A brief intro...
First heard "northern" in 71 at St Maries youth club in Southport. Started going to Allnighters in 73 at VaVas at the tender age of 15. Closely followed by Wigan a few weeks after it opened. Also used to go to other venues, Mecca, Sams, Whitchurch etc. Joined the Navy in 76. I still love Northern Soul to the exclusion of all other music, but do not attend many venues nowadays. I Now live in Portsmouth.
