Northern Soul

Hi Folks,
Wondered if any of you liked Northern Soul?
It started for me at the age of 15 at the Leeds soul festival 1972, where I saw the legendary Geno Washington & Major Lance. I was then taken to a 'Northern' all-nighter club in Bolton, England called the VaVa & I was hooked. Sadly I hadn't been going that long when it was closed down for drugs. The night it was raided, the dancefloor was awash with pills! Anyway, six weeks later a club opened in Wigan called the Casino Club and another legend was born. I went to the Casino for just over five years and in all that time, I can count on one hand the nights I missed. It was said that Wigan Casino was the best night club in the world at the time. Don't know about that but I'll never forget it.

Yes have to agree. Never was in the Wigan Casino but the North West of England be it Liverpool or Manchester has produced the best clubs I have ever seen, whether it be live music, Northern Soul etc. London doesnt compare....

You're dead right there mate. Manchester is probably the best night-life city in the UK.

Hi Tomfooler,
Jimmy's machine - the legendary Twisted Wheel!! The pals that got me into Northern were a bit older than me & they loved both the Wheel & The Torch (Stoke)
Here's a link to a movie I made called: A stroll down memory lane.

Stay safe & Keep The Faith

There's a real surge of interest in Northern Soul here in the UK. The movie Northern Soul is due for release Summer 2013. i can't wait to see it. Looks really genuine to me from the teaser. I'm not surprised though, the depth of research has been excellent, they even opened a night club in Bolton to recreate the scene.
