Another subculture that needs GMP protection?- having said that though the Sophie Lancaster murder was monstrous and unfortunately around that time there was another subculture of local thugs who were targetting Manchester Uni students to beat up but it did not seem to get into the National Press.

As a record dealer for the last 22 years I can vouch for this. There are many collectors of northern tunes that want that holy grail which costs a fortune but is actually a real cack tune. And the only reason they want it is for the bragging rights, not to heaven forbid play the thing!! And the northern scene has changed hugely over the yeras, tunes that were once frowned upon when played at a northern night are positively raved over, and a whole new "modern" soul scene emerged, with tunes from the 70's such as "Where will go when the party is over" by Archie Bell and the Drells, and the Ace Spectrum tune "(if you can't come yourself) don't send nobody else" getting lots of plays.

And another influential soulboy I forgot to mention - Giles Peterson in today's Metro


"How would you describe your musical approach?

I?ve never been able to do that. What I?d say is it hasn?t varied much since I was 15 ? I grew up at a time when you made a decision about what tribe you were going to follow. I became a soulboy casual and went to the soul all-dayers and weekenders and was going to clubs and buying white labels when I was 16.


What were your influences when you were growing up?

At a very young age I got to meet some very important people such as Wayne Shorter, Mark Murphy and The Last Poets. They gave me a really important lesson in the foundations of black music and, on top of that, I grew up in the era of punk and jazz-funk in London. I?ve always been obsessed by music that falls between the cracks."

For me Giles Peterson is overrated, he gets plaudits and the likes of Robbie Vincent are over looked more often than not, despite bringing an awul lot of stuff to the attention of the listening public which would otherwise have gone under the radar.

PD i sort of agree - I think Peterson just does something a bit different, I like his Saturday slot on Radio 6.



But, agree on Robbie Vincent...his Saturday morning show on Radio London back years ago was one of the only places you could listen to any decent soul music other befor ea few crap signalled pirates (JFM, Kiss)started in the early 80s.

Another guy that did a lot for soul music but never gets a mention is Peter Young, who's been around for ages and used to go out of his way to buy tunes to play on his shows rather than just stick to a rigid play list. Same goes for, dare I say it, Tony Blackburn.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
