    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.

      So true without the youngsters coming into the scene unfortunately it will die.no disrespect to people my age 50s/60s and 70s year old our minds willing but our bodies don't quite work it.doesnt mean to lay down and give but the scene does need the younger energetic crowd to push it forward.it doesn't matter how old we our Northern soul which is incredibly nearly 60 years is so damned good it should never be allowed to fade away

    I've been back to this video many times.. cause I love the music and the dancing fits so well as it appears almost effortless... an absolute classic oldie, and Mr Cootes does it justice. At about 19 seconds when Cootes put his hands in his pockets I'm expecting him to pull out a packet of Embassy Filter and a Zippo, which would be very period for Wigan / Stoke in the 70's :)

    By far the best 'spinners' I ever saw were the 'Twins' at the Catacombs [1972]. They were both incredible and could hold a perfect spin for around 10 seconds. 'Little Pete' was quite good too [he was captured on video at Wigan].
