Been a lover of Northern Soul & Tamla Motown music since the age of thirteen. Finally made it to Wigan Casino (albeit only twice) in the summer of 1981, short period at Clifton Hall Rotherham, and Queen's Hall Bradford, then a bit of a break till the late 90's. Went off the rails slightly in about 1981 when I got into the 'New Romantic' thing..oh the clothes I wore..Finally got back into the Northern Scene in 1997. Throughout the last 11years I have met some wonderful people, firm friendships have been formed.Northern Soul...My way of life..long may it continue.
