    A collection of crass, nasty, cheesy, tantamount to Karaoke versions of Northern Soul gems and Ian Levine's own aborted and cynical attempts at recreating Northern Soul chemistry; tailor-made, exploitative, crap that only a Northern Arsehole with DIVVY tastes (reminiscent of Bay City Roller fans) could appreciate--an insult to our legacy, the ORIGINAL, AUTHENTIC, Northern Soul Gems, and the legendary artists who made them!

    It was a lot longer than 38 yrs ago that I fell in love with Northern Soul. I was doing my A levels and found kindred souls that loved to listen to records for long periods of time. I met several DJ’s in Northampton and Milton Keynes and then fell in love with Northern Soul. It was to be my constant for a while. I was just turned 17 in 1972 and I lived to dance! Obviously being in my late 60’s now my music choices have wavered - my overwhelming love is for reggae - but my love for northern soul will never die! Osteoarthritis tries to interrupt the legs but after a few bevvies ( it would have been a few other things in 1972!) my legs fail me not and the moves will never die! Dancing on the stage at the Torch has so many memories for me! I was one of the lucky people that loved Bletsoe, Kelmarsh, the Torch, Blackpool Mecca, the Cattacombs and the lovely people who were riding on the same wave 😊 love you and miss you all. I will never forget being woken up at 5.30am by Glen and his friend after they had played in Wolverhampton. One of my best friends dj’ed at Bletsoe and Kelmarsh - Delbert Brown - met him at Shades in Northampton, along with Glen Bellamy and others. It was a magic time in my life I have so many memories. Calls out to the many X

      @thesoultwins72 2 года назад

      @drwhatson......Totally agree Dave - Herb Ward. "Honest To Goodness" was an absolute monster choon at the Cats and always packed the floor out. Fetches pretty big money these days [especially the original 1968 RCA promo copy which we bought for a tenner back in the day]. Got to know Graham Warr [and his Mrs Julie] quite well after we left the Northern scene - they moved to Hereford and opened a clothes store]. He didn't really get the credit he deserved IMHO - although I remember him being very nervous when he first started DJing at the Cats.

      @@drwhatson......Mmm - I never knew Graham DJ'd at the Rum Runner! [and Iain and I DJ'd there for ages!] When was Graham DJing there - do you remember Dave? Apart from us there was only really Shaun - who exclusively played Jazz-Funk on Saturday & Sundays and a couple of mid-week nights. Although Ian and I would sometimes DJ on Saturdays & Sundays too. But then Paul Berrow [who was totally bonkers] and owned the Rum Runner with his brother Michael decided to introduce a new brand of music he had heard being played after going to a few 'trendy' clubs in London. So we launched a Tuesday night gig playing 'New Wave/Romantic' stuff like [early] Ultravox, Human League, Spandau Ballet, Gary Newman etc as well as John Fox, The Psychedelic Furs, Associates, Kissing the Pink, Martha & the Muffins, Pigbag, Yellow and Kraftwerk etc. To be honest and whilst some of the stuff wasn't bad, Iain and I weren't really into it - so we introduced Paul to an 'up-and-coming' DJ called 'Dickie' who took over the Tuesday nights from us - and the rest is history as they say! [Dickie went on to become quite a 'face' in Birmingham and even remixed a few albums for The Beloved]. At that point, I had really got into Latin-Jazz, obscure soul, rare groove and Jazz-funk. So after working at a few clubs around Birmingham - I started a night at a club called 'Antony's' at 5-ways and it was absolutely mega! [probably the best club I ever DJ'd at - brilliant atmosphere and crowd.]. People were coming from all over as you could only hear most of the records I was playing there. I even got offered nights at the infamous 'Wag' club in London, as well as a place in Stoke [forget the name!] and 'The Point' in Milton Keynes - where I eventually became resident DJ. Then as quickly as it started it was over - Rave suddenly hit the UK!

I was a regular there when Jazz-Funk was played on Monday Nights (I have a framed poster in my hall :-P). There were also a few "exchange visits" with Cassenelli's, in Standish, nr. Wigan (Colin Curtis) after Graham left. A bunch of us also went to a gig that Graham put on in Hereford, in 1981 I think - we all slept on the floor at Graham's house!

    Mad this popped up,I've got the dvd of these clips," Strange world of northern soul". And although I never got to go to Wigan I look at many many clips and I feel I'm right there with them. Mad how you just feel connected with all of it. 62yrs old now and let me tell ya there's no other music for me for sure,my stomache even turning now and I'm only texting. It's good to see the younger generation k.t.f, but let's be honest they will never feel what we felt first time round. Looking back at the fashion then I still think it's the best. And another thing girls and boys nearer enough dressed the same ha! Even hair styles. Ain't no soul like the old sole.✊

So Most of 45 demos never got played here a lot of little record companies Close shop American Artists sing in other counties and the UK Thats why ITS NOTHERN SOUL Thank You
