As already said superb music, however the music and the clothes don't go together. Might also send out the message  that  us Soulies  dance and dress like that .It also shows that you can't manufacture our scene. Regards Fred.

I always like to see young people enjoying this music. Agile and light on their feet. :)

OK many on that film will be mercenaries. But the girl in the red outfit (long skirt) is known on the UK scene isn't she?

If it's the same person - I'm always hugely impressed with her dancing.

Looks like a lot of fun.

Is this how they dress at the Italian soul nights?

In terms of costly gear, a made to measure suit with all the bells and whistles, back in the day, made gucci look like primark. At least a months wages for an apprentice.

I'm sure I've seen kit like that at the 100 club:)

Well I think it's quite cool ( apart from the choice of tune ) to be honest I would much prefer to be in a club with people dressed like this, rather than 40" baggies ( waist and width ) mind you any one who watches this and say's to themselfs " I'm gonna have a piece of this " is in for a shock when they walk through the doors of the local northern night at the   British legion 👀

Me Too 👍

I contacted the son of Duke Browner today about the Gucci promo ...... I've tried to talk to him for a number of years about collecting royalties but he does not seem interested. he is very polite but that's as far as it goes.

he said he has no 45s and no master tapes

I will keep on trying to touch base with him if only to see that Duke's wife gets some money

If some good come out of this...

This is a real head scratcher. First, the advert teases us up the stairs inside The Casino. The dance scenes have been choreographed in the way they were on the 'Northern Soul' film. The dancers know what they are doing and seem to be a mixture of Europeans and Americans drawn from a selection of soul scenes. So, there are some Northern dance movers, a few funksters, a couple of break-dancers and some acrobats. The Night is really a pop tune best filed next to The Snake, rather than a serious Northern dance track but some will quibble with that as it was played at some awesome venue... Personally, I liked the show but I would not be seen in Gucky clothes even if they were giving them away.

Anyone know any of the dance crew?
