Car jack on the window bars of a small town chemist on the way to Wigan, 8 minutes.. Easy Peesie .

Good to see Richard Searling.

What a beautiful video, brought me tears. Cherish those memories, they're precious and keep dancing if you can.

‘A wonderful old chest filled to the brim with felt-tips….”. ✅✅😂😂

Everyone forgets that the genre that became Northern Soul actually started at the Chateau Impney, Droitwich in 1968/69 when we used to import records from the USA years before The Twisted Wheel and the Wigan Casino. It was only when gaining poularity that the NME termed it "Northern Soul". Keep the Faith.

My husband was there ❤❤❤❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🪩

I saw Danny a year ago in Chester and he made me howl laughing. But Danny? We DID know who these artists were, and sometimes JJ Barnes and Edwin Starr would be invited to the North and absolutely mobbed. They couldn't work out why working-class white kids round our way absolutely adored people ignored in their own country. Keep the faith, brothers and sisters!

I loved this <3 my mum often talks about how she would go dancing. I understand why! beautiful!!

Love this - born 1955 and love Nortern. Soul 😁

Keep On Keeping On.

Northern soul is one big family

Danced on and on with bottles coke and packs of fags 😂

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This music and incredible dancing should and must be revived ASAP

Good Old days ❤

Didn't the American magazine Billboard who run the American charts vote Wigan Casino best nightclub in the world 2 or 3 times in the seventies, and that was at the height of studio 54. The records that didn't sell in the US got used as ballast in cargo ships, and when they came to Liverpool, the dockers being good scousers 7sed to steal them and that washow obscure black soul first got into the North West.

24min 20sec: That young lady has got the moves "Young Wigan Souls" . Good to see the young generation taking Northern Soul to another level.

Watching this putting hairs on my body still stand up still watching 2024 ktf Burnley lancs UK 🇬🇧

I've watched this a few times over the years,i love it. I can remember back to when i took my then girlfriend to a northern do at Queen's Hall in Bradford on our second date and she was spellbound.She couldn't believe that the guys outnumbered the girls on the dancefloor.😅

I saw him last August on the same beach! Same sales pitch, fantastic 😆

This rubbish refuses to go away, this shit aunts me .... Lucozade my ar*se .......still got me 500 records though. ah ah

Wicked

Great vid, but no, not everyone was a junkie. Yes ,it did exist, but not everyone took drugs, we loved the music and could dance for the feeling that the tunes would create in your mind to make you feel happy/sad. Some might call it SOUL

yet another example of British youth taking American music back to America. From Stoke, the home of Lemmy and Slash.

This is great

I had one of the original records right off the press. He used to come to our house and sing wish my mom in Houston. I can still see her doing the punch when the horns would hit.

❤brilliant thanks for letting us watch your video ❤keep the faith ❤

Seven Souls was £7, picked up Garland Green Aint that good enough for £8 I think.

Sorry but 'I Can't Help Myself' by the Four Tops has absolutely nothing to do with the evolution or development of Northern Soul music.

Thanks for bringing back brilliant memories. I still love this music and always will. Back in the 70s it was my life, it was life.

Супер!

Drugs weren't KEY for me. It was the music and the dancing that gave me a natural high.

saw him die on his arse as this charachter, hammersmith odeon, early 90s, supporting vic n bob.

In all fairness Blackpool Mecca played many good rare grooves tune.Was not purist.

There is no way to explain how you felt just getting ready to go to Wigan was from Liverpool not many people knew what northern soul was. I only found it on holiday in the Isle of Man. My first experience was Dobie Gray out on the floor. Then there was no looking back. Keep the faith

Nice movie

I saw Tommy Cockles as the interval act at Vic Reeves Big Night Out in about 1991/2.

It .. was AMAZING! NORTHERN SOUL! WIGAN!! x

Wigan Baths ! A Cup of Bovril! x

❤fran Franklin sleep tight precious sister 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✌️

The blacks we're the best dance awesome ❤

Al Wilson the snake ❤

I find now she is a psychic medium

My youth, amazing time. No music like it.

This is how i feel about the underground psytrance scene happening now in 2024

Ohhhhh he nailed those moves!

So gutted I missed out on this growing up in the 70's. The music sings to the soul and the dance moves to every beat just brings you alive. 😍

What a dress? Like Miami beach icecreamer

Ah,the days of our life, hitchhiking to Wigan from Bournemouth in the mid 70s..still love this brilliant music today..

I was born in the 70s so didn’t get into Northern Soul until adulthood. What a scene and the music is just incredible ✊🏼
