Butlins skegness 1979 first time i see northern soul dancing. They was all dancing in the same manner, it was strange to me as a londoner. They are still dancing exactly the same ways to northern soul now and will be doing so in another hundred years time. the music and dance routines stand the test of time even the youngsters dance the same moves nowadays

Wow does this take me back I was brought up in wigan just watching these old films of wigan and northern soul it's totally different from the wigan I once new I live in Ramsgate kent now but i would do it all again tomorrow

had one in the 60s. The wheel to start the player had a curious function - it started the record rotating but the more you turned the wheel the faster the record played - i dont remember many songs on the records at normal speed - Little Brown Jug in particular, Oh dem golden slippers and Billy Boy!

I used to be one of the in crowd at the all nighters back in the 70s take benzadrex inhaler a chew as fast as you could and spin around on the dance floor felt great. everyone in awe of us 😅

Once hitch hiked to Wigan Casino as a wee lass 😅

Not a fatty in sight. No overactive thyroids/lazy people in them days, eh?!

Phoenix nights with silly dance moves!!😂😂😂

What no black bombers?

I can't believe the younger generation doesn't know about northern soul

Buses went down to Wigan from Glasgow back in the day

Only just found this style of dancing.... on You Tube.... im 49 !!!!!!

Jeeez, i love this music, & the dancing. The memories get me all choked up, dont know why, just do. ❤💃🕺

My brother used to go to all nighters at Wigan and I seem to remember that he kept going by taking speed. The scene certainly introduced him to drugs. So I gather from him there was no alcohol but there were drugs.

Back in 1973/4, I worked with a lad, name of Pete a good kid. He would tell me about the all nighters he used to go to at The Winter Gardens in Cleethorpes.He really loved them, it's taken 50 year's but now I get it! WOW! Just watched Northern soul at the proms Brilliant, what's left to say only KTF!!!!

Dancing to northern soul music certainly kept us fit not like music of today kids have very fit thumbs with all the texting they get more exercise than the rest of their bodies

Good old fashioned fun

I met my husband at Wigan Casino what an amazing place it was the music was epic and what an atmosphere. This music took me back. Personally I prefer Tamla Motown but each to their own. They used to have live artist on also. We saw Jimmy Ruffin, Edwin Starr, The Elgins The Fantasics to name just a few. Great times no drugs very few drunks no knives very little swearing. 70s era and music brilliant, some of the rock was pretty good.

Coming up to my 78th birthday. I wish I’d known about Northern Soul when I lived in Manchester - born there and moved to the Northeast in '68. I’d taken lessons in ballroom but this would’ve been the dog's bo****ks. Too late for me 😟

As a London lad, I was introduced to Northern Soul from blokes I met when I joined the Army. The clothing we wore was more or less the same - I had a CRACKING pair of grey two tone flares with a FIVE button waistband and THREE BELTS, spade toed shoes etc.. When I first saw Northern soul dancing done by some blokes at a ‘disco’ in Andover Hampshire, I was totally blown away. The lads who did it told me I should go up north with them on leave and see whole dance halls doing it. I did and I was hooked. I spent almost all of my money on records and clobber when I was on leave. Wish I could still do it all now (65 and not as nimble!) The excitement of going out was just incredible, and if
