Northern Soul Uk

Tickets now on sale!! Here is the ticket link for the Leeds Central Reunion tickets. Leeds Central Reunion Tickets Although you will end up paying a little more for a ticket, you are guaranteed entry whereas waiting and paying on the door you are not. I suggest anyone who has an original membership card, get in touch with me for a half price ticket on proof of possession of card.

Got the flyers today and they look the dogs............ anyone interested in having some please pm me your mailing address and I will get some to you in the post or can arrange to meet up. Thanks Steve

Hi Stu, do you mean Tony Jackson? if so he's already agreed to do the reunion. DJs now confirmed; Paul Rowan, Tony Jackson, Rick Cooper, Dennis Billingham, Chris Mallows and me. ALL original Central DJs

I will be receiving the tickets, flyers and posters for the 'Leeds Central Reunion' at the end of this week hopefully. I will post the online ticket sales link on here on Facebook and on the event pages as soon as it is all sorted, hopefully by the weekend. Please note there will only be 250 tickets on sale and 150ish places to pay on the door, so don't delay! Also as mentioned above, anyone that has an original membership card have 2 options 1- Buy a ticket to guarantee entry 2 - Wait and pay on the door for half price entry but get there early. There is no other way around this unfortunately as many people are asking me to put tickets on sale.

I said I would so it, but need the MP3s, so if anyone has them let me ave em and I'll get cracking.

Heheh!! Yeah i know what you mean, but I have friends in high places, well! a recording studio actually.

Yes Pete that does pose a slight problem. I think the best way round that, is that anyone with a membership card not buy a ticket and pay on the door. I have only ordered 250 tickets so that leaves approximately 150 places to pay on the door. Or to be on the safe side anyone that does have membership cards buy a ticket anyway to save disappointment on the day and forfeit the half price entry.

The programmes I use are state of the art kit, approximately £7-8000 worth of software, but still Northern is not easy to mix as the BPM is never the same for long with being recorded live, so there is always a huge amount of cutting, pasting and beatmapping to do, and even then sometimes it doesn't sound perfect. But I do love doing it all the same

Massive announcement!! Thanks to Malc Burton who has put me in touch, we have now able to add to the lineup 'Paul Rowan'. Paul kept me on the phone for over an hour today until I ran out of credit LOL! chatting about the days of the Central and the people that used to go and who he knew back then,and believe me he hasn't changed a bit, he can talk for England. So Brilliant news, we have now added another Original 'Central' DJ to the lineup. 'Paul Rowan'

While your deciding to attend the Reunion, here is something for you to listen. I've done a few of these, some like them, some don't! This is a collaboration of 2 records with the same backing track, but different artists, Or is it??

Hi Shelly. yes I have decided to do tickets for the reunion. as soon as I get them in place I will post the link on here. They will be available online and instore at 'Jumbo records' in Leeds, very appropriate, as this was the best shop and I think the only shop in Leeds where you could get Northern Soul in the days when the Central was running.

Another one for you to kick the shit out of LOL!! Hope you enjoy!

Great times lads yeah, it always messes my head up when I hear the good ones have sadly gone. I remember 'Spud' from the Central who died early on, I think his name was Steve Tate? I know he was a fireman. and who could ever forget the mighty 'Bub'? What a top bloke and a great character, very sadly missed. Yes as you say Pete, let's celebrate the memories of those who graced the Central back in the day who can no longer be there.

Great photo Stu, Thanks for that I am looking for images of actually inside or outside the central to make into a video to project onto the walls at the reunion. Do you have any or know anyone that might have? Thanks for the photo Steve

I did approach Swish and Pat Ian, but they are both otherwise committed (see PM)

Pete, just a thought, but was it that place in Huddersfield, some sort of Caribbean club??

Yeah i think you might be right Pete . Shows I was there though eh? Also mine is like a beige colour, I've added a hue on the flyer to make it look blue.

S'ok, Pete, you can pay me for the ones that get in free LOL!! Just wondered, My central card has the badge on it (one on flyer), but mine says that is expires in 1971, whereas yours says it expires in 1973? Was yours definitely before the badge one?

heheh! yeah, they would probably be worth more than £6 these days anyway in antique value :-) Twice!! LOL! sorry bout that!

heheh! yeah, they would probably be worth more than £6 these days anyway in antique value :-)
