Remember watching A dancer from the balcony on my 1st casino visit dance very similar to this lad , along with stomping & clapping , A lost art , we did dance better in those days didn’t we !!

Would deffo tuck mine in my Spencer’s if I was 2 stone lighter ,

Was under the opinion the dancers travelled round the country to hear & dance to there favourite tunes , following certain DJs who had A certain record , they certainly don’t sound the same in A 2 up 2 down bed sit in Clapham as they do in An empress ballroom ,

The everything was deffo far far better 40 years ago or so I’m lead 2 believe 🤔

Funnily enough, my Dad worked at the Senior Service factory in Middleton for a few years, and then for about twenty five at the Pattrieouoex plant. And yes, it was in Hyde!  worked as A lorry driver 4 all of 2 month , working out of Hyde cigarette factory , there was free cigarettes piled high 4 the employees in the canteen was even tempted start smoking , the 3am starts would have killed me off long before the nicotine,

They had green n clears 3 4 £2

No

Along with watefall I know all the lyrics from start 2 finish & that’s from someone who carnt remember if he has locked the front door or put his handbrake on his car 😱

🤢🤮

Stale scent of brute is 1 thing !!!

Game players & in orbit allways bought me back up after the 4;30 lull , tho have never danced 2 the latter , just find it A bonkers record that I carnt help but like ,

Err deffo northern , Northern Ireland 🤔

Couldn’t buy A 2 nd hand pair it’s A bit like Yur wife buying A 2nd hand vibrater !

POOR SOULS !

Do people realise !!! A lot of the people who want niters in the 70s Wigan etc weren’t old enough drink

Used 2 like the pomagne fuelled niters & the warm up @ the friendship club , even got put up when the niter was cancelled @ the last minute , be thanx 2 swirl , won’t mention the trouble with the red & clear caps 🤮

OVO & no sllly clothes ; was Never A selling point either !

Monday morning gurning & jaw action was the give away

Mr Ms loos were the problem

The last train from Crewe landed U in Wigan just as the punk rock club were kicking out & trouble was compulsory !
