Guest Ste Brazil Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 just out of interest really, it was all depeche mode and flock of seagulls at my youth club Harlem shuffle / Skiing in the Snow & Black power spring to mind and loads of obvious Motown - This was mixed up with other 60's Mod stuff and The Jam - Early 80's. Ste.
The Tempest Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 R Dean Taylor , Tammi Lynn , and Derek and Ray all spring to mind , a village hall , with about 200 kids on a thursday night , supervised by 4 elderly women !! Disco's were comical , huge groups of people standing around whilst they played three record sets to trying to please everyone !!!! The soulies set was normally between the skinheads and rock n ' roll bits , Youth is definetly wasted on the young !!

Guest Adam G Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Depends on what years you went to Youth clubs.from 1978 I used to go to different youth clubs everynight of the week in Middlesbrough. To hear Northern which was as was the norm in 20 min sets against charts,punk,ska. Then once a month Newton Aycliffe all nighter on Friday which on average was populated majoritly by 13-20 year olds from all over the Northeast.( incidently this was the first place I know of that had a seperate modern, funk room well the tarmac covered gym!) so for me Danse ala music - french fries Summer in the parks- east coast connection Send him back-pointer sisters something kinda melow- johnny williams Find my way cameo captin of my ship vibrations do me right - Denise la salle Janice- skip mahoney better to have - don covay and lots and lots of others.

Guest geordiebri Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 We had it tough at our youthie, my first foray inot Northern was to the strains of the following, Out on the floor The Snake Needle in a Haystack The Night (First record I ever bought) Magic Potion The Cheater You get the picture, but I was only 12 & It honestly opened the doors to heaven for me at that young impressionable age!

Guest Fatius Bumius Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Mood Mosaic - Touch Of Velvet Wigans Ovation - Ski-ing In The Snow Poppies - Pain in My Heart Chairmen Of The Board - Dangling on A String Marvin Gaye & Kim Weston - It Takes Two Velvelettes - He Was Really Saying Something R Dean Taylor - Ghost In My House Gloria Jones - Tainted Love Murial Day - 9 Times Out Of 10 MVPS - Turning My Heartbeat Up (that's when the older folks danced their arses off and we younger ens stood there in amazement) Probably a couple more northern soul tunes i'd never heard but the older ones obviously had and their enthusiasm for the dancing got me a bit hooked. Those listed up there ^^^, I bought 'em all, boot, original, I didn't care and wouldn't have known anyway. I even thought buying Wigans Ovation LP was the dogs danglies Then it went to Billy Ocean - Red Light Spells Danger, O'Jays - Backstabbers then it was time for the latest two-tone and Jam stuff, along with March Of The Mods tune, what the chuff, and we'd dance to it ..anyone else get March Of The Mods at their youth club?
