Northern Soul In Exeter Devon, Yes in the South West of England how about that! Spread the word people & Open up the Clubs, learn this dance, listen to the music & pass it on. ( Keep The Faith )
The scene will never die,i am 40 and my older sister got me into it,my son is 12 and he loves the music,dance and scene.Northern Soul will never die .KEEP THE FAITH
Pete, Northern soul will never die, it`s been going since the sixties, was big in the seventies early eighties, dipped quite a bit, but is back now bigger then ever and will continue for decades too come. More and more younger people are getting into it and watching them on the dance floor is like going back to the good old days of the seventies, long may it continue. KTF
. Northern soul is here to stay it will never die out as the younger generation is keeping it alive just like me at 18yrs old I can't dance but learning to at home. I got into northern soul by accident with the shredded west ad from a few years ago I heard the song it's just gotta be that way and fell in love with it then I picked up a soul cd and it was on it the cd was move on up the very best of northern soul I listened to it and watched TH-cam videos of soul dancing and I thought I wanna be part of this now I am like I said I can't dance but I'm learning a few things and ok I'm not the thinnest guy but I would love to start dancing and start going to soul nighters but it's not just for dancing its for the music aswell as the passion for northern soul. Keep the faith guys✊🏻
It will never die, it just becomes more sought after. I'm 43 and I remember working with some real northern soul nutters. I love the music and so does my lad who loved it from being a 5 year old and hearing Laura Greene singing Moonlight, Music and You. Awesome.
About 12 months after Wigan closed, Morecambe Peer started doing nighters and was chocker. The scene never died, it simply went back underground, and was better for it.
Danny campion456 Wow, that's just Great Danny cos I got into NORTHERN SOUL at 13 too and I still love this magical music just as much now and I'am = 52 so please do.............................KEEP THE FAITH ....................................oh yeah
Die out? You kidding, have you seen the youngsters taking this up, the Manchester's Northern Soul Dancers were even on the Brits 2014. Music is too good it will live on!
The final words of the vid Die a Death !!! Just the type of perspective of the of someone capitalizing on a spin off to the soul scene. You can revive it as long as you like but never relive it. I was drawn back to the soul scene not by the same old big 500 as Kev Roberts laid down but to the unknown under played records we missed at the time. It was a concern the scene would die out at one time but we only scratched the surface when it came to the music. The younger soul guys have leached on to this now after doing the kings hall more than once, The same old same old gets a bit boring when your a youngster.. We would have never accepted it back in the day as every week there was something new to here. That's why a club like the Black Bee in Manchester is thriving the young kids are now discovering wot most of us never got to here in the way of great up tempo soul music. So the soul scene goes back to its underground roots thanks to these youngsters and those with a bit more vision than the Bleckpool revivalist...
crazyman603 Same here cos that Northern Soul music simply lift's up ya mood so it's time to fly around to those Northern Soul Sounds and just let our troubles melt away & get real high.........................................so KEEP THE FAITH.............................oh yeah
ohh ,,:) saying that ,,radio one is a bit silly ,,i used to call it radio cold play ,,cause thats all the ever did ,,, i was bored to death of it ,,bland wallpaper, mundane, moaning on,,catering for students ha
No nothing to say in France i respect,but what its northern soul iits huge and c'est la classe ouvrière They say dosnt get girls only dance je suis à terre
The guy that said NS will die is wrong , there's some big tunes , that have stood the test of time and will continue to do so. I'll keep dancing till I drop and younger people are joining the scene all the time so while venues keep playing the tunes and more modern soul , the dancing,the music will carry on like life itself. KtF
Pete and Lynne from Soul Clobber , Lovely couple so sad you guys stopped trading you supplied the best gear available. Northern Soul will never die, KTF
The 'fancy dress' these blokes insist on selling stunt the growth of the soul scene, I don't know who's idea it was to start selling the baggy trouser/bowling shirt ensemble as a NS uniform but those who sell it and buy it must have only had a very narrow window on the scene back in the day. Yes baggies were worn in the mid 70s as were bowling shirts, but only for a few years, just check the old videos you will find very few if any wearing stuff these blokes sell. For no more than a couple of years we wore second hand bowling shirts shipped from America with something like diner or garage adverts on the back not Tamla Motown of Keep the Faith. Our baggies were generally battered from dancing and loafers had been a thing of the early 70s which we had worn with sta press etc. by the late 70s we had started to wear peg trousers and straight leg jeans, in fact soulies just followed the current fashion trends the same as any other kids. This uniform dates the scene to a window between approx 1974/76 about the time that 'Footsie' reared it's ugly head and the masses came running. It does the scene no favours as attracting new folk, it was a naff look in the 70s and it is just a joke in 2015.
