Hi all.

You know how it is, you tell someone you're into Northern Soul and they say.....whats that? And 2 minutes later you find yourself looking at the totally bemused expression of the person who asked.

So in 10 words or less.....What is Northern Soul?

Over to you.

Mikey put up a brilliant explanation a few years back, unfortunately more than 10 words, but difficult to explain it in 10 words.

Enthusiasm, passion, soulful, danceable beautiful, powerful, moving, life changing music.........

Yes but they still wouldn't understand. I always go for the 2 word option - don't bother :D

Always get ready for the next question, which I got today from the MD.

"let me get this right.........

You drove from Somerset to Burnley on Saturday night, danced all night and drove home in the morning.

How did you manage that?"

Time to make a quick exit.

You think describing Northern Soul is difficult.

Was asked what Modern Soul was the other day so I said 'do you know what Northern Soul is?'

They said yes so I said 'now move forwards 35 years & get rid of the silly clothes' :thumbsup:

Not 10 words or less but my answer is usually.....

"If you feel it you'll know. If you don't you never will."

(12 words close enough Yule ???)

End of conversation normally follows shortly after!

:thumbsup:

I thought you had " use when not having a woman " tattooed on it .

Northern Soul ? attempting to describe it to someone wastes your time and theirs .

Conversation from the early seventies- whilst having last pint in the local...

" Right, Rick, lets get off for the train"

Straight Mate-" Why where are you going"

"Wigan"

"What for??"

"An AllNighter"

" What's that?"

" Club that's open till 8 in the morning"

"Wow, drinking all night, can I come"

" Well the don't sell alcohol"

" Oh, well. The women must be fit""

" Well, yeah , but it's not that type of Club"

"No drink, no copping off-- WHAT YOU GOING FOR"

"you don't get it-see ya next week"

A lot of the stuff you hear is definitely blue eyed rather than black. Not my bag, but i know some djs like Kitch and Dean, like to throw a bit in and some punters like it. So that 'Black' definition becomes lacking in defining the vast range of contradictions that is the 'Northern soul' scene..
