I heard it years ago at a scooter rally, but I never knew the title. | |

Posted: 7/4/2008 6:27:56 AM | I was lucky enough to go to Wigan Casino between 78 and 81 and was one of those genuine people to be there on the last night in Sept 81.
I was living in Lytham St Annes at the time and used to get there about 12.15 to fight our way in. Up the steps and into the best disco in the world.
We used to base ourselves in the balcony to the right of the stage and go into Mr.M's now and again.
My 2 favourite records;
Do I Love You - Frank Wilson
Bok To Bach - Fathers Angels
Check em out and see what you think

I was also DJing in the 70's when northern soul was at its peak, had some great nights.
We had four disco setups and one just played soul and nothern soul. | |

Posted: 7/26/2009 1:34:39 PM | on my local radio station, mansfield 103.2 there is a soul show from 6-8pm on saturday nights playing quality northern soul sounds....i think the show is networked so chances are a local commercial radio station near you will be playing it.
if not you can listen online to mansfield 103.2 online | |

Posted: 10/19/2009 8:40:15 AM | | Was looking at that one but just realised its on a normal do fri night, mini nighter sat and only a few hours on sunday.... I've just been spoilt with prestatyn last week with 3 nighters and 3 dayers...lol. Blackpool was proving expensive so gonna do Skeg weekender the week before instead....its a new venue so not sure what it will be like but its only up the road so worth a look. ktf x | |

Posted: 10/19/2009 5:15:45 PM | I must add my little bit here..
There really are a lot of great sounds within Northern Soul.
Can't say I like them all but there are some fantastic sounds that are really are timeless.
I'll check out my colection and post a fe wof my personal faves
Anybody know of regular Northern Souls Nights in London or South (exclude Camber) of down to Brighton / Hastings / Worhing / Bognor / Porstmouth and anywhere in between catering up to the 45/50s year olds then please post a link pls..
Hope i'm allowed to say all this..  | |
