You really don't get the Northern Soul scene. There was no 'catch up' we continued to discover, play and dance to newly discovered records. That's what the scene was always about, but those who dipped their toe in for a couple of years in the 70s either forgot or never got in the first place 😂

where were you after your couple of years toedipping? Some of us carried on for 45+ years

Amazing nighters as was Stafford TOTW, Allanton Scotland and Blackburn under Guy Hennigan's tenue was untouchable. I pity those who decided to ditch the scene during this underground era.

​@@mrfloppa2543allanton was dynamite , Jim ohara big respect and to all who attended djs and the support, stomp you bas----- 😂 brilliant memories, Tony's empress too was MAGIC, Stafford was just before my time

It had moved on and there was no nsoul uniform and a huge shift in the style of records being spun

The 'Northern Soul Uniform' of baggy keks, circle skirts, vests etc were considered divvy by 79 and was only around for 5 years of our 50+ year history. The 1000 or so who 'kept the faith' whilst the vast majority decided it wasnt for them (until it became popular again) did what we always have done, wore the fashions of the time. The 80s Underground period was utterly superb. I pity those who missed it by choice, those who was there will know what it was like when the opening notes of Mello Souls started and that rush to the dancefloor

@@mrfloppa2543 You obviously don't know as much as you think about Northern soul, Your comment saying (did what we always have done, wore the fashions of the time ) Actually no we didn't, We always had our own Fashion and the music which made us unique. That's why I commented on the clothes, It just looks like any old 80`s club of the time. Your comment made me laugh saying 70`s fashion was considered divvy, This is by people who look like Disco lollopers.....Mr Flopper...

I understand why you'd think that as I suspect you dipped your toe in during the commercial years for a year or so, but look at the dress sense at the early Mecca, Wheel etc... Suede / smooths style that was of the day and not just the soul scene. The Casino too, baggy keks were everywhere in the mainstream as well as the likes of solatios however the Soulers took it a bit further with Spencers and Roxy threads to rediculous 40" bags etc. We turned to pegs, straight jeans etc from 79 onwards, normal fashion. I see this a lot from people who dipped in and now back who like to cosplay, but take it from us who carried on for decades until you decided you like it again that 'your uniform' was a 4, 5 years tops era.

It is a scene that in its beginnings was based mainly in the North of the UK. It is largely black music from the 60s 70s etc that failed commercially or sold nothing.

@@Chalkster101 so I was kinda right? Are you from uk?
