I used to work at the KGB or Kay Gee Bee to give it it's full name.
I remember the northern soul nights really well and the utter committed passion that the majority of the people had for dancing the hours away. I particularily enjoyed the all-nighters and remember the huge amounts of coffee we'd sell. Seemed to have a lot of pretty girls attending the northern soul nights and as the idea was dancing rather than drinking ale there was little or no trouble.
A bit of northern soul can still be guaranteed to get my foot tapping although I'd never of dared to try to move at the speed that a lot of the guys did with all the weird and wonderful moves that now look like break dancing.

Yes, them were the day's

Used to go to the KGB as a lad. Still get it listen to northen on scooter rallys and a mate runs the KGB nights at Bar Abbey now.

Try Radio Stoke on friday nights Mary Fox show Motown and Northern Soul 7-9 can be picked up on internet and show is saved to be downloaded all week.
