The usual suspects will no doubt be there in all their glory....

Count me in, I live for stuff like this. Can't wait to get.... "Out on the floor".

 

That "few simple steps" walk from the left a bit, make 'Egyptian diety' hand; walk back again and then throw hand to the back of your napper as if swatting an aggressive hornet. Proper. 

 

Might round up the Darby and Joan club and see if we can better that most spiffing Blackpool flash mob performance. 

 

KTF, DFS, KOKO, WOL, SWALK etc ad infinitum 

[Geeselad]

shoot me now!

[Rick Smith]

Anybody ever heard Frank Zappa's 'Dancin Fool'

Just rang a bell.

You've forgotten 'BFWAGP' Black Fist Without A Glove Puppet....

[Winnie :-)]

I'm really hoping it's a trick, and those in attendance have to unload Argos lorries, in a swaying rhythmical way of course

Man, you've gopt those dancing moves down to a tee.....What about the teapot pose at the end of the steps and before going back?

[Winnie :-)]

I've got a feeling I do that, am I in?

Years of training son, that tea pot hand is particularly tricky to do whist remembering to breath, blink, maintain bodily functions etc. Not easy this Norvun Wigan Walk stuff.

 

next.. How to walk AND hold a conversation at the same time.

Dont know about Darby ... but I'm sure Joan wont be too pleased at being volunteered!!

Thought she'd jump at the chance.

[Guest MrC]

Thought she'd jump at the chance.

 

  I'll ask her.

[Guest Chris61]

Don't shoot me now, shoot me later I want a good laugh.

[Mellorful]

Could be doing them a great disservice, it might not be what you are expecting

 

[Mellorful]

Is this the Bolton Argos dance studio where they meet for dancing lessons?

 

The dance teacher showing em the steps...........

 

At the next event I hope to see everyone using the right steps

[Quinvy]

Bugger off, we're all too old. 

[Frankie Crocker]

Has Bolton got Soul? Do Wanderers supporters still throw darts at away fans? Has Bolton University lowered its entry requirements to allow anyone with a pulse in? It is good to see a local newspaper addressing the deep philosophical issues of our time. So, will Sandy be combining his Kung Fu moves on roller skates with Thai Boxing steps, complete with beer towel tucked into waist, towelling wrist bands and black-fist necklace to boot, be leading the formation dance troup?

[Keeper]

Three simple moves it said ........

F**K , RIGHT , OFF    !!!!

 

There's yer three moves !! Simple !

[Guest Dave Ward]

The last time I went to an away game v Bolton, I found that they had given up the dart throwing due to the scrap value of feathers rising to £1 a tonne.  I liked Fred Dibnah though, he had really long ladders.

I live in Bolton and remember this guy from the Nevada he was always into disco as I remember,and wasn't a bad dancer as it goes.Dont think he was ever into northern and don't think this has anything to do with northern either,and it doesn't say it has.

[Pete Eccles]

Don't remember him much from the Navada (although every Boltonian of a certain age went at some point), Phil worked the doors in town most weekends from being a teenager, Scamps, Nags Head, among others, don't remember him being into Northern much either, has been putting 70s nights on of late at various venues

Include me out yet again, I can do simple, but not when you have to do dance steps as well, that's too taxing

The Facebook page, which I've eagerly joined as I'm in dadyio calls it a Northern Soul project in big bold letters. Oh... And the only record posted on the FB page is The Snake... Twice

 

going to be quality this

As I said don't ever remember him being into northern in any way,but wont be losein any sleep over it.But as most know plenty of Bolton lads and lasses been on the scene for years,doubt any will give it a second glance.

[dedji1955]

Andy, You might be right about it not being Northern

I was talking to someone who went along to one of the practice sessions at Rumworth and he said they where told they are aiming for 100 people dancing in Deansgate.. So the flashmob remark looks pretty accurate

It was no surprise to find out they practiced to "The Snake as it was claimed everyone knew that from Weddings"

Fred check the link in the article you posted, the facebook page, it has the words 'Northern Soul' all over it, and some familiar names on there too, not that it matters any more anyway,

They can call it what they like fred and a few on here can get ther knickers in a twist as much as they like,till there,s something else to moan about lol.Its nothing to do with any northern scene I know,here today gone tomora.

[Guest Dave Ward]

I thought t'Nevada was a roller skate disco ?

[Soultown andy]

saw the blackbirds there one nite plus dozens of others fred.

[Pete Eccles]

Was brought up 500 yards from the Nav, up until being old enough to get into pubs I was there at least 6 nights a week, great times, and on the Saturday nights there was always at least some Northern played,

Used to teach the kids Skating on Saturday mornings, and worked the 'spotlight' Tuesdays and Thursdays, a sad day when the senile old owner burned it down

[Citizen P]

Hope they play some classic Millie Jackson..

 

Phuck U Symphony should fit right in..

OMG!! :facepalm:  The scene is fooked

[Guest]

Sandy Holt, Thai Boxer, also took part.

He said: “It was great, I was the Northern Soul Champion of Wigan but most of the people who took part have not danced before.”

[Guest Byrney]

I actually found that far less embarrassing than the Blackpool Weekender Butterbeangate fiasco, been trying to work out why and I think it's that the Bolton shoppers are just that, members of the public doing what members of the public do having a bit of a giggle.

The Blackpool Weekender flash mob were actually on a soul scene (well kind of) and deadly serious.

Nowt to worry about here.

That is 'kin horrific - sorry       

[Guest Byrney]

That is 'kin horrific - sorry       

Your very right though, it's quite dire. But given the ground being set by the happy happy joy joy nostalgia promotions and nighters, the Okeh Cokey and baggy Blackpool dervishes and of course the Morris / Norvun off it's kind of inevitable. :)

[Frankie Crocker]

Sandy Holt, Thai Boxer, also took part.

He said: “It was great, I was the Northern Soul Champion of Wigan but most of the people who took part have not danced before.”

True up to a point as Sandy Holt won a competition at a Wigan Anniversary. He was eliminated in an early round a year later for not actually dancing but going through a rehearsed routine choreographed in his bedroom mirror practising to a Carl Douglas soundtrack watching David Carradine King Fu programmes. Sandy became the stereotype that legions of acrobats sought to parody, a trend that sadly lingers on to the chagrin of the scene.

New Oldsmobiles are in early this year.

[Hooker1951]

Reports of a giant snake in Bolton slithering around with people following it doing strange body movements.

[Hooker1951]

where,s Steve Irwin when you need him.

[dedji1955]

where,s Steve Irwin when you need him.

He might be needed in Wigan soon Mick

There advertising for Dancers in the Galleries for a similar event

[Hooker1951]

just what is happening with this snake job is it some kind of secret cult.. Snakes in Bolton, making their way to Wigan.escaping from houses in skemersdale,opening the commonwealth games. Could Russ W. Be behind this cult it's very worry,ing send for the Soul Patrol before it's to late.

[Tattoodave]

Sounds like a Simpson's style "Whacking Day" is needed!
