Pete S Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 On the subject of patches, which I was yesterday, Dee just found this one in the garage...was this the first Australian weekender or something, I have no idea how I got this unless Maria or Alex sent it to me maybe? Is it worth anything? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
dthedrug Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 HI ALL PETE that's a real nice badge you have, but can't help you as it's new to me also, value must be £30 min, if it is the 1st Aussie related N/S badge that price would be way out, the map reminds me of a rabbit DAVE K Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Carty Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 long time ago ( 1988 ) i spent around a month in Australia, on arrival in Sydney , i made my way down to the cheap hotel / hostel area, Kings Cross, the walls in this area had been fly posted , one of them read TORCH REVIVAL, NORTHERN SOUL .! which suprised me to say the least , point i am making is there were definately soul nights there in the eighties, would be interesting to know more about the roots of the Australian scene .

Carty Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Sunny soul, so you had a part in organising that night , what a small world , what year did these nights begin? were these the start of the thriving Australian scene we hear about today , what kind of numbers were and are currently involved ? have there ever been sounds that have only been played in oz ? is it mainly an oldies scene etc, etc.. also, what do you know about " sharpies " , to my understanding this is some kind of working class youth culture peculiar to Australia, are there any parallels to our mods and skinheads and do they follow a certain music ...
