This week Iron claw based on true story of a wrestling family in Texas in the 70’s surprisingly a very good film, it’s really about the family and the way the father rules the whole of the sons.

This week the hold overs this is an excellent film really enjoyed it, the end where we started (Jodie comer) for me failed to live up to what ai is supposed to be. Can’t fault the acting but there was just something missing.

Napoleon the other week I thought was boring and too long, was really looking forward to it but ended up being restless couldn’t get comfortable and think it is Ridley Scott’s worst film. Probably better if watched at home. Can fully recommend the 3 musketeers part one on to now possibly Netflix ? Excellent and sticks to the story looking forward to part 2. This week wonka expected to be average but was excellent thoroughly enjoyable funny and clever Timothy chalomet was excellent as wonka.

How Did You Get Into Dancing to Norther Soul?
From aged 12 ish dancing to mainly soul or reggae records (at times it was almost like a line dance with everyone with similar feet and leg moves) at local school disco dj was friends big brother and mate they were both mods. from then it was by watching and sort of copying at soul nights started when 15 being taken by big brother to blue rooms in sale and Blackpool Mecca one of our friends commented to me that while my bottom half was good while dancing I was too stiff with my upper torso. So really it was own style but borne through watching and emulating other dancers till I had my own way of dancing to different styles of tunes full on stompers to funky type and mid tempo tunes.

100 Club 44th Anniversary Single - Miss Louistine
Joe Hinton side hits the spot for me but as stated miss Louistine would have fitted in at the Mecca, joe Hinton reminds me of a Bobby Womack type of song. They both would have been great at the Mecca.

Looking at google maps the area is thornbury which is close to Brunswick you would be best asking promoters for hotels and accommodation recommendations as they will know and may have deals with some of them also best to check as a lot travel to the weekend so they will get booked quick
