Miss Wasperella

I personally like Ian Levine as a DJ

I would like to be cremated and have the following played:- Just love the lyrics 1. The Masqueraders - How 2. Sergio Mendez - Love Music 3. The Contemplations - Alone with No Love 4. Donny Hathaway - The Ghetto 5. The Undisputed Truth - Smiling Faces Will add to this

Went a few times and enjoyed it - very interesting place Also agree some good music played here

Thats the baby a speedo tube - gawd I loved that bag - I had to throw mine away after I found it rotting in a box in the shed - mind you I will admit I did try to revive it in the washing machine but it had definately seen better days :lol: Buttttt I still have a skirt from when I was 16 and will defo not part with that - in fact they could use it for a museum sorry gone of topic apologies

I knew you would come back with that - well it was round on either end like O==O I'm in stitches now

Thank you it does take you back - It really is true, time surely does fly, it only seems like yesterday since I was there. Where do all those years go, funnily enough I found my box of memorabilia the other day with both my 3rd and 4th Anniversary badges in. plus many others and even remembered my electric blue speedo bag which was round oblong shaped. Our gang used to sit upstairs next to Ladies Loos right hand side of stage and there was a spate of nicking badges off bags hence we all removed them and luckily enough I managed to hang on to mine. Many many happy days and fond memories of NS life as it was then "underground" and I for one loved it that way- Happy Days for sure - Thanks again Pete

Personally, I don't actually think Northern fits in with Modern dancing as Russ commented about styles above after all the beat is different I find it a tad grimmacing to see someone doing backdrops in a modern room - it always reminds me of a "Peacock" showing its feathers, although that might be just to show the moderners what they may be missing in the Northern room thats only my thoughts . At the end of the day people will do what they feel like doing but for me it is different. Its like someone attending Northern Soul and doing rock & roll and I have seen that before which is just wrong - again my thoughts

I did hear it will not be on as there is not enough time to sort everything out - boo hooo :-(

Well I just hope they revive it for Brid Weekender this year - lets have it xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Just would like to thank all you soul sourcers who replied to me for all your help with this - much appreciated - OMG you know your stuff xx thanks a million xx XX

Oh SIMON T Thank you so much - its just got that good feel factor for me - Absolutely love it xxx MASSIVE THANKS X

its hard to tell - sorrrrry - got it on a live recording from Cleethorpes last all nighter ;-)

Good evening - just wondered if anyone could help identifying a record and possibly the artiste - Think it may be called "Summer Time" very upbeat - would appreciate any help - Cheers - heard at Cleethorpes Winter Gardens and Clifton Hall early 80's. I've tried to find it myself but failed miserably - Massive thanks to anyone who can help x

Sooooo looking forward to this weekender x

My first experience was in 1974 at the local youth club - These guys hit the dance floor with very very smart clothes on and just broke out into backdrops and seemed to glide across the dance floor - the record they were dancing to was: - Seven Days Is Too Long - Chuck Wood - WOW they just made the record come to life, it was truly spectacular. I had never seen anyone dance to a record the way that these 6 guys did. This was certainly the turning point in my life as it was very different to what was on top of the pops and no one at school had heard about this or what dance they were doing when I spoke to my friends. We went back every week just to watch never daring to get on the dance floor. (Not the case now I am happy to say) At the Bridlington weekender last year I actually bumped into one of the guys who obviously did not recognise me but to me he hadn't changed in appearance and he still looked great and thats over 30 years ago. It would have been nice to see all 6 of them again - gawd how time flies Happy days

hope you don't mind me adding the tock tock......tock......tock......tock......tock......tock......tock......tock......tock......tock......tock......tock......tock......tock......tock......tock......tock......tock......tock......tock......tock......tock......

Absolutely love everything Marvin Gaye has ever done

Marvin Gaye - Whats Going on

Huge Thanks to you all for your replies, I have really enjoyed reading them for me.... The song/beat makes a good northern soul record and yet I have watched people on the dancefloor in their zone and bring a song to life, yet I can honestly say that I probably never gave the song a second thought and this really does intrigue me. Songs do grow on you for different reasons and I have played CD's in the car for years and all of a sudden a track will come on and it will remind me of certain dancers. I love watching people dancing and I love people interpreting the music within their dance. Sometimes I have not known the song but loved the beat and its actually got me up on the dance floor and then I think oops there could be a lull or the song/music could get quite fast in the middle which can be scary when you have never heard it before but its never stopped me getting up. At the end of the day I love Northern Soul music, I love dancing, I love the Scene, I love the friendly people and some I have not even met yet but have chatted with them on Soul Source and I have even enjoyed posting my first thread - hey who knows I may even post another one in 5 years time Thanks again x

Ooops I'm GUILTY of that too

Thanks for your response Bearsy - I reiterate your first paragraph above - I am partial to a variety and dance to suit all sorts of music

Well thanks for bringing the obvious to my attention and "urgh" would never have thought of that - but if you would like to read it again l Said what MAKES a good Northern Soul Record - sometimes I think "dancers" make the record a "hit" so to speak. But then you could have been nicer and just said one or the other - don't worry my armour is still in one piece

Well here goes for my very very first thread - it may be the only one too Don't think anyone has ever asked this but just out of curiosity thought I would find out for myself what you feel....... "What in your opinion" makes a good Northern Soul Record? Is it the actual song itself? OR Is it the Dancers that interpret the music that makes the Record Northern Soul Right I have my Armour on .....I've got my eyes shut and I am going to hit the button .............
