They also made you able to dance longer to some fantastic records.....

Huge at Wigan, rarely heard since....... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svU3It5aj7M

........ or even Billy Butler - The right Tractor

As the game is against Norwich will they play 'Turnip my Heartbeat Up'?......

Always loved this track and whenever I hear it (which is rarely, sadly) is one of those tracks that instantly puts me back at Station Rd. A full floor dancing AND clapping to this was truly fantastic. And I wonder how many Jocks were caught out by that ending?..

Interesting Dave that your above post just shows how far removed todays scene is from the one most of us grew up with....... Northern Soul - A Way of Life Where did it all go wrong?.

....... a pair of Spencers?..

Was wearing 'straights' all the time by the start of 78, though did continue to wear my baggies at Wigan for several months after (better to dance in), so presume this makes me a fully paid up Tourist Div. I'd go and stick some more fake patches on my Adidas bag but this got nicked in 77. 'Push Div's off the Balcony' eh?.......

Dance Class outtakes I think......

Dunno..... but defo remember a floor full of girlies at Wigan when it was played circa 77.

Be nice to have a 'proper' Wigan night where some of the above lesser know tracks could be played out instead of just the usual Casino parody nights were the promoter thinks that sticking a night owl badge on a flyer and playing the MVP's and Frank Wilson makes it the real deal.....

Heard this a few years ago, proper dancer....... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82UTDk0Fymk

Fab track, only time I've heard it played out was Prestatyn a few years ago.

Remember this being Huuuuuuge...... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpKAudLr7p0

Peggy March had a brief comeback a few years ago. Not heard Stemons Express since the Jurassic period though (great track).

The Night watch - From the Lips to your Heart. (CU as The Ellingtons - Long long way) The Pallbearers - Music with Soul.

More crap Pop tunes from that old Disco on Station Rd you're forcing me to go and listen to again Pete...... Even after 35 years those first few bars of Cecil Washington still make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up....... a truly awesome tune. Thanks for posting Pete.

I bet Diversity are Sh*ting themselves.....
