Hi to all our soul family. Many of you are aware that Trudy had a slip on the dance floor at the Midland Band Social Club last April ( on slipperine) she fell so badly and has struggled since then and had to go private to try and sort her problem out. We went to see a consultant who told us the results today. Due to the bad fall it damaged her motor neurone nerves and its early stages of motor neurone disease. We are both devastated by this news.  PLEASE don't put talc or slipperine on the dance floor it has ruined our lives. We have to go to Addenbrooks hospital Cambridge to a specialist motor neurone clinic for further treatment
P.S think before you put this stuff on any dance floor at any soul event up and down the country on the Northern Soul scene. I'm a very angry person 😡

As I've said on so many occasions, footwear is very important, any floor additives are dangerous, and at our time of life possibly life threatening, as with Trudy her life has changed massively through someone else's selfishness, Trudy was such a good , energetic, graceful dancer , her life hasn't been taken from her through Talc or Slipperene , OR HAS IT 

I've just seen this post on Facebook & shared it - talc can be absolutely lethal! I really sympathize with Karl & Trudy.

I also know quite a few who people who suffer from breathing problems due to spending years breathing in the stuff on dance floors up & down the country.😢
