the youth clubs near me in old trafford manchester were a lot of the time sports clubs, it tended to be church ones where music played english martyrs in stretford had a record player and the locals used to play their own records usually soul or northern, my real introduction to soul was at my parish church disco which as 11/12 year olds we started and the dj was a friends big brother who used to play all the motown stax atlantic stuff and some blue beat and reggae, this was in from 1971 onwards he was a real mobile dj with own equipment, when i got to 15/16 my older brother had met lads from work who were into northern and it all went from there, mark
