This has been a good post, and what sticks out is the hard times we endured getting to the venues for the people and the music. Don't think the youth would do it hitch hike, train, bus etc etc etc, they just wouldn't bother. But what a scene to be in luv it

Cheers len, nibbles too I hope 😂

Back in the day me and about 4others went to the carousel at Plymouth Grove Manchester, it was a good night, good tunes etc etc. We come out in the morning and it was snowing one of our party had taken his tunes to sell. We went to the main road to catch the bus back to macclesfield bus arrived and we got back OK, it was freezing in the bus. Arrived in macc and realised that macca had put his records on the wall near the bus stop and had left them there doh, they were all demos and pricey, PRICELESS

Another time, 3of us went to I think Oldham in the late 90s, we picked up a Ford capri from the scrap yard for a tenner as we did on regular occasions. Off we went found the place and it resembled crossroads motel off the telly. Parked up, no licence or tax or ins. The car park had cctv all over so I thought the car would be OK, the night was awful bad tunes bad everything. Came out about 3am and the car was gone, nobody saw anything even the cctv operator. Got a taxi home. About a month later the police called to tell me my car was on a industrial site could you go and collect it. When we got there the inside was stripped bar but they had left my northern soul cds, I think they must have been rockers 😂

Wouldn't it be good to put a book together with the exploits of us soullies, it would be souled out 😂

He's probably still there 😂

Priceless

That's Brill, the youth of today wouldn't even go to the next town if daddy won't take then and pick them up 😂

4of us went to the scrapyard paid a tenner for a hillman minx, no licence or tax or ins. One of my mates had a full leg cast on as he'd broke his leg, off to Wigan we went. Parked up in the morning the only car left on carpark was ours. When we got all of us in aswell as webby with his plaster cast on we hid our gear down the inside of his leg. Good job as the ds pounced stripsearched us but not webby. They never asked about the car 🚙, priceless memories.

Would the youth do that hitching today, I think not

Hi I would just like to know about you soullies out there, in the days of not very much money times. Is there any stories of how you got to them, did your scooter break down, or train take you to the wrong place. Our story was in the days of Stafford. Me and my mate walked from macclesfield to Stafford got there in the early hours for the last hour, who would do anything like that now just to go too a club, what's your story
