Fantastic memories ❤️

Thank you I love that song ❤❤❤

Leeds Central Soul club then on to the all-nighter at the peer Cleethorpes. Samantha's at Sheffield was another good one. Later the KGB etc etc my god we lived in breathed it. It was the perfect environment for a neuro divergent aka dyslexia autism ADHD a world of your own, zoned into the music, a can of talcum powder in your pocket on a dance floor without having to socialize, my god it was so good, so much so I carried on attending various nighters all days and soul nights open down the country for decades, until a life changing accident stole all that from me. It's only now that I can talk about it. my god, I miss it.

The man is a lifelong poet. The Jam in 1977…….

I’m 66 followed NS all my life was privileged to go to Wigan I fxcking loved it I remember on an all weekender most of the chemists got robbed across the country lol

I'm 62 and I will never forget about Wigan casino 🎰 I think I was very lucky to have been there and I think that it was brilliant thanks for the memories 😂😂❤brilliant 👍 👌 keep the faith Steve from Stockport who was there heaven ❤️

No one has mentioned the widespread use of speed that was required to keep dancing all night

One of the contributors fails to mention that the original Mod movement of the early 60’s was essentially a working class thing with the Northern Soul style coming later and embracing some of the Mod style.

the records came off the boats from america...liverpool etc. the ports supplied an illicit stream of vinyl....they played those records away from the prying eyes of the mainstream. Much less underground than rave culture. Funny what the north of the country does for the world.

Beautiful song

Please, what is the song in the background from minute 18 to 20?

💫♾️💫 🌞♾️🌊 ❤

Absolutely Outstanding Magnificent Absolutely Remarkably So Interesting Throughout The Film Thank You For Sharing

Bill Brewster makes some interesting observations, but not entirely accurate. On the council estates of Wigan, Warrington, Leighh and St. Helens, as a youngster, you heard Tamla and then Northern. And then you thought....that's for me. But you had to LIVE there to understand its impact. And then after the weekend we either went back to school or back to a job in a factory. That was the culture.

Cheating kind sold a few months ago for same price

Remember vernon😊

Wigan casino all the way

Absolutely brilliant! Took me back to some magical times that will never be repeated, unfortunately (especially backdrops with my plumbers knees😂.)Great film.😊

Great music, but why the gymnastics, was it a competition?

Special song this to me ... sounds so much better accoustic ... days of speed album was unbelievable .

Brilliant documentary , I was first introduced to Northern Soul at 17 years old in the "Out Rigger" pub in Birmingham by a girl I knew called Lisa , I heard "Billy Ocean, Love Really Hurts Without You" I said I liked the song , the DJ was selling singles so she bought it for me it was a double A side with"Red Light Spells Danger" I've been hooked even since 👍 !

We were so Lucky, Keep The Faith ❤🇬🇧

Yup wheel soaking with sweat puddles of sweat x😊

Weren't we so thin then?

Does any one know what effect he has on his guitar that’s creating the harmonics?

Im 63..never will there be great days and nighters like this again..Nice to see the younger generation k.t.f and keeping the northern soul scene going..BUT they will never feel what "we" the older generation felt the first time around..ain't no soul like the old sole..and thats the truth.✊

Used to dance on the balcony of mr ms

When im drunk sometimes, i sing this in bed to my darling wife.

Andy from darwen 70 now hip replacement now still love the music born in Preesall nr Blackpool me and my best mate evry Saturday went to the Highland room then call in at sharie grill across from the abc Brill food after the back drops spins did all again the following week ktf

What's the song at the end? 38:26

What a legend

Anybody know the last record playec

for me the northern soul scene was a place where the kids who didn't fit in were welcomed with open arms. The kids who weren't good at school, the lads who were in bother all the time with the bizzies, the bad lads that the rest of society looked down on.........the "mal-adjusted", the problem kids...........that was US. And once we found NS we didn't give a flying shit what anybody else thought about us. We knew we were ok among our own but to then to have that bangin mooosic too was just heaven. I did find heaven!! Nobody bollocking me. Nobody whacking me round the head. Nobody telling me what to do. I was ME and the world worked just fine. And i fitted in. And I loved it. Everyone else was the same.............we were one big happy family and looked out for each other. Nothing will be the same again...............the rave scene followed Northern and was really good but it wasn't the same, it just tried to be. NS changed my life and very nearly took it too but I wouldn't change a thing if I could live it over again. KTF!! ❤❤❤❤❤

I loved it. But dancing days are over for me. 60. Now

Brilliant music and dancing

I'm watching this again and just thinking if you could go back for those few tears and put it all in a bottle to keep returning to the world would be a better place than the shit world we are in now.

Simon Hunt was one of the first PUNKS I knew . . late 70's

Magic place ! Russ sold me my first cable package 🙂

Wow! Beautiful.

Awesome. Totally relate. Still the same at 57.. My dancing days are over.. However I still get that buzz when I listen to the music.. I was 14 my 1st experience of Wigan I'm eternally grateful 😁

Wonderful then wonderful now truly wonderful sounds wish I was young again

Quem sabe faz ao vivo!

Quite a few exaggerations going on here, but Franny's is the best "no bags getting stolen" 😂

I went to a party resently four young people were dancing and I was mesmerized ,it turned out it was NS , I was a great dancer in my time I'm 65 now and I'm devastated I missed out on this brilliant dancing ☺
