Always VERY VERY busy..don't miss out -
Had a few asking ..is it Northern Soul ??? Such a difficult question !!!.....its a very similar 'promotion' as to what we do down at Congleton Cricket Club where we play across the full spectrum of sounds.....from 60's to now !! So YES i reckon there'll be a bit of Northern Soul in there !! We'll definitely be playing some Summer soulful sounds...right here in Downtown Tunstall...thats for sure !!

yes the northern soul scene....or maybe better described as the allnighter scene...because back in the day...that was it
-
I think maybe we're at crossed purposes here.....it seems the 'scene' is depicted as northern soul and records.......as I've mentioned...it was much much more than that.......I knew people who were on the 'scene'who didn't care for soul music.....regular nighter goers who enjoyed other aspects of the 'scene' There was a perhaps more of a link from the terraces to the scene. I think (and its a looooooong time ago 🙂 ) its too convenient to say youth clubs produced hardened regular nighter goers !! Imagine a kid in a sweet shop and records were just one sweet out of 20 odd jars of sweets !! 🙂 ...its probably a bad example using sweets.lol...but you get me drift Anyway back to Billy Ocean...massive disco track....young ladies dashed to the floor....I remember it LOUD AND PROUD from TOTW Stafford way before the nighters !! Actually on reflection..it was one of those 'European' hits as well......Tramps nightclub in Benidorm ....you know who you are lol 🙂 !! AS for plays on N.Soul circuit......can't see it being a match for the top sounds of that era !!
-
yeah not disagreeing...but also it depends what type of YC you went to.....my memories were of table tennis, smoking behind the bike sheds and a gerard record player in the corner........yeah that random !!!!!! organised 'disco' type activities were few and far between....and i was only 15/20 miles from Hazel Grove !!! So the introduction to what we know circa 1970 scene was hanging around doing things with via older teens....not via a youth club
-
Well that isn't how I recall...but as you say everyone has a different perspective......but from my experience I seem to remember that scene activities could not be carried out in youth clubs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....in fact you probably got more scene goers from Risley YOI than a youth club 🙂
-
Youth clubs have NO link to the 'scene' apart from maybe hearing a few tunes The 'scene' in inverted commas in the early days was much much more than a few tunes and certainly not a 'learned' activity at a youth club In fact I suppose those that frequented a youth club were the polar opposites of 'scene' dwellers ..unless I'm dreaming !!!!
-
Under a week to go !!!.... The North Wests Luci Jones joins the usual suspects here at FTMNTC. Flying the flag.. for the enthusiasts.... We're not much on 'post match' playlists here.........much preferring the old adage where we.... COME AND EXPERIENCE THE SOUNDS IN THE 'HERE AND NOW'.... !! ...just like we used to... Taking you back to those halycon days when music was KING and not who played it !!!
