Hands up those northern fans who get tired of the relentless mention of Wigan. Yes Wigan was a great night but prior to Wigan there were equally good if not better venues like The torch the catacombs twisted weheel and even the masonic hall. Yes wigan was good until certain promoters and DJs got greedy (you know who I mean...)but it wasnt the first so to all you northern afficianados ,KTF northern will always live on. God bless. Jeno. S-in-A.
Guppy's in York in the early 70's. This was the best record ever; big thanks to Howard Mitchell - without him I would never have found the confidence to hit the floor
Michael Harvey...….Yes - got to say it, the Torch WAS simply incredible. [most NS fans rave on about Wigan - but the atmosphere at the Torch was pure electricity!] And tunes like this were 'anthems'!
ilson coop sound even got the non believers dancing you had to givvum some room geoff scragg sound system on par with owt in mids and further 1974 5 shut 76 the best
@scarthogirl this is great all theses old tunes I didnt go to Wigan myself but my mum and her bros and sis were there every week and they travelled from Edinburgh Scotland I'm talking abt 70s ;) grea memorys. Have Watchin them all dance to ;)
Just listened to Duke Browner[Crying over you] and Edwin Starr[My weakness is you] and thinking of Wigan,Mr Ms 1976/77 Great days all the best to Northern soul fans everywhere, could never understand why Gary Lewis and playboys[ MY Hearts a symphony] was classed as Northern soul KTF Life is good
Played at Blackpool in 1971 when i was 15 geart sound we sang in the shop at Northampton as we forgot the title. Great memories of being young and free. We had a good era.
thecavendish the catacombs the lafayette wolverhampton willenhall baths soul night st giles youth club willenhall long acres bilston fab times and still doin em
bought it on the coach home to Gloucester from the Torch off Melv Clapton , 2 shillings / 6 pence if i remember right !!! Thanks mate what a record , those were the days !!!!!!!!!!
