If anyone does fancy an "oldies night" with a few of the faces in the video there is an oldies night at the Craigtay Hotel on the 13th May in Dundee.

I put the lack of shirts down to east Coast Poverty and got put down by City of Discovery Davie. God knows what's he gonna say about Dave's Homo Erotica jibe.

Can someone please volunteer to teach me how to dance like that!

In return I promise I will listen to all your stories about the good old days....

wow, absolutely sensational footage, just brilliant!

Special thanks to Danny Feeney for making this clip available

soulmac.

What's the music accompanying this clip? It's feckin' great.

Roger

Dodger, the track is by The Rimshots and is called Do What You Feel.

Great memories evoked by this video.

Well done!!!! Superb and well captured footage, has always amazed me how so many people in dundee and edinburgh are into northern soul still to this day. Guess that short clip from the 70's answers that.

Ta very much. Also got a PM about it and subsequently found it in the loft in amongst the vinyl. Great when you can discover music after all those years. Been polishing me shiny disco balls and having a 'strings'n'things' frenzy of late!!
