Great film, spot on with the invasion of youth clubs in the north in 1970's northern soul nights where everywhere, dancing classes in saturday afternoon disco's even in churches, very northern...
We used to go into Woods Bradford and we would get them to play the vinyls in the record booth like in the movie.I seen this when it came out, decent film.
+knockshinnoch1950 A lot of the plot was by-the-numbers, I agree, but as an American who grew up in L.A. I was really fascinated by the Northern Soul scene in England - it was really alien to me. And the idea of music as being a physical entity, something to be sought after, cherished, discovered, held - as a huge music fan now living in the internet age - I envy that joy of discovery of new music that took so much effort to find. Also found interest in the roots of club culture as it is now. You could argue it all started here. Speed use is a lot darker than this film portrays, but I guess it's all about when it's starting out and still fun. I'd recommend the movie to other music lovers, but agreed it's far from perfect.
Hi Daniel, for us here in the UK during the 60/70/80s the US was a distant exotic land of plenty where great music was being made by many obscure artists and labels. Even Motown stars were rarely seen here on live TV with visits by the Supremes seen as big events. The northern soul scene was a "counter culture" merging during the disco era to create the club culture we have today
+knockshinnoch1950 Thanks for your reply - of course, over here in the 60s, we were in thrall to the British Invasion, and all things English. It's interesting to see things worked both ways. I also loved that this movie was set in 1974 - the year I was born. I grew up listening to all of my mother's British Invasion records and her Motown records... All in all I thought this was a very enjoyable movie!

tremendous film, full of energy and emotion, recommended.
this really does look like the 70s
I was there in 1974 at Wigan Casino blocked off my head on amphetamines. From 1974 to 1977.

Love this film ❤
Good film 👌
"No, but I've got loads of soul." 😁
lol the trailer said "The Music Was Motown"...except not really at all. It was all of the smaller labels who Motown overshadowed.
That's right. I even have records on Stax label.
sick movie
I this is underground, but it's going to be massive..?????? Oxymoron if I ever heard one.. !!!!!
I was an extra in this film
Did you dance?
Adoro!
aparently my dad new the person who made this film and it was supposed to be based of my dad
Cool
matthewsimpson - Maybe your dad should've helped you with your punctuation instead of dancing around to Northern Soul.
you speaking goodder these days.
Course it was sweetheart
Of course it was
Gosh, my mum and dad are fricking Northern Soul fans. The film itself looks too predicable.
I dont see one skinhead.
Skinheads didn't go to the casino
@@susanhenshaw1271 oh ok so there were specific dance halls that the skinhead went?
I don't know where they went to be honest but not many in the casino
@@shawnfaddoul1779 Pretty sure Skins at that time were big into the Reggae scene.
@@thebarbaryghostsf they've always listened to northern soul cause it was spun by Djs at dance halls other than ska.
What a disappointing film, cliched, wooden performances.
