Posted: 6/1/2008 10:24:38 AM | If you're all into the Northern Scene - trouble is, so I have been told, people go for the music not to meet new partners... so I am safe then! lol.... Surely you must have heard of the following website?
www.soul-source.co.uk
www.modculture.com
www.newuntouchables.com
I prefer the ska/skinhead reggae/rocksteady
Mod boys are too skinny and not tall enough for me and they tend to ride those motorbikes that have hair dryers for engines... what they called again!? o yea... Scooters! pmsl I am only joking.....!!!!! Come on, where's yoru sense of humour people?
If you are looking for an excellent Northern Soul Night
Saturday June 14 TALK OF THE SOUTH SOUL CLUB
At the Luton Rugby Club, Midlands Road, Luton - 2 mins from Junction 10 of the M1
Sean Chapman, Pete Tebbutt and guests... 7.30 - 100am £8 otd

Posted: 6/1/2008 1:39:10 PM | Lesleyy, thanks for mentioning the Derby nights, I'm really in the dark as where to find a good local night but will have to check something out locally, only really been into the music for a few years so relatively recent. Not sure as to what counts as bona fide Northern but I personally love 'Moonlight, Music and You' by Laura Greene.....even tried to get the DJ to play it at the Derby meet on Friday but he didn't have it on him! 
Nice to see this thread being revived anyway....keep the faith people | |

Posted: 6/1/2008 3:19:13 PM | Wow, I was just at a Northern Soul night last night. In Edinburgh we have them once a month and still have all dayers etc. They are good nights out though sadly I cant do the dances I just like to watch and get up and do my own thing. I wish I had got into it when it first came on the scene but I was married with kids at the time so didnt really go out clubbing etc (try to make up for it now though  ) | |

Posted: 6/2/2008 5:34:54 AM | I too am into Northern Soul, and being brought up in the St Helens / Wigan area, it was almost compulsory to like , even though a lot of us were into heavy metal / glam rock and assorted other genres at the time ..
Edwin Starr at the Casino, brilliant ..... put me back out dancin though lol | |