I couldn't agree nore bruv. These plonkers make the scene look like one of these Rock n Roll nights with 70 year old Teds donning their zoot suits out of mothballs for the night. More divvy looking twats making money out of the scene dont care who they are . Nowt wrong with a shit hot PJ collar shirt now tho =D
I had a pair of oxblood fringed,tassled weaver slip ons I would use black polish on. Loved those shoes to bits. Musta resoled them a dozen times with that metal clip in the heel. Everyone wore those crossover ones. Great for dancing tho. I remember having a long wedgr on 76 and getting a first pair of Bass weejun loafers woth a 1 ceny in and a darkest blue Mohair peg suit with a navy with white trim Fred Perry. Looked the dogs dangleys. I actually talked to Bowie about it that we dressed like it at Niters and he loved it.
im 33 so im what you call a late starter...the NS scene "died" in the early 80s....but the music is forever,and the scooter lads have these do's all summer long....robin hood rhyl in september...will be ace
alan batty its the dick that told him to shove off n then said what northern soul was ,,wat a dik ,,ive met the other lad ,,a lovely lad he is ,,the other is a prat egotesticle nob
Richard sterling bob on,a good dj plays to the floor,not what he wants to play,been venues with empty floors just because the dj wants play his expensive piece of rare shit PLAY TO OUR FLOOR
Had to sign in 4 this Ear u ole codjers, im 50 hahahaha Seriously u cant let this die out lads This sort of decent scene has gone from London No u cant let it die out In London its full of nasty slack stuff I grew up in the Reggae scene in the late 70s The decent Reggae scene Seriously lads 4 the sake of our kids u gona keep this clean family stuff goin These decent standards hav gota remain mate an they should b the norm in any decent society wots got any respect 4 itself Londons lost it lads wish u all the Best x
Northern Soul. There really isn't any definition, description or explanation for it. There is no type of person, no particular class, ethnicity, age, or regional hierarchy. If you have simply been lucky enough to have been in some place, at some time, when the music touched you in a spot you didn't know you had. .... Baby you've got it.
I'm a Project Accountant, no matter where I worked there was always a Soulie, Aldershot, Horwich, Farnborough, Manchester, Glasgow, Worksop, Chester, North Wales, Whitchurch.... Northern Soul will never die.... , KTF
Cant help but think this guy has researched Northern soul.....than actually having been there back in the day.....still....if he's making a good living selling TAT...T shirts...mugs...coasters....ashtrays.....of course a lot of us took up with Northern soul,because it was a move away from tacky pop commercialism
God bless you mate in this vid, right up til near the end when you said it will die of death like Rave....Not a chance Northern Soul will live on.. Trust me???
I'm sorry to admit but the northern soul scene will fizzle out. Yes, there have been a few mainstream P.R. stunts and pop videos featuring young people dancing in the northern soul style in an effort to rekindle the buzz of the early 70s, but it clearly hasn't worked.Most northern clubs are predominantly white, bald, portly males aged between 45 and 60.No educated, cool, cutting edge youth of between 15 and 24 would find the attraction in that. OK, maybe a handful, but never mainstream.
It's wonderful to see all the clothes and all the dancing so good as well just love seeing it so much and the music just great .well done everyone .

Sid belton. Keep the faith lad. David from Scotland
Sad to see the scene and the culture are still ruled by arrogance and division. That's what caused so many to walk away in the 80's.
Sid belton at the start of the video is my danceflòor hero.KTF

Very much like the skinhead scene. I'm pretty sure Northern Soul has its roots in the mod scene. James Brown and the likes?
