spike1 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Just found this on my old messages Did anyone else respond to this ? What happened to the answers that we gave ? Spike Steven pike Male 6/9/1959 1,male 2,married For 30 years this September we met when I was going to allnighters and still go to the twisted wheel soul sessions 3, yes both grown up and left home 4, what attracted me to the scene? As i have an older sister by 4years, Circa 1969/70 she hung out with the local crowd who were either older guys mods or 16/18 year olds who were skinheads. To a young impressionable 11/12 year old these were THE GUYS! The clothes the look the music the way they danced at the youth club. They got all the girls they stood out that is what I wanted to be. We tried to copy their style short hair boots,bracers ,Ben shermans . I used to borrow my sisters Fred perry and her sta-press The music was either Motown or ska to us. never heard the term northern soul till much later when I did I thought that it meant music from north America !!!! 5, the style the music the dancing Being different bring part of an underground scene 6,belonging to an elite group (everyone else was a div) We were the best dancers Smartest dressed The mellow fellows! We travelled the country every weekend met new people made life long friends 7, in some ways yes 8, dress style dance style music taste 9, now like to dress more mod/skinhead style rather than the baggies still wear perry polo shirts for dancing though 10, I do not feel part of "the scene" because I only regularly attend one venue twisted wheel Manchester By the nature of the clubs music policy only records that were played at the Origanal wheel are played. I do not feel part of the soul scene as a whole just a part of it 11, yes from 1976-80 12, Samantha's Wigan Coalville Peterbough Wakefield Plus alldayers Notts pally Matlock bath Bailies Sheffield Abbydale road Sheffield 13, yes twisted wheel Manchester for the last 4 years 14 n/a 15, mmmm Aledgedly! Danced danced danced buzzin like a bee 16, dance dance dance then rest rest rest no buzzin! 17, get as many as you could allegedly 18, Oooh say Nothing that I would later rely in in a court of law 19, totally against all drug abuse as I am now older and wiser But it has always happened since the late 1950s Youth culture will always try it it's a killer and wrecker of life's but you only usually find out the hard way People of my age should know better! 20 yes 21, an old soulie yes Part of the new post Wigan scene no Cos I stopped going in 1980 So I do not have any empathy with the modern upfront soul scene And I often meet people who invent their past to look good? Me I'm just passing through Keep the faith Hope that this is helpful in your quest for knowledge Get down to the wheel ask for spike (that's me) And I will introduce you to some real old soulies guys who went in the sixties Cya Spike Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
