I wonder if there's any of us left who could still dance to Pat Powerdrill?.......

Anyone know who this guy is on his way to Wigan in 1973?...... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Mq59ykPnAE

To save an hour of your life here's a summary...... Back in the 60's a Mod from the Smoke moved up Norf' and got a job at the local Pit, he then swapped his scooter for a 2 up - 2 down Terrace and half a pound of Black Pudding, then spent all of the 70's dancing around the local bingo hall to Sugar Pie Honey bunch, except for a short period when a rich bloke from Blackpool played some Disco tunes he didn't like. However all the DJ's who invented Northern soul in the first place got together and sorted all the rubbish out so now all the Young souls only have quality rare soul to listen to like Duffy and Tribute. Sadly however he died on the 31/12/79 after overdosing on his Whippets worming tablets which he mistook for Chalkies.

I never knew Coal Miners lived in London!.

Where did the old dance footage come from?....... it's not This England!.

So just what is a PROPER Northern Soul Record then?....... See track one. Fab once again Pete.

Another great selection Pete....... Herb Ward and The Tempests..... just Fantastic

........... and still sounds just as good as the first time Dickie played it at Station Rd.

What about the 'Ultimate Northern Soul Party Mix'...... https://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Party-Mix-Northern-Soul/dp/B00IX1S7TY/ref=pd_sim_m_h__6?ie=UTF8&refRID=0GHKF183RCEPB1AVQK8F

Interesting just how much has been 'lifted' from his Northern Dance....

A nice Lycra vest top could be just the thing to show off your latest Northern Soul Tattoo....... https://northernsoultattoo.co.uk/

The final nail was hammered into the NS coffin and buried 6' under many years ago. And fat pensioners have been taking lessons on how to dance on it's grave ever since.

Thanks for posting Pete... Not heard the Paul Sindab track in decades, come to think not heard 'Do whatcha Wanna Do' in years either.....

Can't see it happening again. Although if the present 'Circus' that's now hijacked the scene decides to move to something else, and we could get back to something that resembles the scene that we all signed up for back in the day, then it may have a chance again in some small way.

Some nice stuff on that 2nd CD, sadly it would clear the floor at most 'Local Soul' nites quicker than a shout for Last Orders. But if a few of them buy the CD after seeing the Film then they might realise there IS more to Northern Soul than Moses Smith....

That Soundtracks Crap!. Why couldn't they have included some Proper Northern like Duffy, Ruby Andrews or even Tribute.

RIP Keith. A great guy and a great DJ......

Like this?...... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyi66Iza9Sg

The Blues....... what else!. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIvka3SSv9Y&feature=kp

...... or Throng.

When many of us first got into Northern Soul we just didn't get on the floor and "Do what we felt to the music", we thought that out of respect we'd learn a 'Northern Soul dance'. You really don't need any lessons to construct a basic 2-step Northern type dance, so there really is no excuse to dance like your Dad no matter how much your 'Feeling the Music'.

Northern Soul - Where did it all go wrong?.....

'Cool and Fun'...... apparently https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Northern-Soul-Baby-Grow-Baby-Suit-Funny-Fun-Cool-onesie-/330674728774?pt=UK_Baby_Girls&var=&hash=item4cfdbfef46

Yep!...... it's Finished!.
