'One of the iconic clubs in the early years of Northern Soul, and at last a fitting tribute in the form of this excellent new book' At the Top of the Stairs: The Story of Leeds Central, Northern Soul and Jazz Funk The story of a subterranean club in the backstreets of Leeds, that changed the lives of all who went there. Top of the Stairs tracks the origins of the Central Dance Club, from the early Mods, through the Northern Soul era to Jazz Funk, and ultimately back again. It captures the unique and personal stories of DJs and dancers alike, including stories from Tony Banks, Richard Searling, Ian Dewhirst, Twink, Paul Rowan and Pat Brady.

Pete, great article and pictures. I was a central regular from early seventies, and our crowd included Dave Raby, Steve Cook, Mally (big), Melv, Sam, Oki, Eric. I am trying to write and compile a book on the subject, including DJ interviews and input from the dancers and punters. Would you be ok if I include your article ? Can you send me some of the pictures ? My email is smtaylor299@msn.com Regards, Steve Taylor , KTF -

I was shocked to see things like Jimmy Mack being faked (as opposed to the old bootlegs, which are easy to spot). It would be good to build a data base of known fakes and what to watch for.
