..loved it all to death back in the mid - late seventies when I DJ'd a bit in Northern Ireland - was a bit different to the masses over her then and they couldn't quite, at first, get the wellies to move. But perseverance and JUST GOOD SOUL won through in the end and we had a great soul movement for a long time over here - but right now I can't seem to find the same exhileration - maybe it's an age thing!
But hey, I'm always up for a bit of fun and if the arrangements are made waaaaaaaay ahead of the date (to allow a decent rate on travel) - I'll make myself available (but then there are those who say - he's always available).
Hello all
Please excuse my ignorance (I am only 30) but the only thing I know about Northern Soul is that when I was trawling E-bay for some decent sew on patches (I got Slade, Blondie and Quo) there were thousands of these Northern Soul ones. Can anyone link me or explain succinctly what Northern Soul is.
Cheers

Northern Soul - Like sex but for your ears.
Its a load of northern miners with clogs on, dancing
do you like good music?sweet
Myself and PLC were wondering how many Northern Soul fans we have on the site
Vicky - I'm glad I heard it on the grapevine.....I was born in Manchester and grew up in the Manchester Clubs and North West Scene - great days - great seeing bands like the Drifters, 4 Tops, Temptations etc at the MEN Arena nowadays but you cannot beat seeing them in the early days in the clubs for the impact....I enjoy a good dance but there are other forms of gyration to enjoy good soul music with as well...
I couldn't believe what I was hearing the first time I heard these guys. Brand new Northern Soul...from Germany. :shock:
This place is pretty handy too:
Just listened to the frankpopp tracks, pretty impressive.
Are they a modern band?
Sorry guys - plastic, pretend, manufactured plagarism.
Listen to the real thing - there is no substitute.
