Being that I've not been a member for too long, I wondered how many of you members of a Northen soul site were actually from the North,now that "Our Thing" has become global.

I'm a Salford Lad wot escaped to Heywood. So come it's only a bit of fun.

Cheers

Tony, Why don't you do a poll.. makes it easier and less public.. I mean some people might not want to admit they're from the North.. Hey Hey

But seriously.. Just click on the NEW POLL button at the bottom right of this topic and follow a couple of simple steps.

Stockport, Congleton, Newquay and now residing in Chelenham Spa, it's reet posh just like me ;o)))

Well really!

Who would not be proud to be born in the North??

In the spirit of unity we'll even accept peolpe from Yorkshire (but just this once mind).

Tony

can't say as i know many peolpe from that way on

Yorkshire born, exiled in Derbyshire, sunny (for the moment) Chesterfield.

yes but are you a peolpe?

South East.

Paul

Hi Tony

I live in Abergavenny south wales and you would be suprised to see the amount of people that are in to Northern Soul scene from South and west Wales, and think nothing to traveling 2.5 - 4 hours for a night out (once took me 7.5 hours to get to Whitby, what fantastic roads we have )

Andrew bin Valley Soul Commandos

Sheffield for 40 years

Im from Poole How South is that

Sheffield for 40 years

You don't look your 67 years at all... what youth elixre are you on Brett

Just kidding

Sheffield born and bred for me too but only 30 years unlike Brett's 40! lol

I get the impression that most folk on this forum are from the South. I am sure in time that more from the north will get involved. They have only just got rid of the cobbles on the M1 up here and some people still wave at aeroplanes. You dont see people throwing bread up at helicopters much these days so things must be progressing.

In the middle; where the world's got piles, "Riot Town" Boston in Lincs. Bought a one way ticket out many years ago. Saying that it has been the stomping ground for several "Soulies" including Andy Rix, Nigel Parker, Chris Modley, Dave Appleyard, Steve Handbury & now Paul 'Gazza' Gasgoine! And my mother, who loves J. D. Bryant and Paul Anka becuase he wrote "My Way"!!

And another Sheffield born soulster here. I left for Rotherham at the tender age of three (some walk) and stayed there until Derby at eight and Market Harborough my spiritual home at twelve. The drift south continued in 1970 to St Pancras and I've been half London and half Harboro in varying degrees ever since.

I recently visited a soul guru up in Rotherham, t'other week and it was only 5 mins walk from my old house. Unfortunately the area's still rather nice, which ruins the first two chapters of my autobiography. I'll have to get on the crack sharpish or it'll never sell.

Ady

Soulgirl, how rude...... you know that i live on a diet of "Fish Glue" and the old foul "White Horse Oil"

Ady i do believe you told me some time ago that your father was a Sheffield United man, what a fine and wonderful choice.

Shane

I moved to East London once.. and my family disowned me for moving to far North.. (thats still North of the Thames for us South London Boys)

Shane you do realise that your text today said " 2 people".......make that one................HA

I live on the south coast next to Portsmouth. Behind us there is nothing except water (and the I.O.W, but that counts as nothing anyway).

Therefore, everything from here is up north.

I was originally born in Wokingham (nr Reading), therefore, I am a northerner.

Am I not?

Lancashire born and bred, exiled in the West Midlands for the last twenty three years.

yes but are you a peolpe?

LOL, had to go back and read to see what you were ona bout. Isn't that plural? Whats the singular for peolpe?

Manchester (3 years but taking a break from soul nights!! DOH!)

London (Re-discovered the music thanks to breaking up with a girl, and an open Time Out with an advert for Maxine Brown at 100 club. Well its fate isnt it.)

mike

A proper Lancashire lass

I'm from Staines (nr Heathrow Airport), and please no Ali G quips, thank you.

Southampton. Bang in the middle of Poole and Pompey. Further South than those?

The Shire! Lanarkshire Scotland.

Close to where the Allanton niters took place for a few years (late 80's early 90's).

A niter which was years ahead of it's time IMHO, sounds broke and played there still doing the rounds on the scene to this day and DJ'S line ups,which reflected the progressive nature of this great genre of music which we are involved with.
