One Direction vs Northern Soul (Lack of Afro - Recipe For Love)

The location of the One Direction Video - Clevedon Pier - a wonderful spot to film a recently released soul record with a Northern Soul Beat. Filming this was tricky as no filming was allowed, but we just thought - "lets do this!" The fisherman were a bit bewildered and they make great extras - Iranian New Wave Style. Later the Pier staff saw the video and enjoyed it enough to ask me to DJ at one of their events. If you ever get the chance....take a stroll along this magnificient piece of History - Clevedon - North Somerset.
Tune at the same location as the One Direction single new release "You and I".

Welcome to my channel. I make lots of music based videos, mainly dancing to really nice music. My music choices are based on having a first love of Soul and Funk music, although I love a lot of different types of music and rhythms. I enjoy sharing this love and making videos to re-imagine those tunes. I try to mix up classics with tunes not so well known, and putting creative and artistic visuals to the tunes can be fun and interesting, and the process of making videos is part of my journey which has led me to do lots of different things. I have released my own CD through Universal Music, and I have worked with many different companies and style brands where Music or Dance has been part of the campaign. I have worked for the BBC on Strictly as a choreographer, and danced with Pharrell at The Brits. I have had Music Radio Shows and I DJ as part of @streetsofsoul and sometime we put on events too!!

That’s it! I thought I recognised it, but couldn’t quite place it. I was working in Clevedon last year for a few months. If I had known this young lady was going to be grooving along the pier I would have volunteered as a backing dancer! 😎 Anyway, thanks for clarifying that.

[@graemehorne7641]

Wow...what a terrific performance. I spent hours fishing on the pier as a young kid, often alongside David Bryant, World Bowls Champion for many years, (who taught me to play table tennis by the way in the library at Highdale). Later, living in Surrey, I became a bit of a well known dancer in clubs and competitions....between 1978 and 1980....winning or close in several pretty big events. Grant Santino was the 78 ( I think) Disco champion but he was only third in one of our big competitions. This girl is an amazing dancer and, with that smile, that footwork and that venue....brilliant. Thank you!!

Simon Cowell and his cronies monopolising the music business. On the menu Souless banal crap, the apex being mediocrity. Northern Soul stands on a platform , still going strong from the 60,s untill present day. If One Direction is the flag bearer of today , well , the future is bleak. Soul music is my passion , it will never die. Great track , excellent video , thank you.

@electric rhetoric Yes, I'm obviously not an angler! I did think the word I used was a bit fishy though............As a side note, it appears that in this age of "equality' the word "Fishermen" was to be changed to "Fisherpeople" (why not 'Fisherfolk"), but as the number of women who go to sea to catch fish is so minimal, that seems a bit daft
