Soul Sam - 80 years plus still enjoying spinning those Soul sounds at 1 in the morning- Skegness last night - top man

Some people will get it - some of us were there - others will miss the point - the interpretation of NS will go being debated for years - what was / what is and what about now - one things for sure the passion love and association makes me proud to have have been a part of it from 1975 to today and hopefully for a few more years - just enjoy the journey as it will never end 👍🏻

and black American ‘Northern Soul’ music of the 1960s so doesn’t include White Northern Soul - music of the 1960s

My research is specifically looking into the parallel between working class youths from northern towns So doesn’t include Southerners 🤔🤔

👍🏻👍🏻 Casino Stomper

Wife’s skirt and trousers plus jumper 👍🏻 Early 1981 - 100 club t shirt 👍🏻

Me on the outtakes with the flat hat on 👍🏻

Off the back of and old Lp

I brought this on a Saturday, 4 March 1978 - going to Peterborough all-nighter not even sure if it was St Ives - but they may have shut by then - Me and my mate traveled by bus up from South London to Cambridge then on to the nighter - he also brought a patch work leather but all brown mine as per photos is ox blood - still weighs a ton - went to the Casino in it once left it in the coat room up up stairs - did not expect it to be there in the morning but it was 👍🏻👍🏻 True piece of NS history

So they needed donations for the $8,700 headstone ? it’s a pity that James wasn’t appreciated by the people who have made the big bucks - shame on them 😡 Berry Gordy has an estimated net worth of $400 million Smokey Robinson is an American R&B and pop singer-songwriter, record producer, and former record executive who has a net worth of $150 million As of 2021, Diana Ross' net worth is $250 million Stevie Wonder is an American musician, singer, songwriter, and record producer who has a net worth of $110 million dollars

Wombat - only for the true 100mph dancers - just about as fast as it gets - very rarely gets played out especially most of us are that much older - I still remember walking into 1979 Coalville all-nighter buzzing my neck off hearing this and thinking - fuck this is going to be a good night - 👍🏻

Sometimes at events - I brought a few pair of baggies so they use to come with leaflets- I’ve still got my denim baggies and long leather patchwork coat ox blood cost £49 from Dave pink in Cambridge still got the receipt - the patch work denims had one patch where you could stash you’re gear / wrap - also when blazers were worn they usually had a soul badge this was sawn on with white elastic thread - again to slip a deal or a few pills behind 👍🏻👍🏻 Especially if you traveled to South Yorkshire, old bill the worst

This is how the leaflets were - usually thrown on a few tables

Back in 79 named my first boy Dean after him 78 in junk shops in South London picked up a Stateside copy of Determination for 10p when I met him while touring here I got him to sign my end of an era final night Wigan ticket - very humble man - I truly don’t believe he knew how big he was on the NS scene - RIP and thanks for you’re music 😢

Last time I saw Bub DJ was at Staveley - think it was a miners hall, it was that long ago you could still smoke inside 🤔 - whenever he was on, it lifted the room, always interesting what he was going to say between records, managing to get swear words in that seemed to fit 😂🤣 If you missed Bub DJing you’re loss - one of life’s real big NS characters 👍🏻👍🏻

Played at St Ives & Yate - massive tune at the time, bit poppy but filled the floors - RIP

Joey Dee instrumental, which is the side I remember being big, is the tune that goes through my head all the next day after an allnighter, even if it wasn't played! Masive back in the day St Ives / Casino - got another big re play around 1982 just after the Casino shut 👍🏻

from Brian Rae Was played at st lves and kettering ect ...

Great info - history and of course Steve ready for action 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Cheers Mick - it’s ok till the Mexico pipes come in then comes back strong with the horn section - I’ve asked Brian Rae if he can remember it being played at the casino - 100mph sound with a gram of wizz in you 😉😉 I’ll post if he reply’s 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

going through some old nighter in the car C90 tapes - I came across this - around 76 / 77 - anyone else remember venue or Dj who spun it 🤔🤔
