Northern Soul karaoke - ‘Our Ladies’ film.

[Frankie Crocker]

Just got in from watching the recently released ‘Our Ladies’ film set in Scotland. Reviews in the press were full of praise for this vulgar comedy, but no mention of the karaoke in the aptly named Pillbox Club was made. Half a dozen lasses on a schooltrip to Edinburgh end up on the razz, three of which end up on stage belting out a decent version of Tainted Love. Other soundbites included Love Reputation, He Who Picks A Rose and Let Me Down Easy. The dance floor had a few people dressed the part, moving as you do, and with the regulation acrobat thrown in for good measure - I wonder if someone can recognise any of the dancers? I enjoyed the film and can see it becoming cult viewing - I would certainly recommend it to those with a warped sense of humour. That said, I wonder if the inclusion of a Northern Soul karaoke scene set in a mid 1990’s club was for extra laughs, realism, to showcase good tunes to enhance the film or possibly revive an old trend? Whatever your thoughts, try to see the film if you get the chance.

Know quite a few of the dancers as they are all from up here, haven't seen the film yet though but saw all the pics of them when they were filming

Thanks for posting. I think the film will go down extra-well with folk north of the border. I thought some of the scenery was spectacular. I had planned a city break in Edinburgh last year but it was cancelled - I hope to be there before not too long so will be practising for the karaoke evenings
