Chris ...preferred ones were johnsons / brut/ imperial leather usually pinched out the bathroom at home) I did ask further up the thread what folks prefer these days but folks round hear got cloth ears LOL

PMSL!!!! Dawn .NOT MY GROIN!!! I meant for the gentlemens betty swollox areas Mand

PMSL Simon steroid athletes foot powder by any chance LOL Johnsons I think is much finer for babys botty too and feet and groin areas for the dancing populus!

Not one for a 45 year old laydeeeeeeeeeee

Iam a shuffler ..but also a stomper and the splayed out legs like bambi is not a good look on the dancefloor Im considerate Commandment no1 Northern Soul Bible Thou shalt use talc ...LOL Thou shalt wear baggy trousers with at least 40 inch bottoms Thou shalt wear only white coloured socks .... Just kiddin folks wear whatever you like it was a free country last time I looked

LOL Yeah Paul I dont remember my shoes /clothes being covered in it when I went home and my skirt hung to the floor in those days Argh Bali hi!!!! the funk room with all those hanging triffids and cane furniture!!! You have much broader taste in music than me ...I stayed upstairs Back to topic preferred talc was brut, johnsons and imperial leather any others???

By looking at the other talc related threads (below) it seems its always been a bit of a bugbear on the scene

Just spent 10 mins typing my reply .....hasnt appeared grrrrrrrrrrrrr Anyway I wear ladies Doc Martens they're great for dancing when they been worn smooth! When I've danced the first dance if I think Im gonna need it I put it under the table to dab my shoes in or on the edge of the dancefloor if the table area is carpeted hell I even dance on the carpet if the dancefloor is packed!!! I do try not to use it but I dont mind folks using it ..IF theyre gonna be on the floor ALL night! Ahhhhhhhhh Palais days That floor was to die for it was HUGE and used to bounce when everyone stomped on it!!!!!! I dont remember huge plumes of talc being used tho ...it was brogue shoes with leather soles and polyveldts And the dancers were Awesome some of the spins went on forever!!! I always stayed on the left where the decks were 3/4 the way up the floor the front was always reserved for the best dancers I do remember the great smell of Brut talc tho Mand

Wish I could go liesten but my speakers still arent sorted

Hiya Frank!! OOO runaway ..loved that tune ..have it on vinyl somewhere and who sang that tune listen to "the rythmn of the rain" lyrics go "listen to the rythmn of the pourin rain tellin me just what fool Ive been" and what becomes of the broken hearted / jimmy ruffin ah sweet memories!! I bought the big wheels of motown LP that had some class tunes on it Mand

Thanks you guys This really has made me chuckle Class I do however relate more to Dawns version Got my arse kicked because an older mate of mine could stay out later than me so she turned her watch back I was on 11pm curfew 12 o clock my mother comes stormin on to the waltzer and drags me off by the hood of my jacket never forget moments like that

PMSL trust Ric Tic ..no weonder he got chucked out the shop

I do remember ride a white swan T rex wigwam bam the sweet but not Dan the bummer

FPMSL!!!!!

Dawny!! MY god girl you just made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck Are you sure we didnt go to the fair together?? LOL @ the blokes who used to spin on the waltzer A mate of mine copped off with one called Sal he gave her a lovely dose of crabs she'll never forget the dirty scumbag!!! and yes they did have the best sound system too like a mobile disco Mand xxx

That'll be why I dont like either of those tunes !!! Both got hammered to death on the radio at that time

Ahhhhhh the joys of a mis-spent youth Mike

they also sang tie a yellow ribbon didnt they Chris?

Oh bugger!!........ Pete speaking of reggae at fairgrounds do you remember Lie down girl????very rude tune Im sure I remember this tune from the fair its on trojan label too ( I think )

My mum loved that record I hated it with avengence Very Very overplayed at that time! Who sang it????

Pete Yeah I do remember Little Eva being played but obviously the fairgrounds travelled so it could be different by location in the country

After reading a thread on here the term "fairground soul " was mentioned so anyone like to add tunes to a list of farirground soul that reminds them of the fairground I will start by adding Wherever I lay my hat / Marvin Gaye Be my baby / The Ronettes Homely girl /The chi-lites

They didnt ask me Mand ( not bitter)

LOL Liam what was it frosties then ?? Mand

As you probably know I come from what in the trade is called footsyland (east midlands) We constantly get slagged off for loving our oldies and being stuck in the past Yet this is gettin plays all over the local clubs and fills the floor I have it on good old vinyl ( original copy of course ) I happen to love it and of course the guys who did a sterling job in the video representing the face of todays northern soul scene I wouldnt deem it "pop drivel" I would class it as a new oldie Mand Paul sorry I couldn't edit your post off this one pc being gay!!! Btw I think its terrible you didnt get any credit for the supply of one of the female dancers from your play
