Inter city Soul - First event I went to was at Bisley Pavilion near Aldershot about 1975 - I remember Disco connection being played I guess more across the board - DJ was Kojack and yes am sure he had a bald head 🤔 Dave Thorney ran Yate - Stars and Stripes 🇺🇸

Paul - don’t bite mate, imagine thinking / being part of something that you fully don’t understand / was never there / and impossible to duplicate due to social media / phones / cameras and dare I say No smoking / let alone scoring gear / ODing and genuinely looking after you’re mates without stabbing them in the back - just to make you look good On various social media posts - I say poor them - we were in that scene that era 1975 - 1989 and still going today - they cant take away our memories, love for the music or more importantly our opinion 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Side comment went to a Soul night at Leicster a couple of years ago - most of the dancers were about 58 to mid sixties (am 64) then a shuffler came on - this guy jumped up large belly and shuffled just like 75/76 back then anything that you danced to like that was classified as a newie - I didn’t know the guy but knew he was there back in the day - shit he was good like really good - there’s a saying “when you know - you know” 👍🏻

I guess the Universe Dancing Competition- Trumps the World Dance Off 🤔😂🤣

Councillor Chris Ready, cabinet member for communities at Wigan Council, said: ‘Northern Soul means so much to the people of Wigan Wigan council along with the drug squad - couldn’t wait for it to close 🤔🤔 how quickly people forget

🤣😂- What about the time you did two nighters on the trot Fri & Sat then thought the DS were following you home - all the way from Wigan or Wakefield- back to Huntingdon- then peering out the window through the nets to see if they’ve gone 🤪🤪😳😳😳😳😳😳😳 🤣😂

And finally the best T shirt I ever saw - late 79ts early 80ts If Speed Kills - Why ain’t I Dead 😂🤣

Who remembers mid 70ts the cars in the car parks with sun visor names at the top of the screen - SKF Bearing 🤣😂 DS must of hated us

Great hearing from people who were there at the time / and an important part of the history - top man 👏🏻👏🏻 Always find past experiences and knowledge fascinating - as what was acceptable back then and how people behaved would be blown up on social media today in a second

The other bits - that no one likes talking about Wigan drug squad tried endlessly to shut the Casino Breaking in to chemists to fuel the Casino was everywhere Selling of drugs around the country - and links from one chemist getting screwed to another - Barbiturates in mass from East Anglian sold to Scotland Thursday nights when you use to get you’re brown cash pay packet - easy muggings to feed the Soul habit Pills silver wraps - everywhere it was a free for all - Welsh drug suppliers feeding the Scene. I remember seeing on the balcony at the Casino a Welsh supplier with the roll neck jumper on I said - bet ur hot - he lifted up his jumper to show a rounders bat , snapped in two - as he had discussions with some Bolton lads. How many people took gear - A coach typically would seat 52 people - it was not uncommon that 53 people took gear - yes the coach driver as well 🤣😂 but that’s another story

Mush is pronounced 'Moosh' and means mate or friend. You can expect to hear it around the city. It can be traced back to the old Romany word meaning 'my good friend'. or This is a local Southampton colloquialism although sometimes borrowed by other areas of the UK as well as claims emanating from the Romany language. Some historians relate the friendly term deriving from the Middle Ages when French ships docked at the port with the word 'Monsieur' abbreviated to 'Mush'.25 Oct 2022
