Northern Soul Lovers!

Anyone see this program about Northern Soul, it was shown last week and repeated last night worth watching. It's still available on i player for a few days! :)

BBC iPlayer - The Culture Show: 2013/2014: Northern Soul - Keep the Faith (Signed)

One point mentioned was that the scene was fuelled by illegal drugs, mainly nicked from chemists.

I wasn't into Soul, though I had friends that were.

They spent many a night in Wigan enjoying themselves, there was no drinking and anyone using drugs, well their feet didn't touch on the way out.

Did you have a nick name at School, if so, can I guess what it was?

No, don't give me a clue.

I reckon it was Ace, as in Ace Hole!
:rolleyes:

I didn't want to go, I was more into rock (closet soul) I knew 3 main people who went in 75 and 76 and all told me they took drugs though they didn't go together and that drug taking was majority pursuit not minority.
