I still like instrumentals, can never remember the words though. 🤔

So so sad met Ted mid 80s and again when I got back into the scene after my divorce.. I will always remember him firstly for playing requests for my Son Kevin as he got into the scene and also sounds I pressured him to play with Ted having dance floor doubts.. 1st the traditions twinkle little star and little Willie faulks look into my heart at a nighter in Kettering which both filled the floor, thank you Ted x But for me the best memory is of my first spot in the back room of rugby and I dedicated my copy of Mac Staten to Ted and he threatened to hit me with his walking stick and run off with my copy... Will miss you Ted thanks for being a great bloke, great dj and a great gardener. Love and prayers to your family and friends. Mick and Kevin x x x

I totally agree. My 1st niter as a 15 year old was 1980, I'm now 60 and all my peers and artists are a lot older and of course we will lose them, it's so so sad and painful 😒 but it is what life is 😪😪 But the most important thing is that we have lived and danced that music and we will remember it always and take it to our own graves. Sadly I know but truthful x x

I've wanted a pages for ages. Gave up at 500.. can't believe the final price..

And get all us unfit soulie pensioners fit and healthy, maybe if she did this she would get paid by national health service 🤔 🙄 and dwp 🤣😂

Wow I'm gobsmacked I love to watch a busy dancefloor with everyone doing their own moves but all in time with the beat and tempo changes etc. Surely if this is the new thing northern soul line dancing will be the next thing. 😁

Please stay strong and enjoy life as much as possible.. as we get older we all have things to get through . I'm lucky no prostate problems . But diagnosed with acute heart failure.. I wish you all the best wishes I can. But I think we have to remember that we are all getting older and our health is not what it was.. but in our minds we are still in our teens / 20's 😆. I went to my 1st niter in may 1980 I was 15 . And have had 45 years of fun.. I will go to my grave with northern in my ears 👂 Do I regret a Moment... never!!! northern has been my life along with my twin son's Please stay positive Mick

Ha,,,, I've broken ribs in the past. And yes laughing is not funny

Wow, thank you 😊.. my sister used to go to the night owl nighters in Leicester in the 1960s. I grew up listening to soul and motown from her room etc.. and post wigan as a Leicester lad the oddfellows, hinckley and Loughborough were my local niters. Thank you for sharing. It is amazing how much this music means to us. It's probably something that you can't explain to people who have never experienced it...

I'm probably a youngster on the site, not 60 till May.. Been diagnosed with a fatal illness got 50 percent chance of another 5 years ( Do not want sympathy as it is what life decides) Can't participate in niter aids again and trust me with my nickname that is the most difficult thing. Only have an occasional pint of real ale or glass of barossa shiraz. But what I find helps me above anything is listening to the sounds that we love and grew up with.. sometimes they bring a tear to my eyes but they are happy tears of years gone by.. I am so glad that I discovered this scene as a 12 year old and Can't believe that after 48 years It means so so much ✊️ So to the Northern soul scene of 81 onwards up until today the biggest thank you 😊 Greedy

great spot, nice to hear walking by.

I'd be at Leicester Oddfellows 1st. Stafford 2nd. Leighton buzzard 3rd 100 club 4th Cleethorpes winter gardens 5th Bring back the memories.. These are the memories I would love to visit again from the 80s..

On Billy Fran.. Never managed to get one of these, one of my favourite 60s newies, along with Oscar Perry face reality

Or the same j j Jackson who recorded let the show begin on prelude?

Sorry I didn't realise that the Mecca wasn't a niter, my apologies for getting it wrong.
