Well funny you should say that. Me & our peg went to Lowton Civic Hall's Northern Soul, our first ever NS nite last night. Totally, totally amazing. We travelled down the M6, a bit apprehensive not knowing what to expect ,and got there about 8.30. We pulled into the car park and there was only about 8 cars on there. We went in, paid our money and walked throught the double doors to the sound of horns and base. There was about 30 people there, so we got a drink from the bar, grabbed a table and sat down (near the dance floor as someone on here advised me to do). After about an hour the place filled up quiet quickly, the Dj dimmed the lights and the night took off. Someone esle said the music would never sound the same at home when you've heard it at a venue, and how right they were. Anyway as the night went on my feet under the table were shuffling along to the music. I think we'd been there about a hour and half and i hadn't even heard a track that i knew (which goes to show much good music there is in this scene). The missus said, "are you gonna get up", i replied "dunno all these lot are good dancers i'd feel abit embarressed". But the more i watched i noticed that no one was watching anybody else they were just in their own moment. So after about 10 mins i said "Bollocks to it, if one comes on i know i'm up". Three records later the moment came. So up i got. What an amazing feeling of just letting yourself be ruled by the music. I dont know how it looked but after that i was up and down all night.
Hooked is not the word. I'll be defo going to the 21st anniversary In Feb next year and hopefully a few different ones before.
Thanks to everyone on here for their info and comments of support.
They'll be never any other kind of music for this lad again only SOUL !!!
