I own the single by R Dean Taylor and many others. Much better than the monotonous rave, etc.

Oh dear.. they still believe it started at Wigan.. they haven't a clue ...✊👎

Back to a time when world wars and pandemics were not a consideration. Strikes, unemployment, and run down areas, but a good community feel, and compared to today, not a care in the world. Great music and clubs. Even TV was good. I feel sorry for today's kids.

And you think these days that the dance moves are new,think again. Iused to live in Wigan but live in Germany for over 40years. I also used to go to the casino on a Saturday night with my sister

It wasn't fizzy pop that kept you awake 😂

My home town wigan number in uk best music still is today .

ghost in my house what a load of crap

Another great Northern music venue.. I’m now 67 and was all over from soul to RnB to punk to reggae to rock.. Them days never to be repeated I so blessed to have had some of the best times of my life.. Raised in Salford partied all over in Manchester and London. Depressed never even knew what the word meant.. Fri, Sat and Sunday night staggered into work Monday Whooppeee fab times 🎉💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾 No need for the gym or keep fit we were dancing 3-4 times a week 🥰

Take me back to the wonderful and happy days of the 70’s.

I love all the songs ♥️

in the late 70's i worked for a supermarket called Hillards head office at CLECKHEATON in Yorkshire and we were always opening new stores and when we did we had free nights out to visit them, well the coach left Lincoln and pretty soon we were gorging ourselves on free booze n grub and a visit to the local clubs... OMG late 70's 17 years old free everything but the clubs and the music were totally outstanding and yes Northern Soul was on the menu.... What a blast until the journey home throwing up and work a few hours later, absolute minging head and being a butcher... still got the scars in 2023 to prove drinking and butchery not the best combination the morning after the sensational night only a few hours ago, awesome and a lifetime of memories and rather bloodied fingers😂😂 Northern Soul fabulous in every way but the knives and cleavers a few hours later totally unforgiving, miss those crazy nights buy not the minging hangovers 👍👍👍

Takes me back to my teens…fell in love with my husband when him saw him dancing to 54-46 was my number, he was nicknamed rubber legs & could bounce back to both beats…hair stands up on my arms still thinking of it!

Jane Elizabeth Hannam gave a silver ✝️ on a chain around my neck I got a Beating as had been wearing it around my neck from family members and Asians around Manigham Lane i had to return to Jane not ment to break her heart and she had lovely hair Jane Elizabeth Hannam Hanna Orangery Brown she shaved like a skinhead off never Faithfull all she had to do say the 3 magical words in whispering in my ears 👂i would have kissed her tears 😢 away from her face streaming down to lips 💋

Made me laugh this fable about Wigan ....no mention of the barbs' and innumerable o.d's that arrived with all of its infamy. No mention of it being burned down 'on the quiet' and no mention of the legions of plain clothes' who every Sunday had a nightmare keeping a lid on this cesspit. Take away the music and all it was was a venue for getting smashed and in some instances a place where over the years hundreds of people in England got propelled into an early grave. Why not say it as it really was ...a celebration of uppers' and downers' stimulated with a little romantic music from America.

Best music ever at the best nightclub in the world !!

I remember very well that most of thw chemists over the uk were Robbed lol on all nighters everyone used to swap stuff on the train going to wigan lol wow what music we had back then

Best time of my life back from 1975.

TOTALLY ORIGINAL and BRITISH YOUTH MOVEMENT! CURTESLY SUPPLIED BY THE YANKS.🇬🇧🇺🇲

Very good video, however I do have to question the remarks regarding its closure. I went most weekends from 1975- to its closure. It had various stays of execution, ie a couple of extra monthly Friday oldies all nighters and certainly the same on the regular Saturday all nighters. It was ultimately the council who wanted the place closed not the patrons. This did somewhat become a messy end. Many of us out there remember leaving the Casino on the very very last night to walk down the road to Tiffs around 2 am, (some may have called it a protest or sticking up the Vs to the Casino). Richard (Searling) blew the place apart with a mixture of new and old acquisitions and as they say, set a standard a lot of us have followed since. Yes I miss my teenage years of the 70’s and will remember Wigan Casino and the magical hold it had over me for 6 years, but I also think of Samantha’s, the Mecca, 100 club, Yate, St Ives, Rotherham, Oddfellows, Notts Palais Stafford TOTW Bretby……… to name a few I

My Dad Rob Preece from Droitwich Spa loves this music always playing Northern Soul on KZfaq..KTF Big Rob........

Tune I was born 16 years too late 😢

Great video clips, I came from a mod background in Dublin and eventually discovered northern soul and it's energy at the time lreland was still in the strangle hold of the Catholic church and some how it influenced a nation with fear and a heavy hand, I have been collecting vinyl since I was 13yrs old and as time moved on I discovered dance music and became a bastion for it, really didn't think it could work at this point in time and my life I was going to the UPNORTH SOUL WEEKENDERS, and seen how diverse it's music was with different rooms, never thought it could work in the south of lreland, because I felt we never had the influence of different cultures in our community at the time,then I went to Belfast to the sugar club with a friend of mine and I was blown away so started organizing gig's in Dublin myself, started organizing club night's in a club called,SIDES, with DJ's from Belfast etc but the guy that owned the club ripped me off one night, and I swore to him that I would another venue for the next one, I eventually found the, OLYMPIC BALLROOM,a venue that was probably built around the same time as the casino and the similarities were profund,it was dance music but it has the same energy as a northern soul night in the casino , like the casino it's been turned into something else now , I just wish I had been able to experience the casino personally great video

I live in Wigan. I have heard of Northern Soul but never knew what it was about. I don’t know why this popped up on my KZfaq home page, but I am so glad it did. I love this.
