  • No probs. here it is again from what I can remember.

    Lookin at the average age in this vid just proves that Northern never was a fad. For the true soulsters it hooked have never left, or have come back, to their roots. No other music scene can boast such committment.

    Although I'm a Lincs lad I always enjoyed being around the South Yorks crowd. You always knew where you stood with 'em.

    Remember a few good nights at the Brickyard.

  • Buddy Miles - Brilliant but cant find it to download or buy. Any ideas Please

    Can find by other artists

  • @nlpwithwholebeing Bill Payne is my dad.

  • Not many people realise that if you draw a line through Mexborough, it's actually the centre of South Yorkshire in terms of Sheffield, Doncaster, Rotherham and Barnsley. I have always said that Mexborough is the heart of northern soul. Sod Wigan.

    Great pictures of all the people I know so well. Wish I had taken the opportunity to capture so many characters past and present. Maybe next time.

  • Used to go to the Empress Ballroom All-Nighters in the late 70's with Bill Payne and Malc Burton. Happy Days !

  • Yes! Perfect video!

    Thanks for posting!
