  3. Thanks for shinning a light on past and present northern characters and the scene in general who contributed to the strange world of northern before they and us depart!
  4. I regularly went 76/77 Sunday night/dayers dont recall bali high been open only main room and numbers could sometimes be low in those years as l recall

  6. l frequented the Sunday northern soul night/dayers at the Birmingham Lacarno from 76 onwards usually after attending Wigan or Yate Saturday nighters, unaware of it earlier than that but others may enlighten
  7. It left a lasting impression when l seen it at the Belgrade Coventry June 1-4 2005 felt special as northern was still relatively under the radar at that time, pre mass media and outsiders
  8. May have been more apt in years past to have worn T shirts bearing “Keep The Secret” as “Keep The Faith” appears to have spread the faith far and wide to the masses who ignored it for 40 plus years, who are now proudly proclaiming northern a way of life!
  9. The born again northern devotees and Johnny come latelys further encouraged to enter our places of worship once unknown to the masses now seeking refuge from the local pubs and clubs, seeking out our once secret sounds cutting rug and now becoming one of the in crowd. No drinks on the dance floor not forgetting your handbags please, oh to late there pissed! Welcome to the strange world of northern soul 2023
  10. J J Barnes has died as announced on Ian Levines Facebook account, rip a founding figure in northern soul
  11. Great to see a time when the faithful had vastly reduced in number and northern had returned to the shadows in contrast to today’s mass appeal to anyone over 50 seeking the refuge of a northern soul night
  12. I remember going to an all-nighter at Yate swimming baths sometime in 1976/77 run by Kojak in a small very dark room, a nighter to remember for all the wrong reasons. Also went to the village Bournemouth where in a side room a northern night ran alongside the main room full of normal nightclub revellers about 1975.
  13. Here we go again, someone from our scene cuttin rug, on prime time
  14. My sincerest apologies cheating kind by don Gardner
  15. I’m Gone Northerns ultimate anthem what a legacy we owe Don Gardner many’s a night cutting rug to it over the years played everywhere yet this powerhouse sound still delivers, RIP.
