Hello i'd like to introduce myself my name is Darryl i live in Torpoint Cornwall but was born and bred in Devonport or Demport as we locals used to call it !. i've been into Northern Soul since i first heard Archie Bell and the Drells "Here i go again"in 1973 i still own the very same record bought in Woolies all those years ago along with Guy Darrell's "i've been hurt". i went to the Wigan Casino only once back in 1976 to the third anniversary,being a brickie apprentice then money was tight so i mainly went to the 150 club in Union St, Plymouth great times never forgotten,my wife sadly is not a Northern fanatic she thinks i'm a sad 70's throwback mainly due to my wardrobe consisting of loads of Ben Shermans and Sta Prest and the very trousers i wore to the Casino made by Bruce Gorman they cost me £20 then and they still fit along with the all leather shoes i wore sadly there aint no soul left in those old shoes !!!and she also likens Northern Soul to line dancing !!! she also had a fit the other day when she found out i paid £200 for an Ace Face Tonic Harrington !! i have been to a couple of soul nights in the Vodoo lounge in Plymouth +a Torquay soul night and will still be going to as many as i can. i am now a Postie,but spent some time in the Royal Marines, i once worked in a meat factory and as a brickie.so 4 jobs in 35 years is pretty good going these days. well thats about it from me .

Ha - sorry for changing your sex Darryl and welcome to the site, Archie Bell is one of my favourites also. Will be good to see you out and about - Joe Dean from Barnstaple is also a postie - an old Twisted Wheel boy. Keep on keeping the faith!!
