I was there at The Ritz that night when they were filming. That's Tony Banks who started the northern nights about 3.30 minutes in and has been carried on by Ginger Taylor after he passed away.

Hit the record button on the VHS video recorder when this was on close up north in 2000. I watched it and watched it till the tape wore out. Pleased to find it again 20 years later. KTF

I was a Whitworth st. Wheeler. We didn't realize what we were part of or instigating at the time. We were the very fabric of the Wheel. If you didn't go then you will not understand. We made up our own dance steps (Some I recognise in the clips from the Casino etc.) We didn't flop around like fish out of the water doing 'acrobatics'. I would say that 99% took 'gear' Amphetamine. I personally didn't know anyone that didn't take it. A Wheeler would not be seen dead wearing a singlet. Please don't use the term, Northern Soul to records played at the Wheel. It annoys me for one but as time goes on I guess I will be in the minority. 72 yrs. old now and getting grumpier by the year so just face up to the truth----The Twisted Wheel was the mother of this movement. Two more things that I noticed. The dancing has become Clone-like (We are the Borg and you are assimilated) and some of the Casino records are utter shite.

Funny how the beeb is now embracing the music they actively chose to ignore for thirty years.

@splashunny........Spot on mate! But to be fair, the prejudice against [ALL] Black music back then was off the scale. Yes, the BBC finally embraced labels such as Tamla Motown, Stax and Atlantic etc - and started playing their records, but it was mainly due to the massive popularity of 'Soul' music in nightclubs. To be honest though, I think that most 'real' Northern Soul fans were happy that NS music was ignored as it maintained its exclusivity and mystique. I can always remember seeing Jethro and his mates making asses of themselves dancing to Wigan's Ovations on Top of the Pops. IMHO moments like that signalled the beginning of the end for Northern Soul
