25 miles great record, but not the right bpm to be northern/rare

Great song, great dancing, clothes?

And Salena Jones's finest moment:

Salena had a jazz restaurant in Shepherds Bush a few years ago, so me and the mrs went to see her. She was still awesome, and chatted to us for ages. She was always much more into the jazz, which is a damn shame because her swing stuff was fucking awesome.

Not really northern soul at all but this is one of my favourite records ever:

25 miles great record, but not the right bpm to be northern/rare

Paul Weller turned up last night in maida vale at our kids girl guides BBQ party, collecting his daughter.. i handed him a jelly on a plate, he said 'hmm nice, cheers mate'.. the guy is too cool for words, and this has to be my favourite from Stanley Road..

Yeah you're right just thought the Weller thing was relevant, I know he's a big fan. I think his guitarist Steve Craddock has written a book on the subject.
Just leave you with this classic.
