    Got my ticket for the London show -- it's being staged @ the Royal Festival Hall on the bank of the Thames. This is usually the venue for very highbrow concerts, so the NSoulers will definitely bring a different vibe to the place.

    Saw the Funk Brothers in concert there so it has the right pedigree

    Oh dear. This is the antithesis of Northern Soul. It's Everything it wasn't about.

    I completely agree. It's yet another BBC distortion, as if their other "Soul Of America In London" offerings weren't bad enough. This is not "our" music. It's just some obnoxious middle of the road interpretation of it, aimed at mainsteam concert goers, TV and radio audiences, whatever.

    Hi Paul, I was lucky enough to see the Funk Brothers, in 2005 albeit at the Manchester Apollo, and they were awesome, even though sadly depleted in numbers, whereby for example, the opening bars to "it's a shame" sounded like I was present at 2648 West Grand Boulevard.....Whilst the BBC orchestras' efforts are commendable, they are not in the same league......respectfully!

    . . .. If you weren't there then .....this ain't nowhere near ........
    I was there from 1966 onwards [[Mojo, Nite Owl, Wheel, etc, etc) ....
    ... so you're trying to preach to the wrong guy.

    Sorry if it seemed like I was aiming that at you ....I was speaking to the "you"s of the universe.
    You are fortunate to have such bragging rights.... as one who actually got to ride the wave.

    As such are you in agreement with my appraisal??
