They were all speed freaks, amphétamine sulphate mainly.

You did not mention amphetamine. How? Bruce Lee was way after northern soul. You have no idea.

YEAH YEAH

Looks like it 😊

They know nothing except what they've read on Wikipedia and uniformed articles written long after the event. I was a regular at the Catacombs before Wigan even opened, but was into what became known as "Northern Soul" before it's name caught on (coined c.1970, but not widely adopted until around 1972.) We just called it "Rare Soul". Older fans around in the late '60s sometimes called it "Rhythm & Soul". Obscure uptempo Soul music to dance to, as opposed to pop-chart rubbish. The Bruce Lee story is absolute RUBBISH. Baggy trousers (and badges) actually went out of fashion in 1974(!) Nobody told Wigan latecomers many of whom we regarded as little better than "divs" - ie. pop and rock fans. The actual "Golden Age" of NS was 1970-1974. Paul Mason is an idiot who barely scratched the surface. Records by The Fi-Dels, Bobby McClure, Salvadors, Major Lance, Hoagy Lands, Yum Yums, Jerry Cook, Jackie Lee, Thelma Lindsey, Del-Larks, Saxie Russell, Earl Jackson, Bob Relf, Vel-Vets etc. etc... That is Northern Soul. The rest is selective psychobabble.

Beautiful. Energy. Positivity 🎉

1980s.Who remembers Sundays all-dayer at the Locarno Birmingham

Absolute Quality. A bygone era.

Northern soul has no bounds..spiritual harmony and freedom ..tolerance for free style dancing…a shared ❤ for the faith 😊k T F

It is ALL about the music. You have to listen to it, You have to understand it. You have to FEEL it.

Out on the dancefloor, this song. What a feeling. Miss it so much.

The 'record shop owner' mentioned was the Blues & Soul critic Dave Godin whose support and commentary played a significant role in the development of the Northern scene. This podcast is exactly what I'd hoped to avoid. It's a dissection that attempts to capture what the Northern Scene was about but fails to identify that there was so much more about this scene and the love of genuinely great music. Of course there was a 'pop' element to some of the music, inevitable I suppose, but once you begin to explore the roots of this scene then it's clear that there was a sincere love for the music of Black America.........oh, and as for the Bruce Lee reference, what planet are the commentators on? An erroneous inclusion that only someone who never experienced the Northern scene might imagine had value.....trust me, it didn't!

Arnold McCuller version in the Warriors film is a great version too

Absolute ACE !

Awesome Iconic Northern Soul 🎵🎷💃🕺🎥, Northern Soul Keep the Faith.

A local made northern soul tailormade clothes mainly for the men. RIP Rocksey Rob 😢 & yes, he was always going to the all nighters

narrators need more depth to the research

Bruce Lee had nothing to do with the dancing. Niters were fueled by amphetamines, AKA - gear, whizz , speed . Yes!!, illegal drugs & the scene would not have been the same without it. Nobody in the history of NS, has ever had vocal fry , it was banned [ until now]. Don`t believe anything the BBC says, they are clueless middle class , dinner party wafflecocks. You both sound like you should be selling furniture on a shopping channel .

It had fk all to do with bruce lee ffs , typical yanks missin the party and werent there , then trying to claim new york was a hub ? Yes for poppers and gay disco music , it was the artists you forgot about we loved then and now , and made them gods of music on our uk scene . Where skin colour didnt matter They still are reveared . And rightly so . Soon as heard the havent got a clue accent i stopped watchin

NS was not an escapism for economic probelms we werent bothered about that it was just good music and popular as far south as Cambridge back in the day

Why do Americans feel the need to introduce total bullshit into a social phenomenon they know nothing about. Have these people actually been to Wigan Casino?

First time there, it was awesome nothing like the social clubs I end up at every other weekend 👍

'Other layers' Lol. I think you are referring to Amphetamines...

Bruce lee bit total bs

From someone that went regularly to the Casino in the mid 70's and other clubs i never saw a Bruce Lee film LOL.Moves were made up in my bedroom and not the big screen.Keep enjoying the soul scene everyone.

This video is pure waffle. 😅

The dance moves were influenced by visiting American soul acts, such as Jackie Wilson and James Brown, not Bruce Lee movies. The Northern soul scene started in 1967 at the Twisted Wheel Manchester, and the Bruce Lee movies were released in the 1970s.

Hi, my name is johnny beggs, im one of the original Golden Torch All Nighter dj's. I was 17 when i worked there. Ive been doing it all of my life, been to all the clubs, dj'd all over the uk, Germany,France,Austria, and many times in the USA, mainly in and around the Pittsburgh area. One sentence to me describes the northern soul scene. A very close freind of Jamaican descent said to me..."once you've been to it, you can't get away from it, its in your blood, and the people you know are your friends for life"..

Genius movie. Watch it.

Fake, sadly, but caught the moment.

I remember in the late 70s seeing New York B-boys and b-girls busting moves to a looped break for the first time and thinking wow ! , here are people on the other side of the world doing Northern Soul dance moves to a repeating break, and thinking , how cool is that. Then wondering if by chance an American tourists had been to an all-nighter, seen the dance moves and took the style back to New York. Who knows?. On our way to a all-nighter we would practice dance moves on the train station platform with northern soul played on a portable cassette player recorder whilst waiting for the train to where ever the all-nighter was we were going to. We'd get a crowd of travelers around watching us dance. One time as we gathered I things to board the train and women approached, she told me she was a choreographer and had a dance studio in London, gave me her card and said get in touch. Me being a ignorant working class boy didn't know what a choreographer was at the time lol. Oh well. That same cassette player recorder was then used to record live at the all-nighter. I used to have quite a collection recorded from various all-nighters across the country including the Wigan Casino. It sounds like a weird obsession to those not on the scene, but if you are on the Northern Soul scene you will get it, and see it as a perfectly normal thing to have done at the time. KTF!
