Hey Ed, you do make me laugh, given your dopey posts on here, you are now asking for evidence of others! here are... I talked about this to Dave Rivers about it back in the early 2000s, he told me back then that's where he clocked it ears wise, The Sopranos, that conversation took place about 20 years ago or so, was he the main instigator behind the first plays, I think he was, but could be wrong but hey.....

Chris, @washlively your post spurred me to dig out a short clip of the show

I'd say the other way around with that sopranos exposure led to plays

Mucker passed on a few clips from Nick Cowans radio show a fair while back, given the recent conversation on here, thought worth a shake to get them up, though just 60 seconds worth but sort of gives a idea of how the show went May rekindle some lost brain cells for some For memories sake. A couple of requests from Nick Cowans radio spot on Terry Lennaine, BBC Radio Merseyside's 'Keep on Truckin' show, his 15 minute slot used to be a must listen back then, around 77/78

above post merged into this topic get a grip matey already posted

see that local papers are reporting the below... A NORTHERN soul enthusiast has described his elation at a ‘once in a lifetime’ opportunity to perform at a national celebration. Alex Morrison, of Barrow, will be in the national eye when he puts on his dancing shoes as part of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Pageant. The Pageant will combine street arts, theatre, music, circus, carnival and costume to ‘celebrate Her Majesty’s unwavering duty, love of the natural world and dedication to the Commonwealth.’ He will be one of 15 dancers on the flatbed trailer when the Pageant takes place on Sunday, June 5. https://www.nwemail.co.uk/news/20172354.northern-soul-enthusiast-selected-perform-jubilee-celebrations/ THE PAGEANT ACT 2: THE TIME OF OUR LIVES ‘The Time of Our Lives’ is a vibrant display of British life since 1952, moving through a transformation of popular culture over the last 70 years. With a cast of thousands, each decade is brought to life through the popular music and dance styles, fashion, youth culture and classic vehicles of the times. Double-decker buses, wrapped in specially designed and custom-made graphics, remind spectators of the most memorable and world-shaping moments from the last seventy years. The Pageant will take audiences from post-war 1950s Britain with Lambeth Walkers and jivers, to the 1970s with northern soulies and glam rockers, all the way to the 1990s with acid ravers and Britpop power. Crossing into the new millennia, ‘The Time of our Lives’ will reflect the technological advances which have changed and impacted modern Britain over the last two decades. https://www.platinumpageant.com/#act-2

A recent msm take on northern Can be interesting some times looking at just how the mainstream media actually treats 'Northern Soul''. This latest 2022 'take' is from the 'The Other One', a recent BBC comedy series...

Before pull the trigger on next headphone purchase for running, thought try get a bit of advice from the membership Any one using/used them for running and like to pass on view on these style of headphones?

A version battle suggested by Chris aka @Chris Turnbull 'Wide awake in a dream’ Jerry Jackson Philip James Vicki Anderson Lynn Collins For this 'battle' return, there are four versions of this great song to think about, as before if you wish to take part all you have to do is have a think/listen and then simply select your choice via the poll and as the idea behind this and similar posts is to get some talk going, make sure that once voted you post up your thoughts/reasons etc behind ya choice as well Jerry Jackson Philip James Vicki Anderson Lynn Collins

my memory (which may be dodgy) says Dave Rivers early 2000s after hearing it on the Sopranos certainly remember speaking to him about it back then

The below sounds just a bit familiar - a famous long gone venue, a car park, revivals, middle age etc etc Someone once mentioned generational cycles on here, think they may have a point... The Hacienda rises again: The Manchester nightclub raves on after 40 years Hundreds of middle-aged ravers attempted to recapture the glory days of the Hacienda at a 40th anniversary party on Saturday - in the car park of the flats that now stand on the site. The nightclub's legend is as strong as ever, and its impact is still felt in Manchester. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-61506634
