Northern Soul Pool Party??


Paul-s

Recommended Posts

It's possibly my age, but I wasn't aware of a Northern Soul Pool Party scene. But it's advertised here. I would be interested to hear what this is if anybody knows. Perhaps there are certain tracks that are played such as:

Wade in the Water - Marlena Shaw

C'mon on and Swim - Bobby Freeman

Waterfall - Jimmy Cliff

It Keeps Raining - Fats Domino

Maybe there are certain DJ's like Russ Swimstanley?

Who knows....who knows?

Don't think it was a dream. I'm also pretty sure I remember seeing an ad in B&S for something like that. Was it Whitchurch possibly? ISC were doing several things at the time, mostly, from what I can recall, all-dayers on Sundays.

From what I remember, it was Market Drayton, and advertised as Bar B Q and splash. I remember the ads in B&S. Summer of 73 and definitely ISC. It's funny, I can't remember what I did yesterday, but remember an advert from a magazine 47 years ago!

Maybe it's a pool revivalist movement then..

At the risk of being accused of lacking a sense of humour, it all looks pretty cool ... so, not sure what the issue is . And Mallorca sure beats Blackpool doesn't it ?

That's a disgrace, we are soaking in 24 degrees, as we speak here in Lancashire......whoops time to wake up🥵

You can get line dancing lessons here in Blackpool (don't tell me off Mike) 😀

Spot on Chalky.

 We didn't do posh hotels

We didnt need dance classes

We didn't do gourmet food (or any food)

We didn't drink cocktails.

We did't ride fake Lambrettas (those auto replicas on vid)

We didn't do mainstream.

But you weren't 50+ with lots of disposable income.  Not my idea of fun , but nothing to get wound up about.

Too late. Keith Fletcher's been organising a twice yearly soul cruise from Hull to Rotterdam (and back again) for some years.

Bloody hell.....its as if I can imagine something, mention it, and it's already out there chugging along. 'Captain of My Ship' comes to mind. You can probably do a bit of fishing or crabbing as well I imagine.

Oi. What's up with fishing 🤔😁

Hey, I've fished all my life, but not at a soul events. But I do remember checking if anything had been caught at the back of one venue where there was gravel pits, maybe it was the Fleet, I can't quite remember ?

Talking of soul cruises, just seen this, some nice places to visit with some choons on the decks.

Looks like a lovely holiday, but I would never want to mix my holidays with 'Norman Soul' - Each to their own though (of course)

Ady's Cleethorpe's weekender had a 'proper' pool party every Sunday night - God knows how everyone survived! (I don't think that was planned though) ((The pool party that is, not the whole weekender)) :wink:

And a DJ line-up that would put those that followed to shame. Several DJs are now feted as Gods, and regardless of their reputation, they couldn't hold a candle to any of those three. Oh to listen to me old mate Martyn for one more hour. I'd die a happy man.

'Boffins of Ballyhoo' defo a copyright Mick Lyons that one :D 

A few years back I was at a do (can't remember where) Was only myself and another dancing to somat, and a p*ssed up girl was dancing all over the place, even bumping into just the two of us who were on the dance floor at that particular time!  After the record had finished, the guy came over to me with a big smile on his face and said......"Had that been a bloke I would have decked him!"......Of course I said......"Me too!".....(He didn't know I had only one fight in my entire life under my belt) Anyway, we simply shrugged it off, and didn't get too bothered by the p*ssed up girl (Who was having a wail of a time!)

Point being - This was a few years ago, but going by what I read, it seems that these sort of manageable situations have now turned into some events being top heavy with more people like this than us lot.

Depends where you go for now......

Len :thumbsup:

P.s - I saw 'SlipKnot' last night :shhh:

SlipKnot - now there’s a change from Northern Len ... did you wear a mask and get in the Mosh pit ... 

Went to see Norman Connors - with Lonnie Liston Smith and should have been Ronnie Laws at the Indigo on Friday night - very poor ... although the Starship Orchestra where good and Lonnie held his own .. all getting old I guess .

There was a guy there I nearly decked as he kept tokin on a Vape right in front of us .. and never stopped talking all the way through the gig ..
