Northern Soul acknowledged in Jubilee Parade

[Coolnotes]

Im very short of being a royalist but caught this on the Sunday Parade which displayed the UK's cultural history during the Queens reign . The lorry had dancers and there were a few dancing on the street . Needless to say "Do I Love You " got a hearing. It fell between Disco and Punk on the cultural continum . There was a time when the No Talc issue made a front page headline on the Keighley News .. but thats another story. KTF. Cool Notes .

Ha! Ha! yes!!!!  I expect Keir Starmer enjoyed the music - he was a regular at the Pier!

"Acknowledged" .... ?   

"Completely and utterly embarrassed" would be a more fitting title ...

When people ask me what music i like, i just say soul music. I have not used the word northern for years.

I must admit I never used it back in the day.  I was a Soul fan first and foremost.   Some of it was rare and uptempo. The term "Northern" Soul was seen by some as a little bit divvy.
