I think you meant 'poetry in motion'
Reminds me of when I sang 'got busted' instead of 'ghostbusters'

You should have been at Accy Disco in '67 - one of the places where Northern Soul started.

Re: Favorite Memories of Accrington
northern soul was a great period,most of which passed me by, due to just being wed, some great music, much of it though was stuff that never made it in the 60s n was resurrected.

Re: Favorite Memories of Accrington
Northern Soul has a big following throughout the country, with some of the best nights being in the north west.
We've had some great nights in Bury, Burnley and Blackburn with the Spanish Room at Blackpool Winter Gardens being a Superb Night. (Not all the towns start with B though)
The wife and I are keen Soulies and as the phrase goes "Keeping the Faith".

Re: Favorite Memories of Accrington
I used to love going to Wigan Casino during the 70's - great sounds, great atmosphere. The Old Band Club and the British Legion in Accy put on some good nights as well. Like all types of good music (rhythm 'n' blues, rock 'n' roll etc), it never dies!

My other half comes from the Wgan area Wynonie, and I've been round to where the old Casino was, you stand there and is just a car park with a plack say the the casino was here, but still bings back happy memories of the all nighters

Re: Favorite Memories of Accrington
Used to live on Westwood St and when the 3-day working week and power cuts was in use my Mum took me to the Knowlmere St Ballroom because they had power when ours was off LOL. I ended up going there for about 6 years and won a couple of comps for the Latin American and Waltz.
