Totally agree with @thesoultwins comments. I went from 74-to around 2005, still do the Mecca/Ritz revival in Manchester, I have to say, everyone (still alive) from my era feels the first 5-6 years of all-nighters you do, is like being with an extended family and getting a buzz off new tunes. Whether to dance to or collect the vinyl. Nobody really wanted Granada TV that winters night in the Casino, and the thought of films being made off the back of it appalled us back then. Having said that I thought the Soul Boy film was fair at best ! Although I really wish I could “unsee” the Blue Juice clip 😅
I don't know why, but watching any of these latter-day films about Northern Soul is so cringeworthy and always make me feel unbelievably embarrassed. This one especially so. I am sure the film-maker's intentions are honorable, but I realised a long time ago that you can NEVER ever recapture and replicate the incredible atmosphere, camaraderie and mystique of Northern Soul. You just had to be there.
I would say that rather than being latter day Northern Soul, it's actually a continuation / tail end of the 'Original' Northern Soul scene being portrayed .. ✊🏼 That's what it seamed to me at the time, late 80's early 90's. I was going surfing in England and dancing to Northern and alot of those dancers were 'Originals' Alot of folks from the Stoke n Brum area had headed to Cornwall n Devon back then ..✊🏼
:) I was fairly certain that the clip was AI generated content before the actors started talking, since nothing really seemed to match from the perspective of someone who lived the Mod revival in the early '80s...
@@HkFinn83 :) I once swam in the ocean from Cornwall on a windy day when the world was young, and I can totally see "Surfing in Cornwall" being the topic of a whole coming-of-age movie...
Loved this film when I first saw it, and was entranced by the music too. I now create music shows for internet radio and am about to put together two Northern Soul specials. There are two songs in this film that I can't seem to find - and I think you have explained one of them (Price Of Pain) as I can't find the Edwin Starr version anywhere and guess it was just made for the film. The other is the song that begins at 2:10 as Josh enters the club. Any help much appreciated!
haha, left inner London aged 29 as it turned out, for good in 72. I have never heard him or all that music. Each to his own I guess, I liked Booker T and have some of their music . Still have it. Green Onions.😀😀😀😀
How is it that you make a song so good just to appear as a sequence in a movie? Was searching for the song after hearing it in the movie, wasn’t expecting this
@@rFuzzyBearXBlue Juice... Its little known British road trip, surf film from the 90s. There's a some actors in it who became quite well known. There's a soulful groove about it, nice gentle humour and some good music. Personally, I think it's worthy of cult status 😎. I may be a little bias as it resonates on a personal level.. Well worth a watch 👍🏼
:) She's not "pretty", she's actually beautiful - AND at the top of her game, judging by how she handles that clown before the gods of plot devices make him her lover. According to IMDb, she is British actress Colette Brown.
Just watched this film. She hates him. As she should, he’s a hate able character. Then, cut to next scene and she virtually his girlfriend with no explanation of how that happened. Great writing😂
This man is a Legend, I've seen him many times and he always performs well. God bless you Edwin.
Edwin Starr . What a performer. Blasted the Four Tops off the stage when supporting , at City Hall Newcastle .
Love this movie

Film is about surfing in Cornwall. This is a brief scene about one of the characters trying to impress a girl.

Roscoe Shelton -- youre the dream
Wish someone would make a film about the Modern Soul years Artists and DJs.

Same thing here, I've been searching for it for years...
Its criminal that a full version of this song wasn't released @Domagoj_Pintaric
Ace film 👍🏼✨
What film is it ?

@@fettlerjohn3419 thanks pal, I just watched northern soul but going to watch this soon
@@rFuzzyBearX I hope you enjoy it, I had to search a bit for it. It's the one with Ewen Mcgregor and Catherine Zeta Jones...
Your link is wrong it goes to the American Film Blue Juice sadly
I don't have prime or Apple is there another way for me to see this film .
@@AndrewEdwardBaileywhat’s this film called ?
@@rFuzzyBearX It's called Blue Juice and is still available on DVD.
I remember this film but couldn't remember it's name I thought at the time the Josh character was a dig at Fat boy Slim. 😁
Yeah crossed my mind a bit too back then.. .
Curiosity killed the cat kinda hat
What's that record called the price of pain who is it by. Help
It's Edwin Starr mate (Ozzie Sands) but was never actually released!
@@jtrigzy5710 yes iv found out just wish I could have that record it's brill
Look at Keb😂😂😂
Colette brown 😮
A strangely less creditworthy actress.
Who was the actress who played the DJ? She's so pretty.

Could be in the nuance ? I'll have to watch it again.
It’s actually a good film though could do with a better clip
Ion and keb in the film
Keb made me a mixtape back in about 1986 ☺️ I knew his ex, who worked with my ex, and she got the tape for me.
