No it will not Think you'll find that some one has set up a company called "the twisted wheel ltd" Name for new club "skullsnap" ?

Mmm sounds a bit late kinks psycodelic stuff to n me Just that I've never in 43 years of listening to soul music heard the term 6ts gsrage Learn somethink new everyday ;)

Bit off of topic but what is or was 6ts garage? Never heard that term before Could you give me a couple of examples? Good luck with your club naming search How about soul quest ? ;) Spike

One of my favourite etta James tracks when this gets played at the twisted wheel I just get lost on the dance floor! This is a really good rendition great vocals and good backing You say this was filmed in Toronto ? With the bare brickwork at the back of the stage it reminds me of a certain club. On whitworth street Manchester Would love to see this group down at the wheel Spike

Gets played at the wheel one of Pete Roberts favourite spins And I play it in the car alot

Those that I know are "plucked " from the "scene " Dint know any actors just a few young people who I talk to st the wheel ;)

And where do you think most of the dancers have Come from ? There are some pro dances and actors on there But the film maker has gone to the young northern soul scene to try and recreate the feel of the seventies from what I can see it looks quite good As has been discussed on here before I would be stupid to use us old timers

I can only comment on the people I see in Manchester at the wheel twice a month they tell me that there's a thriving younger soul scene intje north west They seem to like oldies I don't know what it's like in the rest of the. Country??? I can only go on pictures YouTube and. comments on here It would be great to hear views from some of the more progressive clubs promotors ect

Well eff me someon has put a video on whilst i was posting ! with the some of the very people I was on about Me thinks it looks good

There's a whole group of younger folk who go to loads of venues in the north west they even have Thier own night in Manchester blackbees soul club When I get talking to them they are very knowledgeable about the scene lots of them are dancing in the new northern soul film don't think that they go with mam n dad As to wether These people represent the trends of the rest of youth culture I very much doubt it some The kids I teach dress in Fred Perrygear smart jumpers cardigans smart shoes ect When I ask them why they dress that way and what sort of music theyre into The term northern soul is very seldom heard! If the term northern soul is used it cod encompass early r n b to upfront rare modern soul and everything inbetween as the man said above if you like it dance to it buy it play it if not find a place where they play the stuff you like Live n let live

Secret agents ??? By the ???

Heroin?

Can't remember the name but can remember them playing lots of pop roxy music ect think it wAs just somewhere to go before getting the bus

Now that we've got all you mancs in the memory mode In 1976 Used to get to chorlton road bus station about 7.30 Saturday nights meet up with the Yorkshire crowd and a few Mancs make are way to Victoria to get the bus or train to Wigan Called in a few pubs before going to get the bus to Wigan Up near the arndale we used to call in a pub/club think it was downstairs and was decorated purple velvet cant remember what it was called anyone??? Spike

Well it's a shame that if you have nothing positive or constructive to add to the discussion that you do not go and watch third rate spurs more often and keep off of here Spike

Sorry about that mike Was late when I read the post on Facebook Just wanted to share the news

Visit save the twisted wheel Facebook page to read new developement re the wheel Well done Pete Roberts John green and Gerry Think you've managed to get the best result possible Spike

Looks like the twisted wheel will close this year Announcement made last night at the 12rh anniversary of it re-opening

If I remember correctly we were asked if we wanted the tv cameras to film at Wigan casino Think the vote was a resounding no Did not go when they filmed myself But I heard that those who did had to sign a consent form anyone remember this ?

My mate graham W. from holmewood chesterfield had "I'm a riker Liker "on his holdall then wondered why the squad used to target him Wasn't there an americwn record lable called rika?

It was set back off of the main road think it is Mansfield road The club on the roundabout at holmewood was Sherridans Country club and the pub accriss the road was the Williamthorpe Sherridans dud have an upstairs room Google maps temple normanton Bonds was near the old school that is still there new houses are now built on the club site

Grassmoor right track soul club in parish hall Temple normanton is the place where the miners welfare was there was a pub across from it on a rased mound lords arm I think It wa known as bonds main cis that was the name of one if the coal mines that was at temple normanton

Hide n seek the sheep Take me in your arms and rock me(a little while) Isley bros Last call jr walker Ain't that the truth jr walker Restless margie hendrix Love dancing to these at the moment Spike
