Alternatively all turn up at a club night. Before we had the kids it was one of the ways I got the job out of my system. I used to knock off at 0100 hrs, get changed and catch a bus into town for the 100 club. One minute you would be working on the trucks and the next dancing away to an obscure Chicago soul tune. It kept me sane at times. ake care, Pete.

I tended to stick to the classic northern soul stuff (the ones I could remember) but mates of mine used to go an independant record shop in our local train station that had all the latest releases from the states etc. Ah vinyl those were the days!

I was too young for Wigan – did you ever get to Stafford, Whitchurch, Shotts, the 100 Club and those 80s venues?
‘Right Back’ is one of the brilliant early Kent compilation albums from about 1984 – I still have it, along with For Dancers Only, For Dancers Also and the rest of the first 50 releases, at which point I started on original vinyl.
I like your idea, except that all the amphetamine-induced heart attacks and psychoses might be problematic!

Emma…Happy New Year and best wishes and all that. Am now looking forward to Easter! xx

Perhaps annoying music, to discourage useless calls.

Always packed, noisy and the mecca for Northern Soul. Scary stuff when I think back to how long a go it was!
