Northern Soul Movie


Recommended Posts

Guest Karen Heath

It seems like a really good cast. I have met 3 of these in a vaguely Northern Soul context-very very tenuous links but it's only fun....

Paddy Considine-on the Moloko video set where it was filmed as being at a Northern do.

Rhys Ifans at a party playing loads of Northern. He lives near me and is also a neighbour of Steve Mackintosh who was in the surfy film Blue Juice which again had a Northern Soul do.

Jamie Bell, oh no I've just realised it was the other Jamie, (Jamie Draven) in Billy Elliot who we met by chance in the bar after Dave Godin's funeral along with Ady Bower from Teachers and Neil Stuke from various things! They said they loved Northern and were tempted to slip into Dave's funeral do but thought it wasn't the done thing to gatecrash a funeral. Dave would have thought it was hilarious. They were very keen to come to the 100 club but have not yet materialised-perhaps they lost my number.....?!!

Told you it was tenuous. Especially the bit when I got the wrong actor! Oh well.

Hi ya Baz, but some of us still look fairly young you know!

link

Yes i know wasn't saying anything like that, the age range for the dancers is just a guide i would have thought :unsure:

Oh well I missed that bit didnt I so what about suggestions for lead parts then.....

I suggest no female floorwork dancers as the the boobs get in the way...  whistling.gif and Karen I too, can dance just as well as a bloke to the stompers and spinners, but from a self gratifying position, there aint nowt so sexy as a soulboy in full flow on the dance floor specially when they are fit :unsure:   :lol:

As for the gay thing.... Scotland.... Kilts/Skirts... come on......  :P

link

Well Colin Farrell or Johnny Depp - Im quite happy to teach either or both !!!

Not if you tape them down!!

I agree just as long as they dont spin their sweat all other you, I know its meant to be 'sexy' but sorry doesnt do it for me!

So we're back on the 100 club & wot to wear thread now!?

Dont have big egos oh no ,you and your m8 paulie are,nt doing to bad you sarcastic pair of cunts.Oh and just to set the record straight both my parents are irish and i lived in dublin for 3 yrs so i have been there once or twice,but feel free to visit any of my venues to continue this.

link

Sarcasm in reply to patronising matey, has everything regards NS got to revolve around you or wherever you sanction!

and why would i want/have to visit and hear some rude swearing bloke arrogantly continue inform me how great HIS VENUES are.

As said a thread bout film, keep your bigger best boasts for hyping up your venue and we'll keep the faith in our little world.

You want vinegar with that big chip?

I'm surprised that Paul Sadot isn't in this what with his mate from Dead Mans Shoes in it too...he doesn't  look any older than Paddy Considine and he can do all that 70s northern dancing with the floorwork, spinning etc.  Would have thought he'd have been perfect for a part in this, especially cos of his knowledge of the scene back then having been part of it plus , obviously, directing the Wigan play.

link

Dont think the director would like this,Mr Sadot will add beer towls and dont forget the dancing lessons,could be big spin-offs whistling.gif

Sorry you missing the point, the scene is not as male dominated as it was, which is good, Im of the view that everyone on telly, plays, etc always has to look good, look young, etc., but in real life . . .

Hi Karen,

Fair point, but not exactly reinforced by your choice of avatar? whistling.gif

Just got back on this thread (sorry Richie, THE Nicky Newarkers isn't for sale).

Anyway, didn't realise I would have created such a kerfuffle (love that word) by responding to Soultown Andy's reply.

Now Andy. Don't take things too seriously. It is, after all only music. BTW, just shows how little you know us. Danny and I have never been described as m8s! However, I will say that in this instance, yes we are and it's a pleasure to know him. Sleepless Nights in Dublin is an amazing night and if you've never tried it, you should. I reckon it'll be an eye-opener.

Paulie

PS. Please don't beat me up

You are missing my point, your example of Paul Weller wanting male dancers for his video is sexist, is what I am disagreeing with and I made no mention about the soul scene as it was or is. What I was saying was that Weller must have had an idea in his mind of how he wanted to video to look - call it artistic license. He doesn't have to produce a video that replicates 'real' life or 'real' people, just like say Picasso for example (obscure I know!). He paints a portrait of a person and it ends up looking nothing like the person.

"Im of the view that everyone on telly, plays, etc always has to look good, look young, etc., but in real life . . ."

Again I don't agree. 'Cutting It' (BB1) the mother of the family her character was a Wigan regular, concieved one of her children in the car park there and she's no beauty.

It really is how the director/ producer etc want it to look. Not how we would like to see it. I personally would love to see a film based on the scene as it is now ohmy.gif Anyone fancy doing one? :unsure:

Ok, ie. when you see women dancing on the tv they are protrayed as sexy - with little on - but not artistic! Whereas a man would be - thats my view - like so was what I said before! :P

I think Cutting It was an exception and I wish we could have more like that! ohmy.gif

Yes - when do we start? :yes::)
