I am pleased for you Gary, even if your mobility is hindered now, dance anyway, every little movement you can make to this wonderful timeless music, uplift your Soul.

Agree wholeheartedy Gary!! Where you Wigan or wheeler?

I loved the film, a fantastic project and well done to all who were involved :-) Parts had me in stitches, the classroom scenes, the kicking of flowers, the Youth Club scenes - brilliant.

Elaine who wrote and directed the film has done more nighters than most. Those of us who stuck around after Wigan closed know and respect her.

Northern soul is the best ! 🎶🎶🎶🎶👍❤️

There's no need to feel that way. Keep on dancing your heart away.

@Richard Bottrell what!? No, no, no... have you heard the saying, dance like nobody's watching?" well, yeah sometimes we just need to move and get ourselves out of a funk or just have fun. In your case, you dance as if everyone is watching, because you are NS in the flesh! That is what's needed, from what I've seen of the dancers, whew, pure joy. Give them the gift of joy! Oh and of course yourself..🌈💖😘👍🏾

Don't be I'm nearly 69 and still dance (try LOL) clapping in the middle of the dance floor espiecially when "Long After Tonight Is All Over" comes on .

I was around for the one and only Wigan Casino 😁

50 of them now, must follow those Cyrus and Bieber brats, talentless, This music will live on forever, unlike theirs. KTF!

I'm old enough and have two knackered knees from dancing and rugby, but the scene is still going strong in its heartlands.. Its a state of mind, the music and the friendships forged over (for me) 45 years of dancing and still living for the music..

SORRY but stealing that

Only if the DJ was shite! :-)

The worlds longest running nighter of all time. 45 years this Septembet and still playing new discoveries.

Bitte! Keep the faith

Some are Motown, but many are on small independent labels that flopped or were B sides that people never listened to before the Northern Soul DJ's from venues like The Twisted Wheel, Mecca, Torch, Wigan Casino, Cleethorpes etc imported from the US.. As an example the original recording of Tainted Love by Gloria Jones was on the B side of a flop single called "my bad boys coming home" in 1965 on the Champion label.. NS dancers loved it, she re released it in 1976, then Soft Cell released it in 1982 and it was a hit.. Many great songs like this would have been lost without the Northern Soul scene.. You can also see the evolution from NS dancing to the Bboy breakdancing scene from early videos of the great venues..

Track listing in drop down box at top.. Too many for me to write down for you..

Tolly T Not forgetting that Soft Cell themselves were NS music lovers themselves before they had a world wide Synth Pop hit in 1981 (not 82) with their Tainted Love cover.

There is a soundtrack to the film, it has 54 tracks, most of the songs on this short film are on it, you’ll end up looking for the rest of them, KTF.

No unfortunately. Those sessions in Angel and Stoke Newington ran for 3 years and people learnt to dance by watching, and talking, listening to the music and dancing with each other. They became addicted to the music just as we did in the heyday. Friends were made and bonds that still remain today. It really was a unique monthly session that the young dancers travelled for from across the Uk. It was a club that inspired and had an unbelievable energy because many were hearing this music for the first time as we did in the 70's and it electrified them.

@@thecut7937 thanks for responding, I always wondered what happened, it seemed like a great little revivalist club. I was stunned at the energy and passion of these young and keen dancers for this old genre. It’s a pity that it didn’t continue with the next generation, but I think the NS revivalist spirit kicked off in many parts of the U.K. over the last 7-8 years or so since a few NS documentaries were aired on TV and a few good film dramas about the 70s NS were released. I think a great many are still keeping the faith in their hearts if not on the dance floor 🙂

Thank you Mr. Tim, i have got the single yet!

ABSOLUTE TUNE!!

We still do though 😆

Aww diddums .

It was a practice session for extras for the Film Northern Soul. Directed by someone who's done more nighters than most. You say there was nothing like it after Wigan but for those of us who didn't just dip our toes in for when it was in the public eye and carried on 40+ years when the scene returned underground we know how great the scene was for us and all other generations. I have as much respect for someone who has been going to the 100 Club for 2 years as someone who went to Wigan for the same time.

I'm sure they kept you dancing in south armagh!!

Not Wigan then

probably as you only dipped your toe in to a scene thats been going 50+ years. 5 years during its most commercial period doesn't make you an expert I'm afraid 😂

@@Byrney31​​⁠dipped my toe in? We lived and breathed the whole experience back then and have followed it ever since. Idiot. And it qualifies me to know what brilliant dancers we had back then compared to these clowns. One of which you’re undoubtedly one of 😂

@@Byrney31but more of an expert than you. What are you 20? You weren’t even there.

@LJ it never caught on here, no advertising/radio/tv

great weekender down south in Dublin though.

Yawn.
