  1. A good shout not rubbish subtle and slightly muted maybe . For me Thumb a ride and that sax break never fails to hit the spot .
  2. A bit of a cliche, , "Soul as deep as you like and then some" a stunning sound .
  3. Ooooo me ears !! heard a bloke today in Buxton playing a barrel organ,he was dressed in victorian gear and playing some Andrew Lloyd Webber tune I was disgusted so should I have told him original punched cards only ?. Thank you confused of Stockport
  4. Sorry if you took offence if you can get away with baggies fair play to you I know that if I wore them now I would look like Spongebob . But they say you look great in a circle skirt Pete
  5. To me the term R&B was given to describe a type black popular music and is still used for that today , is it soul ? well I suppose it is if your definition of soul is the music that amplifies the black experience . As ever most pop music is crass and serves comercialism but if you scratch beneath the surface true soul is still there our scene has relied on that principle for years the future looks bright
  6. I,ll probably get hung for this but here goes ........... Who wants to look at pictures of balding overweight middle aged old gits dancing we may have looked cool 30 years ago but now we just look like uncle Knobhead at a wedding As for baggies and circle skirts dont get me started .............arghhhhh ....time for a Magoo and a lie down .

  13. There is a version of the Gordons Gin tune on an early Human League album called Travelogue IIRC.
  14. I have watched this thread for a while and seen it develop into a Northern soul snobfest brilliant A northern soul snob is one who looks down on those who enjoy the nostalgia events . A northern soul snob is one who refuses to aknowledge anything modern or post 79 . Which ever side of the fence your on if you are into Northern you are a snob I,m afraid it goes with the teritory .
  15. Mess (shit) on your hands - Millie Jackson from the album Hard Times

  19. Just read this entire thread and the memories came flooding back I loved a lot of these twisted tunes , We just danced to stuf without predjudice back in the day it was a good laugh . Here,s one DC Larue - Cathederals

  22. I have always loved instrumentals but could never understand what made them soulfull but even now after 30 odd years when I hear the sax break in Thumb a Ride it never fails to get me right there , thats soul . Least soulful Simon Sousans awful stylophone instrumentals .
  23. Tuesday Tiffanies in Ashton very slippy floor I used to fall over a lot Thursday Blue rooms Sale Friday Samantha,s Shefield Saturday Wigan Casino Sunday Any Alldayer loved the Ritz .
  24. Wow Alan what a great memory you have Stockport and Manchester were buzzin in those days . Blazes on portwood always left just before it closed I used to get beaten up there for some reason very few of my mates would go at the time . The Pendulem Manchester Sports Guild I went a few times on a friday IIRC . Barry Tasker still does a bit around Stockport . Malcolm Lear and lord thunder brilliant I remember him taking about six dancers out at Fairy,s social club with one of his legendary flailing spins what a guy is he still around ? The Blue rooms in Sale a very cool warm up for the coming weekend . Rowntrees wasnt there two venues one near Victoria station and one in Spring gardens ? I remember some sounds being played but not a definitive n/s night or did I just dream it . Happy times
