Yes it was Leeds with almost 7000 (claimed) attending & it was held in a kind of LOCOMOTIVE SHED it was absolutely bloody enormous, also freezing cold & there was no dance floor as such just temporary ones & the original floor which was part concrete & I seem to recall areas of rubberised material, which made it almost impossible to dance & I seem to remember going home filthy because of the muck & shite everywhere.Yes I was one of the fools who attended. :fool: The line up of acts was excellent but the acoustics in the cavenous place were terrible, so you couldn`t hear the acts or Dj spot very well . It seemed a great idea at the time & was a valiant effort (even if naive on reflection) but I`m afraid it was total & utter shite, worse soul do I`ve ever been to & I heard the guys who promoted it lost big time. It was to be the " Be all & end all" of Northern Soul, well it very nearly was the "End all". Never will it happen again,Take care & be safe, Spot.
