..Cant say I ever noticed Nige :wicked: :D ...Do remember a record shop down there---didn't they used to sell musical instruments and sheet music for pianos and stuff like that as well. Also a 'John Smedley,Farah,gabicci type mens outfitters......

..eerrmm that'll be the 'Inset' on Liverpool road. Not forgetting the 'Penny Farthing' ..up Hanley duck---late 60's early 70's--- mixed in 'club soul' with---er well whatever they felt like lol Keith Minshull also used to run mid week soul nights at Kidsgrove Town Hall...circa 1970....bit of a treat coz you'd get to hear the 'Friday night Torch tunes ' ..in mid week

DOH!! ..of.course I am chaps --silly me .

bloody ell not heard that name for yonks....didn't he come from Stockport---Proudlove on here will remember him

Mmmm interesting point. A mate of mine--- old 'Wheel boy' from prob 1967 onwards has always believed that there is a 'connection'. He relates it more to a leaning towards liking a 'Motown sound' --rather than any specific 'sub culture'' within the general soul scene itself.. Years ago I challenged him on this--and the reply was---Dont know why but its ALWAYS been generally known(the connection). ..and actually he reckoned it was in evidence a lot in Blackpool!!!

As will this......frantic Swedish cut... https://youtu.be/b7aq6Q2VhuE ...and this............ https://youtu.be/F5z9Wbua1vo

sorry for jumpin in on this thread---but pmsl at that--can just imagine it. Its sometimes difficult for 'northerners' to understand each other--never mind from further afield..
