No!!! Northern soul is fantastic!! I remember years ago going to northern soul parties, ah those were the good old days

80's music is okay too, I just prefer to have an eclectic taste and not be a fan of one genre though there are a few I don't like, garbage for instant, sorry garage

Donald Byrd, SOS band, Tom Browne, Howard Johnstone, Kwik, Rick James, positive force...

Crack stuff..But I aslo enjoy a lot of Lizzy, AC/DC, Quo, Ska, Punk, Swing, boogie woogie, blues etc etc..theres too much great music out there to limit yourself to one type in my opinion..

You're right there - we love all types of music. We were at The Sage a few weeks ago to see Chris barber, Acker Bilk and Kenny Ball - I was surprised how the fellas had aged, it's funny how time passes you by - but they were still great. Next Monday we are back at The Sage to see the Robert Cray Band

Stay - The Controllers

Encore - Cheryl Lynn

Tell Me How It Feels - 52nd Street

I can't believe it's over - The Funkmasters

It was an amazing time for music, the recent revival shows that. The 90's move into 'Swing' was even better.

Southern freeze was good but the Beverly knight version really kicks arse

Shakatak really did make the coolest tunes but were the uncoolest band

Nights over Egypt

The groove by Rodney franklin

Cross the tracks by maceo and the macks

And roadblock

The whitelabel that Pete waterman produced to fuck off the music snobs
