My Grandparents were into the Big Bands sounds popular in the dance halls of the 40's. My parents were into the Rock & Roll music of the 50's. Both these Genres were Hugely more popular than NS, yet with the exception of the odd 'Theme' night and the usual Jive Bunny Mega mix at your Grannys 50'th wedding anniversary Do, they are pretty much forgotten. Why Will Northern Soul be any different?.

What he said. If you hear any Northern Soul music in 20 years time it'll likely be accompanied by a Coffin disappearing behind a curtain.

Tell 'em you are a trainee Gynaecologist....... you've gotta' start somewhere.

No, His Grandads just told him City have payed £50m for John Stones.

It's interesting that you joke over this Ste (we do the same our side) yet I understand Halton has the highest cancer rates in Europe........ cant think why?.

They've never had Water, Schools or Clogs in Ditton Pete..... although I believe a new six toed Clog shop opened there last week.

Gorgeous views Ste. Although I remember a time when you'd have preferred this one ......

Owned an SX and LI back in the day Ste, but big Jap 4's were always my first love.

Right....time for something a little less organic. My December 1976 Kawasaki Z1000 which has been my little project for the last couple of years.....

Shouldn't it read 'Johnson's Talc - Sending Pensioners to A&E since 2005'.

Remember this being Huge at Station Rd, but it's never had that much turntable time since. Which is a shame given it could replace some of the overplayed crap that gets murdered every week today.

Given the crap some of todays talentless and lazy DJ's try and pass for Northern Soul, I'd take a night in with '21' anytime.

'Awesome'. Why when someone does the most basic simple task do people say 'That's Awesome'.. 'High school'. Seem to remember it being 'Senior School' when was a kid. 'The gift that keeps on giving'. Another of those Americanisms that now make up more and more of our lingo.

Back in the day we'd travel endless miles to unknown places usually via public transport at silly o'clock at night in all weathers. Suffering all manner of abuse and hassle from not only the local pi55heads, but the local plod who thought we were the North-Wests answer to Pablo Escobar. Yet I loved every minute of it, as It was all part of the danger and thrill of the underground scene I was into while most of my mates were down the local pub trying to pull the barmaid over a pint of warm mild. These days there are endless venues within a nice warm 5 minute car journey from me, yet I can't be arsed with any of them. I travel a lot less these days as I don't do Niters anymore and most local type nights (with the odd exception) are little more than pensioners discos.

Many Congrats Ste.... , although he's better looking and got more hair than his Gramps..

VERY sad news, Biff was a top guy and a top DJ. RIP John.

Very Nice....... Now FFS get your finger out and get the fookin' bridge finished, all these road works are proper pi55ing us all off!.

What a crap spot!. No Frank Wilson, or his Brother Al. No Muriel Gray, or her Brother Dobie. Everyone knows that can't be Station Rd. Thanks for Posting Chalks.

Maybe they've all gone to Prestatyn Ste. Ours a few years ago in the snow......

Melba Moore as a backing track to making chocolates.

Always looked forward to Prestatyn Ste, but it's not for me these days. Debs will be there with her usual entourage though. Have a good weekend Fella.

We're good thanks Ste. I just took the tax out of the windows and left them parked on bricks on the drive so no one would notice. You off down the 'Principality' next weekend?.

Some of my old Rag Tops....... Vauxhall VX220. Built to promote the re-launch of the VX marque by Vauxhall who contracted Lotus to built it (based around the S2 Elise). Usual fantastic Lotus design & handling - usual Crap Lotus Build quality. Next was the TOTAL opposite. Audi TTR 225 Roadster. Fantastic build quality - Soulless Handling (a Golf in a party frock) Also, for some reason people kept asking me for a short back and sides?.... And EASILY the best of the lot. Honda S2000. The S2K was well built with great handling and one of the finest internal combustion engines EVER made.
