Least - Coventry

Most , widnes or warrington

Least ,chester or ellsmere port

Newton Aycliffe (Co Durham) must be in with a shout as top Northern Soul town - seem to remember John Manship saying on this forum (when the topic was debated previously) that he had over 30 people with NA addresses registered with his auction site

Oooh Hang on a minute,seems to me that you're from Barnsley

and you can't have that as an answer... and don't think that Baghdad

is in the UK (But it could be soon..)

I'm getting a bit lightheaded from the lack of a fag (stopped 3 days ago) and 3 glasses of red so far tonight put the first thing that came into my head.....I will stick with Barnsley though...fantastic crowd here.

Agree with the Chester comment but we're trying to educate the f***ers. Warrington 15 miles away heaving with proper people too. Whats the point of this thread exactly anyway? I bet theres not many in that town in Anglesey with 158 letters in its name but hey guess what theres loads in Manchester and London and Bradford and Barnsley and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I wouldnt worry about chester not having multitudes of soulies

It makes the cestrians who are soulies all the more unique

More underground like the scene is meant to be

Edited April 25, 200916 yr by Darren

per capita.

Most Goldthorpe, South Yorkshire.

Least Liverpool.

Thats it that many soulies in Barnsley,Pikey's as changed the question to suit Goldthorpe being in barnsley, so least soulfull place in Barnsley goes to Hoyland i like the place very much.

And Liverpool is ace but no nsoul and none in the junk shops,Chester sounds great.

BARNSLEY SOUL CITY

sounds good to me

but as she said he would say that wouldnt he

ps dunt tell evrybody tho we dont wunt it pollutin wi those soft suvern shandy swillin soulies

My first northern night was back in '85 at Stars Rollerdisco, Queens Rd Sheffield, but I'd say it was Staffs... Torch, Kings Hall...Keele (and I'm a Manc at heart!)... er...dunno

l have'nt a clue where the most come from, but l can tell were the least are.....

Wolverhampton, Willenhall (West mids ), Wednesfield, Bilston, Bushbury . there as got to be more but l think at the moment.

WOLVERHAMPTON???! That can't be right!! Can it??

Once upon a time, Wolverhampton was on the map with a large following of dedicated knowledgeable soul fanatic's, alas those days are over.................sad but true

Only one winner here....Burnley.

Only one winner here....Burnley.

Wrong....it has to be Cheltenham and Gloucester!!

Only one winner here....Burnley.

Used to go to the Cat's Whiskers in Burnley,Was a good night

A large Muslim community in Burnley,I heard they where starting a new Northern night ,Called "Urdu the Boardwalk"

most-a northern working class area e.g manchester "come ere while i shave your fukin ed"

least-a southern middle class are e.g home counties "the bucket residence lady of the house speaking"

I REST MY CASE AR KID

Watch it mate,cos l was stopped (quite rightly) doin the same thing ....Turban My Heartbeat up,Dubai love you; (hindi,hindu!!)

fredom of speech is no more my freind

Watch it mate,cos l was stopped (quite rightly) doin the same thing ....Turban My Heartbeat up,Dubai love you; (hindi,hindu!!)

A sad day when you can't use a play on words,

In no way or form was I trying to make a racist comment,

Not having a go at you mate,

Just a bit daft nowadays dont you think.

Wrong....it has to be Cheltenham and Gloucester!!

I was going to say Stroud as most per head.

Gloucestershire is the Northern Soul equivalent to London's have and have nots.

In London 2 streets can see a world of difference between the well off, and the not so well off. Its quite amazing travelling on busses outside of the West End, and seeing quite how different areas can be.

In Gloucestershire there is as strong a soul community as anywhere I'd wager. But while I grew up in a small town called Dursley, where there is a strong Northern Soul, and after that mod or scooterist tradition (Dave T will go back to the greasers and skins but thats WAAAAAAYYY before my time ). In fact most people know Paddy Smith patches on the rallys. Dursley Scooter Club boy.

Yet the closest towns to us, Berkely and Wooton have or had few if any soul fans that I know of. There was a guy from Wooton...Shuey?? was it? (I did hear before Chink Pearce got into punk he was a soul boy? Maybe he is the guy who sold my dad Dickie Wonder on Golden Triangle, and Ronnie Forte - Whisky Talking for a £1 the pair) But apart from that very few. Yet in Dursley, back in the late 70s early 80s, I could probably name 80-100 regulars at soul nights and to a lesser degree niters.

Edit. Webby, I cant believe the Exeter guys on here havent jumped on your first post either.

I think as a pennance you should get yourself down there sir.

Nah, 7% in my posh Surrey village are northern soulies, so that can't be right. Over in Croydon there are a surprising number of soulies, though it makes Shameless look like Surbiton in some parts of it, so that might explain it. Last time I looked Bexhill on Sea had no soul, but I'm fully prepared to be shouted down by the Zimmer frame contingent

Wrong....it has to be Cheltenham and Gloucester!!

int that a fookin building society

have just spent the week in liverpool its a northern soul desert

brill if you like the beatles

hard to understand really as the heartland of northern soul imho is centered along the m62 corridor and with 1 or 2 notable exceptions the rest of the country just dont get it

liverpool you would have thought would be a typical n/soul town

somebody prove me wrong ,am back there next week please

per capita in the uk it has to be Tranent in East Lothian Scotland half the village and their maws are into northern.

I'd have to say Stoke on Trent was a close first.

And before you ask !!!! no i'm not from Stoke.

The least soulful has to be anywhere down south

On that note i'm off

l have'nt a clue where the most come from, but l can tell were the least are.....

Wolverhampton, Willenhall (West mids ), Wednesfield, Bilston, Bushbury . there as got to be more but l think at the moment.

are you on drugs or somat? its a veritable northern stronghold - and apart from that wednesfield, bilston and bushbury are all parts of wolverhampton you numty!!!!

I am going to say the most is in Wombourne

I cannot believe that Pete Smith has made so many posts

I think H'es got over a thousand soul employees typing for him

The least -is in John O Groats - who they hell would travel up there for night?

Remember this being done before.. Also remember Kettering being quite a soulful town.

are you on drugs or somat? its a veritable northern stronghold - and apart from that wednesfield, bilston and bushbury are all parts of wolverhampton you numty!!!!
