Guest Bearsy Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 What with the Culture show the other night and the forthcoming film and adverts etc etc using the music the scene brought back to life and many saying the want it to stay underground. I was thinking if it really has been underground for years, 1000s of you tubes of the tunes, various websites,1000s of tunes on eBay under Soul but also northern soul, 1000s of soulies old and new all over the country and last few years seen and become friends with soulies from lots of countries around the world, lots of scooter rallies having a separate Northern room etc etc etc. the majority of the scene/s into the nostalgia scene and only a fraction into the rarer side of it This is not an oldies v newies thread so please for ffs don't turn it into one its just an observation of what I've been seeing, reading and now watching. Is it time to just accept its not an underground scene anymore and never will be again as its had so much publicity good or bad that if you ain't heard of northern soul then your probably not a music lover at all. I can see more returning and new to the scene folk coming to a venue near to you sometime soon. Fingers crossed those that do get it and enjoy it and respect it as much as we all do and always will. KFC and all that ..... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Geeselad Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 it all comes down to how you define 'underground', and thats a tricky one, it certainly is and indeed was mainstream in certain areas. Around Stoke NS was THE popular music of the mid to late 7ts, kids down my street used to do skipping to 'what' as well as the rollers chant, 'b- a- y, b-a-y' ect. Is it really mainstream in the true sense? I'm sure there's loads around the country who've never heard of it, especially amongst the young, who are probably far too busy getting tattoo'd over 90% of their carcass whilst high on a mix of mad cat and veno's. Is it underground? well even the most commercial side of it probably is, to a certain extent. Is it cool anymore? you seen any of those weekender photo's? I sometimes catch the big band show on sundays evenings on R2, they advertise concerts by swing band's around the country, Cromer pier and the like, and I wonder about the 'big band scene', I'm sure its not cool, but its probably got more dignity than what's left of NS. 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Popular Post Premium Stuff Posted October 2, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) Now that would be a good topic (or sub-topic here) - Is Northern Soul still cool? From what I am gathering, from recent discussions on here and elsewhere, there is a mood going on that despite the new film, book, Culture Show, Fred Perry's latest clothing lines, young ones from Wigan etc. perhaps meaning that the mainstream might possibly think again that Northern Soul is still cool, or worth looking at again ... ... people on the Northern 'scene' who have always valued it's underground, authentic, rare, obscure, cool, progressive aspects seem to be saying it has already gone non-cool and already looks like the teddy boy scene before it took it's final breath. I have to admit - all those videos of the fat old people dancing on YouTube is atrocious - sorry folks but it is. How about dress code at Northern venues ...

Popular Post Sean Hampsey Posted October 2, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) I think I agree with Brivinyl above. Being a mod, being into Soul, in the sixties and early 70's was an alternative and 'slightly' underground lifestyle and 'scene'. But by '74 'Northern Soul became seen (certainly in the north of England) as 'popular' music, with scores of chart hits and TV exposure. The Bay City Roller generation found Wigan and the rest is history. I've never had a problem with that, personally. I thought I was the only real Soul fan in the world for far too long, lol. Soul is the greatest music the world has ever provided. The more people enjoying, admiring and loving it the better for me. The artists deserve to be exposed and appreciated by as many people as have an ear for it. That is not to be coveted by just the few who feel that they alone have a divine right to it. Live it, love it and be prepared to share it. We are fortunate, some might say blessed, to have been exposed to it, and had it as the soundtrack to our lives for such a long time.

So this underground v mainstream dilemma ain't nothing new. MB Absolutely right. It was all over the press and even became 'mainstream' to ask people 'Are you a Mod or a Rocker?' - And I was only about nine at the time! Amuses me to think that the next and subsequent generations think that they are somehow part of some elite, clandestine, movement that the man in the street is completely unaware of. They're not. They haven't been for donkeys years. But where the music is concerned, its still the greatest. And no one is going to know everything, so there are will always be a few secrets yet to be unearthed and discovered! Which is what keeps it plenty 'special' enough for me.

