[DukeofSanchez]

Thanks Red. At the risk of being redundant that first stomper is "Sidras Theme," the instrumental version of, "As Long As You Love Me." by Ronnie and Robyn; then

Bob Relf , Blowing My Mind To Pieces; Followed by Len Barry, "1 - 2 - 3" and closing with the MVP's, "Turning My Heatbeat Up."

Yeah mate, it was our 'local' so to speak. Me and some boys from Newbury and Merther Tydvil, Sth Wale opened a shop in London and carried on doing Nighters in the 100 Club, Oxford St up until 1982.

I've found a lot of old friends thru YT and 'our' music.

Ktf mate.......feel free to download a playlist from my site. Jack

[bluenotejazz]

Many of those records are worth a small kings ransom nowadays

[skatemonk]

What's the ransom for a small king these days?

[MickeyLove01]

I kidnapped a dwarf king and got £7.50 for his safe return

[JackMDT8888]

About 3 squids at Burger king mate......and still not worth it!!!

[isobella50]

Sidras Theme,

[TooDarnSoulful]

Brilliant ....who remembers that bin for the tickets ....lmao :)) ktf

[msstylzs]

This is crazy WOW

[tonym650]

Blowing my mind to pieces Bob Relf. Funny that although Len Barry was popular in the charts, never remember hearing it at a Northern Soul event. Seemed that if anything got popular,or in the charts, Northern soul'ers dumped it.

[tellit2]

Very cool Fella,

Respect.

[chopper79wood]

jek13051954 - I used to go to the Torch after the Catacoonmbs (W'ton). Also Witchurch alldayers, Up the Junction in Crewe, Brit rowing club Notts, Blackpool mecca etc. Great times. Best memories. Still love the sounds! KTF

[Finomej]

memories of stomping round the dance floor with my boyfreind aged just 17, dancing to What by Judy street, anyone remeber her? just so cool to take a trip down the northern soul street again, ahhh where are my pollyveldts

[jek13051954]

Does any body remember the Twisted Wheel Manchester,The Bin Lid Dewsbury, The Torch Tunstall Stoke on Trent (the best all nighter destination ever)and Heavy Steam Machine Hanley ( Sundays alldayers after the Torch)These are the foundations on which Wigan was built.

Keep the Faith Kenny Formaly Cleckheaton and Dewsbury.

[JackMDT8888]

Yes mate....we drove up from Cornwall to most. The Torch and Blackpool Mecca were the dogs dangly bits, & a place in Oldham I can't remember the name of, and Sheffield, and Yate outside Bristol...we went everywhere, bought my 1st car at 14 and we just caned it all over....1500mile weekends......

Keep on Keepin' On mate.....

[Mosesnick]

Last three songs played each night at Wigan:

Toby Legend - 'Time Will Pass You By'

Jimmy Radcliffe - 'Long After Tonight Is All Over'

Dean Parrish - 'I'm On My Way'

Keep The FAITH guys, also watch 'Northern Soul, This England' on this very youtube, mainly for probably the most eloquent man I've ever seen on TV: the lad who says "...people have to build more or less an alternative society..."

He's a class lad

[unifiedfield]

Part of this video shows my mates at TOTW Stafford. I see Pete Lawson, Tommo and Guy to name a few. I never knew this footage existed. Is there any more?

Sidra's Theme by Ronnie & Robyn

[the12shades]

The other venue is Stafford TOTW

[bantambanter]

Hi everyone does anyone know any websites with info, photos etc of Sheffield Samanthas allnighters, looked everywhere, now i need help.. going through a phase of nostalgia,

cheers martin (selby)

[red777photo]

Sheffield Samanthas allnighters great i was at them as well as cliffton hall rotherham, but could kick myself never thoght about taking photos

[blubrit]

@red777photo I Used to ride my Lambretta from Slough to go to Clifton Hall, always arrived tired, thirsty but ready to dance. The venue was excellent and I have 3 good years of memories, anniversary patches but no photos, oh for an iPhone back then.

[lindab6]

wow, great video! brings back so many memories that feel like only yesterday! please have a look at my channel and listen to some of those great old casino and mecca songs in my vids! :0)

[kpthfaith]

I can't believe it, thats me at 2.34 just turning to the camera between Sidras theme and Bob Relf. Incidently does anyone have the vocal to Sidras theme as long as you love me I'l stay, equally as good as the vocal to exus trek.

