    I hope you enjoy this Chanel it was created to promote all aspects of Northern Soul and to make found memories, if you cant leave positive comments then please dont leave any at all I will remove negative ones. The whole idea is to showcase the wonderful music, the fashions, the events, the venues, the dancing, and most of all the people and community that come together ALL OVER THE COUNTRY to enjoy this lifestyle not to be nasty and ridicule people. Thanks for your help with this request.
    My name is Ralph I recently retired having reached the landmark age of 65 “what do I do now ?” is the question I asked myself. What do I enjoy the most well that was easy to answer I love to dance and I love to listen to Northern Soul this love of the above started what seems a lifetime ago in the late 60’s when I discovered a small dark and dirty place called THE CATACOMBS then followed by THE TORCH for those with really good memories UP THE JUNCTION and the scene was cast that would frame my life.

She was a Wigan Casino regular and the little girl me picked up the moves that she showed me at home. Later on me and my friends used to do the same dance moves at the local under 18s disco when they used to have the Northern Soul sessions. I’m 55 now and still remember the moves.
