm sort of sad, I'm very happy as well. My thanks to all involved with the concert & I'm glad that folk here enjoyed it as well :-)) x

I was thinking of TonyAV as well, I hope he's ok.

[Lie-in King]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it, DD :-))

I recorded it for future views.

[bobbinwales]

Fantastic. Especially impressed with Darell Smith and the one who did I'm on my way. tainted love was brilliant. We'll watch again tomorrow on catch up

[Dagman]

A superb concert, talent all the way, looked like some were itching to dance but there wasn't much room sadly!

[Lie-in King]

Bobb - :-)

Togo - no idea, but let's not allow it to spoil the mood :-)
