65 yrs old this year,when I hear all these fantastic tunes god it takes you back. My body might be slow,but my heart and soul isn't. If only we could go back,to the best days ever,my youthclub disco's and most of all it was a safer place to grow up. Nice to see the younger one's K.T.F.. but they will never feel what us oldies felt first time around. Aint no soul like the old sole.😊😊

Searlings set late 70s has to be one of the best in our history. My second favourite only topped by Butch IMO.

I'm always amazed that people can remember which tracks were played where. As it was over 50 years ago since I went to S.O.T. Wigan and Blackpool, I remember the tracks but have no idea where I heard them as I've had no-one to remind me since the late 60's, early to mid 70's. The only exception was hearing Skiing in the Snow at the Highland Rooms Blackpool, for the first time, after it was hyped to death in the soul press. I thought it was pants and still do.

I remember it at Mecca as well mate. I recall where I was on the dancefloor and how I started dancing to it. Four kicks NSEW then a backdrop. Lol. The stuff you remember. You're right. It was a crap sound. KTF

I’m glad it hit the spot for you, it’s a great track. It’s on the Cuppy label, would you believe owned by ‘Rock around the clock’ Bill Haley, after his wife Barbara Joan "Cuppy" Cupchak.

Tomangoes, my desert Island disc. Pure northern soul. The only thing wrong with it is the length of the track, it’s just too short!

I remember getting a lift from Dave Elsworth, from an All Nighter in Bangor on Dee. The following month I got a mention in his article in Blues and Soul. Somewhere around the mid 1970's. I've still got a copy somewhere in the back of a drawer. I mentioned to him that my favourite record at the time was Love Love Love by Bobby Hebb and he included what I said. It's still great, but I wouldn't say it's still my favourite. In fact I couldn't say what my favourite 100 are. Don't know how I could put them in numerical order by preference. Plus would it be my favourites to listen to, or my favourites to dance to, because they would be two separate lists.
@BazFromThePast10 ай бұрын
Dave’s been on the scene forever, I’ve played a few nights when Dave has been on and he’s always filled the dance floor. Bobby Hebb is a still a belter, and brings back memories of Leigh Casino for me, not Wigan. I feel the same about the order of the top 100. Different tracks mean different things, from different places. I still say that the Tomangoes is my desert island disc, and seven day lover got me back into Northern in the late 90’s, so I have a special place for that one too. But as you say, there are so many! Cheers Baz
@tonykemp309810 ай бұрын
In a Venn Diagram of Northern Soul, good to listen to, and good to dance to. The Tomangoes would be in the sweet spot in the middle. I used to be a Seven Day Lover but these days I'm lucky if it's once every seven days. LOL I'm hopefully going to an All Dayer in Leigh on Saturday.@@BazFromThePast

(Follow Your Heart NS Club) St. Josephs Hall Chapel St. Leigh WN7 2PJ I've not been before so don't know the venue. Torn between there and a night in Connah's Quay. Which I also haven't visited yet. As I'm from Chester Connah's Quay is closer but heard the floor has been redone after a flood and isn't too good for dancing due to grippy varnish.@@BazFromThePast

@BazFromThePast4 ай бұрын
In answer to your question Ian, why DJ’s covered up a label, it was after they’d spent time searching the archives and discovered a record, it was covered up to stop other competing DJ’s finding a copy, so that their sets were unique and in demand, that helped them get the next gig. We had a simple life 40years ago. Life was grim up north back then, no Spotify, just blackouts and miners strikes. Times moved on and it’s great to see the music played in most countries around the world now by young and old- uncovered.

You’re obviously not a soul boy Ian. Aren’t so many music genres the same. Some folks listen to the Beatles, Elvis, Dolly Parton, Beethoven etc. etc. Everyone to their own.😊