[keepingthefaith72]

Yep Ive got it .. top sound as is this Instrumental version .. Awesome .. KTF..

[soulmkw]

hiya kpthfaith

seeing as you was there!where is it? everyone keeps telling me they have seen me[girl in blue suit at 3.14.gotta say i was shocked it does look like me but i know it isnt,at least

tell me where it was filmed!thanks x

[kpthfaith]

Hi soulmkw

The bit that I was in I think was either filmed in front of the bar downstairs at Wigan or Mr M's. The bit with you in I don't recognise It looks like the film has been cut together with some footage of a different club. We always wore long skirts at Wigan (easier to dance in) It looks more Mod to me but I could be wrong. Sorry I can't be more help.x

[soulmkw]

hi kpthfaith

thanks for replying

ktf x

[soulmkw]

QUALITY !!!

[boggyandbob]

ronnie and robin great insto, 2nd to the brothers are you ready for this ,, oh wat memories

[EscoDaGreat]

[EscoDaGreat]

whats the name of the first song?????

[CoalMiningPolak]

Sidra's Theme by Ronnie and Robyn

[MFIunit]

What's the name of the second track? Could someone please post/respond?

[anotherblonde]

Blowing my mind to pieces - Bob Relf . Keep the faith!

[CHEWDwivTHEinCrowd]

.. hope u don't mind me adding RED, those that followed Dave Goodin's articles then discovered almost a secret scene that had been established in the 60's (so credit whre credit's due) that remained almost a secret, by all but those that loved the tracks, ignored by all but police depts & newspapers reporting raids, until the much later commercialisation & media frenzy of the casino when tracks such as skiing in the snow, landslide & wigans chosen few appeared on national tv ie top of the pops!

[CHEWDwivTHEinCrowd]

AWESOME AND THEN SOME, THANKS for posting Red. Along with many others who weren't into the commercial music being churned out in music shops etc., we somehow found ourselves listening to hard to find blues & soul tracks, & started reading 'blues & soul' where we found Dave Godin writing articles about stuff we loved, we then went in search of clubs mentioned,hundreds of miles away.This was early 70's around the time Dave referred to this as'northern'and hence it's name, but we just said SOUL!

[red777photo]

turning my heartbeat up by the M.V.P's

[dunleavy64]

I never did drugs neither did my hubby or any of our circle of friends, just the pure enjoyment of the night keept you going.

[ballyhigh]

great footage, brings backs mems for me of the eighties...those white socks and the white powder u cud score in the lavs!

[drstevie]

class

[drstevie]

it was all amphet / uppers /barbs.

[red777photo]

only the decaf ones. i can't remember fishing hooks i would have thought it might be dangerous as when the barbs get in you can't get them out unless you go to casaulty.

[slyget]

Can only speak for myself and a few mates,and we certainly never drunk black coffee all night to keep us awake,I would say quite a decent majority were popping pills at wigan and other venues.

[red777photo]

Well i'll go to the top of our stairs, this comment has shocked me ,Drinamyl,dexedrine,duramine??­??

[sammious]

yer,lmao most from the boro lot,seconal tuninil,temeazpepam,diazapam,b­ut not till u done the chalkies,dospan,as for the speed,cough,

[ImUnionjack]

If it was from Peterborough it was probably something from me :D  HeeHee!!!! Oh yes

[spottydog4472]

Slyget -says your '25'.....so how would you know what went on??....i went to wigan on thwe bus from glasgow and my mates from northern ireland went too -nobody got glassed nobody fought..it wiz how it should have always been...

[red777photo]

smoking is bad,cannabis is bad,alcohol is bad,drugs are bad,people that do these things are bad LOL

[red777photo]

NONE. drugs are bad and only bad people take them,in the northern soul scene there are no bad people. the just drink lots of strong black coffee.

[StokeCity72]

Is it all at Wigan. Is there any footage of the Torch in Stoke available?

[Lionboy2930]

I'm sure if you type in Golden Torch you'll find something.

There was some a year ago which were quite good..but are no longer posted. Keep trying

[MissSkinheadReggae]

Great!!!! Sidra's Theme was also my intro when I used to put on records at the radio!

[swartkops]

First track was my intro at the Casino........best dance tune ever

[martialarts8]