John Reed Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) I think its silly people worrying if the Northern scene is “underground” or not. Most people would agree that it’s generally populated with people over 40, who’ve loved whatever scene they’ve been on for years. Surely worrying about “undergroundness” — yes, I know it’s not a real word, is for the youth and young adults who are trying to find their own identity and place in the world and not for people in later life with mortgages and children of their own. I may that thought it years ago, but now I don’t care, as adverts on telly using 60’s Soul, TV programmes, waistcoats and other comedy clothing don’t detract from or affect the music I love or venues I attend. As a grown man I have better things to worry about than hearing the Mello Souls whist shopping in Tesco’s.

Best Kev Thats exactly how i see it also Kev.The scene in my opinion was at its most COOL,most UNDERGROUND,and most ENJOYABLE during the so called wilderness years of mid 80s through the 90s up to the early millenium.Loads of characters around,great accross the board sounds,and venues with an edge and a goose bump atmosphere.1980s Clifton Hall,Stafford,early 90s Keele,Manchester Ritz,Cleethorpes Winter Gardens.During this period even the local soul nights were great.Bring back the WILDERNESS 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest BAKUNIN Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 "Underground" and "Cool" in my opinion define or describe an attitude or feeling once had or felt by places people or environments.They still exist as one commentator has said in some places but not generally.The whole scene has been diluted and broken down into its constituent parts catering for different genres and different people.However I would not categorise those people as underground or cool by how knowledgeable they are about records...after all my neighbour is an expert on Cornish Pasties butthat makes him dedicated nothing more.The "underground" or "coolness" of the scene is or was...well "something"..you find it one Saturday night but maybe not the next.

Popular Post Citizen P Posted October 3, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2013 Who cares, really?? From my angle I have always said that you don't get into it..IT gets into you.. I didn't go looking for a Cool, Underground Scene to belong to, after hearing all the classic (well a lot) motown, stax etc. at the youth clubs and having to suffer interminable shite in any given "disco" in between hearing the odd Soul tune, saw adverts in Blues and Soul for clubs saying they played exclusively Soul. Okey dokey, we'll give that a go....... walked in the first night..... complete Damascus moment. So, grabbed by the throat in 1972 and never looked back.. Yes, had a few years away marriage and kids and all that, but the MUSIC never leaves you, dipped the toe back in and heard stuff I hadn't heard before..brilliant.. I still go out , in the hope of hearing something I don't know. If I can come away from a night thinking Wow, gotta get me one of them, then I've had a good night. I understand that I am probably in the minority. 5 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Winnie :-) Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Earlier this year I was doing a qualification called PTLLS, during it you have to give what's known as a 'Micro-teach', which is basically a shortened lesson of 20 minutes. As you can pick any subject to teach I chose Northern Soul. The first question I asked was have any of you heard of Northern soul, the idea was that if they had they stood up. 2 stood. If they couldn't answer any questions they were then to sit down. I then asked, can you name a venue. 1 sat down, finally I asked could they name a DJ and the last one sat down. To cut a long story short, most people seem vaguely aware of northern, but don't appear to have any extensive knowledge. Interestingly, my partner Jackie who is a lecturer was demonstrating how to do a micro teach to her class, so she also chose Northern to compare results. She spoke to 14 students, similar or the same questions only 1 got up to the have you heard of northern question, and then he sat down, when asked to name a venue. So all in all, I would say that northern has maintained it's mystique. I know it's a very small sample, but there does seem to be some hope Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Ian D Yep - and that's just some folk you meet on the scene Ian But I think you make a good point. It was less in the spotlight in the 80's and 90's than in the 70's and its certainly getting a lot of media attention currently, so it probably is cyclical. I also wonder how much of its 'popularity' is still a North / South thing? In my part of the world, pretty much every second or third person you meet went somewhere at sometime on the scene.

It's very different down south - I live on the South Coast and I've worked in a university library for 17 years and in all that time the only person I've really been able to talk too about Soul music was a Japanese student who had asked about using the library record player and it turned out he was very much into 70s Soul and we did a few CD swops. Not to say there isn't Soul fans around as there are some very dedicated Soul collectors here but they just don't seem as numerous and I haven't worked with any or come into contact with any on campus, despite working with one of the areas main employers. Then I got talking to a new starter last week and he knew quite a lot about the Soul scene - but he's from Manchester.
