Early seventies listening to tamla down at the Beachcomber, but the 1st Northern to get me HOOKED was late 73 around the time the Casino opened we had a club in ASPULL called The Pink Elephant and i remember going in there one Thurday night and heard THE VELOURS IM GONNA CHANGE and i certainly did !!!!!

Cant hide from the fact it was a big record down at Wigan early days 74 ish !! remember it well being played like Pete says we cant hide it from our past we were young lads then, just beginning on our Northern Soul adventures naive, ignorant, what ever you want to call it, but i wouldnt have changed it for anything, the record itself ??? not going to comment but life goes on !!!! And so does Northern Soul...

  12. Pete agree 100% the clapping has gone dont know why, its a pity only the odd time at certain venues you may get a little clapping,it was really as important in them days to clap as was the footwork etc etc, my partner never went to Wigan but now shes got a better insight and feel as to what it was all about....
