The Cave is all set up for tonight's screening.......

Very nice Steve!

Just SOOO bad it's excruciating. The lead singer just flops around. Eric Bristow bangs the drums like Animal on the Muppets. One of the guitarists is miming to another song altogether. The dancers have stumbled in from the Bay City Rollers Fan Club wearing clothes that defy belief - one even has a soul patch sewn on his back. After this, the movie is Oscar winning stuff.

Very very sad video.

Northern Soul the movie is a bag of shite!. Fantastic soundtrack tho.

I've now got to explain that I wasn't one of the people who stuck needles in there arms ??

The film misses the fun and joy a bit and is a bit too dark and grim I felt.   It is made with care but did not connect with me.  In particular it misses the communal togetherness. The soundtrack is good.  The related picture book is well done too.

Have to agree with that.

IMHO of the time more "Carry on Collecting" than film noir.

Was ridiculously  grim talk about over the top , i wish people would just leave well alone , you just canot recreate the atmosphere so cant ever do those nights justice  prefer to keep my memories  as they were,
