what does it go for now mark

hi how much mark

wasnt neccessarilly boredom just people growing up and drifting away, remember when it all started for me in 1972 i was fifteen by the time i had drifted away in 79/80 i was 23, friends had got married and moved on blacpool mecca had closed (my favoutite soul night) wigan was in the throes of closing cleethorpes had closed, did not get into the punk scene but did dally with the jazz funk scene(too handsome to be a punk ), but the excitement had gone from the music you have to remember in the 70's there was something on everyweek not just on fridays and saturdays but tuesdays thursdays sundays. i preferred cleethorpes as an all nighter to wigan, but you cant take it away from wigan it was a great place but as for discoveries in the music you struggle to beat ian levine and colin curtis in the heydays of blackpool mecca. the difference for me when i got back into northern was that i when i go out i want to hear stuff i have not heard before of for a long time and there is a lot still to hear thanks to stafford and 100 club and anywhere else i havent mentioned, the nostalgia side for me is not just the music but meeting old friends again and making new friends like you and richard all the manchester crowd and people from further afield like brett and shane them funny southern types like ken . i met my wife karen in 1982 and got married in 1984 and she had no idea about northern soul and just kept on at me to get rid of those records that were cluttering up the back bedroom , and to be honest i thought it had all but dissapeared. my brother used to buy me the the compilation albums for christmas and birthdays in the early 90's and then he told me he had bumped into al jackson and tony jackson ross and imelda at hyde botanical club, so i phoned tony and the rest is recent history as they say that was in about 1995 wigan was what it was a great place for music excitement and meeting people from all over the country, but for me there were better soul nights. mark
