Never mind the clenched fist.....this scene seems to have a nice logo.....so own up who is a heavy metal div ?
Yes it seems 'it was rammed' has become a new essential descriptor, and the 'variety and quality of music was excellent' has slipped down the pecking order a tad..just an observation :-) Yes I know venues are expensive to hire etc...but are attendance numbers REALLY the reason people go out and does it now outweigh the quality of music ?
Yes it's true !! There were very few cameras about in the early days, hence very few pics from clubs like the Torch, Up the Junction...and even fewer from the wheel. I was primarily referring to pre Wigan..
Sorry I couldn't resist :-) Here's Frank and Al in top form..although maybe it should be 'You took my 'scene' away lol
bloody ell thats a 'blast from the past' I remember them...got like a cartridge film that slotted in....seemed dead modern at the time...untill you had to wait a week for it to be developed lol :-)
...and that poses an interesting thought For want of a better word 'bitd'...there was NO cameras. In fact turning up to an allnighter and flashing a camera about...would have been a NO NO....so much so..that it would be 'consider yourself rolled' and bye bye to the camera!! Hence hardly any pics exist esp pre Wigan. So no record of what it was about..word of mouth and 'folklore' and UNDERGROUND Imagine the next generation 'googling' Northern soul .....one shudders !!
Blimey mate....that beats 'Brexit' for a discussion lol. Pop round mine later...I've got a tin hat you can borrow :-) Interesting though....is it just the 'mainstream' ? ...or even ANY/ALL scenes
Let me have a look tonight...I'll bring mine round to compare..must admit at first glance..the colouring does look a bit strange
Need I say more......than James Barnett ?...those opening bars must be responsible for more en masse dancefloor rushing than any other in the early to mid 70's
Integral part of our Northern Soul history really. I think they are quite collectable in their own right. Not many have the 'full run' ...failing memory but was it Jeff King who did them ?. probably started late 60's.....I remember some of the older 'wheel lads' bringing back the likes of Leon Hayward and Little Carl Carlton...for us minions to drool over :-) twas only a year or two later we realised what they were !...at that time it just seemed like a really cool label !!
right..it mentions the infamous 3 day week...so Dec 73 on to Jan/Feb 74 if memory serves
hazard a guess ---from 1972 ??
Proper gaff that !!...had a 'lost' weekend there once...after spending all night in that cellar and going back to '|Scotch Pat's flat in Rochdale after...what was that phrase again ??'''no sleep till Tuesday !!. Think Swish was Djing and maybe Julian Bentley ??
Been giving this a spin, when the opportunity arises......oft overlooked stormer from Hose st
veritable 'smorgasboard' of quality sounds ...well done lads
I got the fever..Prophets .. shook the walls (and me) at L'Ambassadeur in Bradford
Very sad to hear RIP
I think I'd be happy with one at that price :-)
A very POSH description !! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Herb-Ward-Strange-Change-ARGO-Licensed-Laser-Matrixed-Repro-Northern-Soul-/152282877032?roken=cUgayN&nma=true&si=AwC68WFgoo5mKtAVGu0mOLw3vu0%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
First job if you really really keen...is buy one of the 'guides' John Manships, Tim Browns (insert Guide of your choice)......a bit of light bedtime reading :-)
