Guest Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) Just seen an advert for Shredded Wheat today showing a Northern soul enthusiast dancing its on ITV stepping back in time ? sorry cant copy link Edited January 12, 2015 by Guest
Mike Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 here are... The 30-second ad, which is called "soul man", was created by McCann London and breaks today on ITV during an episode of Coronation Street. A two-minute version of the ad will also run online. The spot opens with a husband and father from Shrewsbury called Dave, who also narrates the spot. Dave had to give up his great love — the early Northern Soul scene — when he had a family but has now thrown himself back into the lifestyle, and the dancing. 30 sec 2min https://www.brandrepublic.com/news/1328702/shredded-wheat-launches-live-heart-campaign/

Winsford Soul Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 What's with the negatives people. It may even bring more young soulies onto this scene that's been my life for forty years. Hope Dave made a few quid out of it. Steve

Raremusicdirect Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 With research they may have found that its not necessarily a scene conducive to or equating to good health for the most part..............especially heart related campaign........... :-( Guess its jumping on a trend ............
Guest Matt Male Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) I remember it well... "Eh mate, got any shreddies...?" I could manage two, but if you did three you were up all week. Edited January 12, 2015 by Matt Male
Guest Byrney Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Having watched the two minute ad iI'll offer my standard response to things of the ilk Sweet baby Jesus and the orphans
Zed1 Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 With research they may have found that its not necessarily a scene conducive to or equating to good health for the most part..............especially heart related campaign........... :-( Yep!, someone should have told them the wide eyes and fast chewing wasn't excitement to eat another Shreadded Wheat
Russoul1 Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 will this be a cereal advert..... watch out for a new soul venue - shredded wheat heart and soul club
Guest Matt Male Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 So that's why I had a dry mouth at the end of a weekend. Not enough milk!
Wicked Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 always did weetabix myself, the comedowns weren't so bad

Hope Dave made a few quid out of it. Steve No money changed hands, but he did secure a lifetime's supply of a certain high fibre breakfast cereal.
Quinvy Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Bobby Angelle, I can see everyone looking for copies as we speak. They'll be one on Manship's auction before long, and it'll be a grand. Why oh why the fancy dress?
Veedub Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Do these folk wear their old school uniforms during the day ?
Guest Carl Dixon Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Love it. I wouldn't wear the gear, but I think it looks the part. Maybe the shoes....

Guest Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) Yet more commercialization of the Northern Soul scene!!This is what happens when people decide to Use it, to make money or fame for themselves!I knew that film would just end up making a mockery of the whole thing again! Edited January 12, 2015 by Guest
Billywhizz Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Shredded Wheat ffs. Bobby Angelle going in sales right now lol Thats my girl, lol
Wicked Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 70's fashions and middle aged men (and women), not a good mix is it? His son thinks he's cool though.
Back Street Blue Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Shredded Wheat my arse.... ..You only wore those threads in the days when people went "to work on an egg"
Steve L Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Eat 4 shredded wheat and you too can dance till dawn……………….. Yet another low point, how much more can a person take
Chalky Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Anyone eating shredded wheat after a nighter would still be chewing it today lol
Winsford Soul Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Eat 4 shredded wheat and you too can dance till dawn……………….. Yet another low point, how much more can a person take Obviously not 5 shredded wheat Steve
Chalky Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Can you imagine, services after a nighter, all on SW, dry mouth Folk would be spitting it all over the place, everyone would be coverd in it
Quinvy Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 On the clothes thing. The guys are bad enough, but to see fifty year old woman in flared skirts with ankle socks and covered in tattoos I find repulsive. I never went to Wigan, but I don't ever remember seeing lasses dressed like that in the seventies.
Ted Massey Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Dan Stubbs, Daves son is almost certainly the best dancer on the scene today
Guest Mellorful Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Healthy lifestyle what !!! Half of us are fecking dead . Is that because those that have passed away didn't eat enough Shredded Wheat?
