:)Just moved to Torbay. Dont know much bout area, but found this site. I would love to find local soul clubs, niters. I was casino member from 1978 to closing. I lived in Oswestry north wales, and we would go from pub at midnight to Wigan , every weekend. Oh my !!! there was and is nothing like it. Dancing all nite, John Peel would play a session in the back room. Alternative. Us girls all wore those granny sandles and big pleated skirts which swirled round your head . Still have my holdall bag and badges and all my records. we used to trade records in the little back room, labels were important!! After it closed we went to Stoke on trent for niters or Quaffers in manchester or Yate. But it was never the same. I was there....sweating, and dancing my lil white socks off. At the time it didnt seem like such a big thing. Just our usual wkend at Wigan for Northern Soul. Most of our friends were into punk then. But Wigan was my life. Nothing to compare. Dance all night, mega sounds, no alcohol, walk out of those big wooden doors at 7 am, everyone changing in the toilets to go straight to work or off to the local swimming pool and we,d get in the car and drive on to the next all dayer often falling asleep on the motorway. Would love to know if any of you were there and maybe we met? I was one of the girl dancers ON THE FLOOR TONIGHT.
