Did anyone else see that article in The Guardian today (Aug 20) about the heyday of northern soul in the mid-to-late '70s? http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2010/aug/21/northern-soul-soulboy-film
The seventh comment down under the article -- by DaveTheSuede -- says that northern soul "was kept alive through the 1980s in places like Burnley, Blackburn, Morecambe, Leicester, Yorkshire... and Stafford".
Is that true? What were the northern soul nights/clubs in Stafford? I was a bit young then, but would be interested to know if anyone can remember. Did anyone play here -- and where? My first big nights out were at Shelley's in Stoke and it was all a bit housey by that time. Not that I was complaining ...
PS My first post on SF!!
