some neat moves there, i cant even stand still with rollers on, never mind dancing

If you Skate'n'Dance to a quite fast and frantic tune you may get away with it. Well, it does look a bit like the good shuffling style then! :lol: Mind you, dj'ing is a bit of a bugger I can tell you !!! :thumbup:

Me neither. It sounds like a Ric-Tic type thing. Who is it?

That was my much missed mucker Mark Draycott. He donned the skates & a witch's hat he found while rummaging in the dressing rooms upstairs and approached a bewildered brian rae and requested a record for me & my then girlfriend, it was probably around 6am. We cracked up, but a lot of people in there took it badly, due to the over ingestion of this and that, if you know what I mean.

Ooh this brings back painful memories!

We had an old cinema in Hull that turned into an under eighteens disco on a Sunday called "Wally's". Hull's Northernsoul Boys and girls would frequently pop in as Northern was played, I remember Peggy Scott "You got it all" being played almost on a loop?

Later Wally's was converted to a roller disco and my "Cool Crown" was taken from me as my skating ability was shat to say the least!

Roller Disco took off for a couple of years but there was such a chasm between those who could skate and those, like me, who just looked like a spaz!

ohmy.gif Wow..... thats my vid, first one I've made, didn't know it was up here. Was a bugger editing in the sound track ...the original was a shite jazz funk thing, got there purely by luck in the end. I'm trying to make unusual/funny vids with great northern tunes, so if anyone can point me in the direction of good footage I'd be very grateful.... in the meantime....here's one I prepared earlier
