Soul16 Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Easily the best 1980's footage I've ever seen. Brilliant 1
Silverfox Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Wow! what a wonderful trip down memory lane. Always good records for sale there!!
Guest Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Wow! what a wonderful trip down memory!! Tell me about it...quite a few Soul-Sourcers are there...should they care to reveal themselves Thankfully I wasn't there that night having already left Gloucester by '87, but so good to see some of the old regular faces...thanks for the upload and looking forward to part II already.
mark and donna Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) That's a brilliant bit of footage. I love seeing these uploads (Tony's empress ballroom,odd fellows etc).and I am sure I have met the chap being interviewed at about 14min 40sec a few times and he still had the moves. What does surprise me is back then it was still the same argument oldies,nostalgia etc vs newies (as they call them) and that was back in 1987!. Edited January 14, 2014 by mark and donna

Jerry Hipkiss Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Gloucester - a city with a fine history of northern soul. Gloucestershire - a county with a fine history of Northern Soul - and it continues!What's frightening is that it's almost twenty seven years since that was filmed...don't think I DJ'd at that one, although I did quite a few there, probably off doing a nightclub gig! Dennis Lee, Wilxy with big hair, Sue Reddy, Julie, Rich Gough, even Steve Smith, loads more faces, and what's positive is that a lot of 'em will be at either Soulfusion this Saturday or Gloucester Wotton Hall niter next month! 2
Stillsoulin Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 many a good night had at the bristol hotel, not there that night tho,i spied esher as the dj.

Leon Thomas on Flying Dutchman Then one around 19:11 is Pharrell, Ivan Dewsbury's favourite 'soul' record of all time ))))) Edited January 15, 2014 by Sutty
mark and donna Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 thanks for that sutty and yes velvet hammer's happy is getting some mainstream exposure thanks to pharrell (and soulgirl on youtube). this song has been flogged to death on the scooter rally's since I can remember.
Wiggyflat Posted January 15, 2014 Author Posted January 15, 2014 Here's part 3.The funny thing is the same oldies are still being played all over the country now!.You would think that all the KTF merchants would be sick of them by now!. 1
Jerry Hipkiss Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Yes, but just look at the good time everyone's having!
Markw Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) Yes, but just look at the good time everyone's having! Jerry!! Don't start down that old road, please!! Otherwise the thread will just descend into the usual debate Edited January 15, 2014 by markw 1
manus Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Part 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sijqzQ6G9Ns&feature=youtu.be Great to see people actually enjoying themselves unhindered by the rules of the new puritans
Wilxy Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Great times remembered fondly of the Bristol Hotel.....I had a lot of hair and a lesser waistline in those days 2
Orotava Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Leon Thomas on Flying Dutchman How good did that sound at WC...
Benji Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 When I try and play it I get Blocked in your country? Any other way to watch it? Am blocked too There's a Firefox add-on called "Proxytube" to watch blocked YT videos. Will give it a try tonight.
Cheapsiderecords Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Am blocked too There's a Firefox add-on called "Proxytube" to watch blocked YT videos. Will give it a try tonight. Yes, Benji, found it on You Tube last night Unfortunately 1987 was prime changing nappies, working 7 days a week to support family, not going to Northern nights so I missed this and most local nights at that time as I had to be picky about where I went. 1
Guest in town Mikey Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Am blocked too Benji keeping it real, Gloucester style
Billywhizz Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Part 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sijqzQ6G9Ns&feature=youtu.be small world i had ovo copy of this send out to some one about 6 years ago billy ps put this on dvd
Guest in town Mikey Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Watched these last night. I see it is billed as the 2nd anniversary. There were of course regular nights there long before 1985. Upstairs more often than not. My memory is never great but who used to run the nights in the video? I remember Julie on the door, but for the life of me cant remember who ran these nights. Can someone help? I'd be interested to know if the success was largely due to persuading the landlord to let the nights move to the bigger downstairs area. I actually kinda liked the upstairs room, but downstairs seemed to attract a lot more people through the door.
Jerry Hipkiss Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Dennis Lee and Julie ran this one I think, but as you say there had been nights there off and on for years before that Mikey.
Billywhizz Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Dennis Lee and Julie ran this one I think, but as you say there had been nights there off and on for years before that Mikey. o yes they did

Guest MissFusion Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Er ... those of us in the video that have not been banned from Soul Fusion will be there ... ;-)
Ezzie Brown Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 very interesting.. ...got a few friends on the footage but for me its an insight into the local soul scene in gloucester that i completly missed out on for 25 years.. not really sure why know as i always loved the music while never going anywhere......the bristol had some big soul acts on in the 60s and i went to a few soul nights there in the early 70s. ez
Mark Oliver Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) Yes it was a great night, have a copy of this video that we watched just before Xmas. I seemed to spend the whole night with a walk on part as seemed to spend more time walking past in the background then on the dance floor. Great to see so many of the local characters, alongside those from afar. Have attached a copy of some of the original flyers. Mark (Gloucester) Edited January 18, 2014 by littlestanley
