MESSAGE: In about 1971 I went for the first
time to The Torch in Tunstall mainly because I’d been soul mad as a young teenager
and I read about it in Blues & Soul magazine as ’the’ soul club. I knew so
little about it that on my 1st visit to The Torch (embarrasingly) I was inapporpriately
dressed as I went in a suit!! A lot of people must have guessed it was my first time. I
carried on going occasionally to The Torch and then after it closed later to all dayers at
The Top Rank at Hanley, then to Blackpool Mecca and finally like everyone to Wigan Casino.
However I only went to Wigan for 2 years from 1973 to 1975 as after that I moved to London
then overseas and have been away from the UK for 20 years . I’m amazed at all the
interest still in Northern Soul..... I used to go a lot with my brother and some friends -
also went to The Catacombs in Wolverhampton but found it a bit dingy. My favourite records
were: Cry Your Eyes Out - Dottie Cambridge (this is one I hardly ever hear mentioned on
favourite lists & it was never mentioned in the Wigan Casino book nor in any of the
documentaries) I think I first heard it at The Torch? Can anyone else remeber this record.
I bought it for about 20p in a 2nd hand record shop in Coventry when it was quite big on
the scene. An early favourite was PP Arnold’s " Everything’s Gonna be
Alright" This was one of those that made your heart skip a little beat every time it
played in the early days. The later as the scene developed I got to really like " It
Reall Hurts me Girl" The Carstairs althoug I still associate it more with The Mecca
than I do Wigan. I’m sure I heard this more at The Mecca? I wish more people would
write to this page and contribute their memories.

MESSAGE: Apart from all those Poms in
Australia, am I the farthest flung Northern Soul fan on the planet. I started going to The
Torch in about 71 then graduated to Wigan via Blackpool Mecca (Highland Room) & the
all dayers run by Chris Burton at Top Rank Hanley. It’s a funny thing but in all the
fuss about ’Wigan’ I hardly ever hear anyone talk about The Torch or about the
all-dayers at the Top Rank at Hanley which were excellent and yet they’re hardly ever
mentioned.now!! Sorry, I must be very old, well I’m 46 now.... What ever happened to
Frank Elson who wrote the B&S " Check out the North" column? I was mentioned
in thee once..... sad claim I know, who wasn’t mentioned?? Hi to everyone who ever
made it to Tunstall (The Torch) Blackpool Mecca, & of course Wigan.... Thanks to Rob
Moss from Coventry, my introduction to soul & hi to my brother Nick Wetton and Rob

MESSAGE: Well I’m still
aching like crazy from Sunday. The night started around 8.30pm at a Ritz warm up bash at
JO JO’s in Oldham, about 10 miles from Manchester. People were there from all over
the North West, and as far as Southampton consisting of old faces, very old faces, plus
I’m pleased to say new ones. We stayed there until about 11.00pm getting psyched up
listening to some real music, not the crap you’re forced to swallow on the radio. We
parked the cars next to the Ritz and started to join the queue chatting about all sorts -
football, cars, beer, work old scooter run stories, telling jokes and laughing unless it
was one of Billy’s. Anyway within 30 - 40 minutes were in, wrestling our money
through the cashiers slot, through the double swing door’s and AHHH...... Northern
Soul at 150mph and loud enough to make your ears bleed. Well, the night went quickly as it
always seems to do, (to me) and the
excellent line up of jocks played out of their skins totally satisfying around 1200 hungry
souls. Even with the present ever busy Northern Soul scene in the North West of England, I
along thousands of others will always go hungry, but then again I don’t want a belly
full. In reply to your question "do I know you." Probably
not as I’ve never been to OZ. Unless of course you’ve been here and graced our
danced floors...... If you haven’t you should. Anyway I’m off now so take care, and of course

MESSAGE: My name is Jason and I am a true
Northern fanatic. I'm 26 years old and from Wheeling, West Virginia originally. I have
been collecting records since 1978 since the age of 6. I have been through many different
styles of music throughout my life, but nothing satisfies me more than Northern. I have
been listening to Northern Soul all my life, but didn't recognize it until 1991. I
listened to Northern records to see what the common thread was in terms of sound. Now that
I've been listening for so many years, I discover my own Northern newies. In 1984 I became
a skilled hip hop/house DJ. I then took my mixing to a new level by blending and cutting
northern records. In Baltimore, we have a night once a month in Club Midnite. I do my
northern soul mixes to a sometimes packed dance floor. Now that I live in Baltimore, I
actually meet people with my interest. Goldmine CD's have also been a great help. But I
must say that your site and others like it are long overdue! When I lived in West
Virginia, I had no connection with the Northern Soul community for years-now I do-and I'm
very happy. Thanks for bringing me home, Mick!
Best Personal Regards, Jason H. Thornton.
P.S. I welcome all e-mail from other soul fans. I have a lot of record collecting under my
belt, and I could be a good source of information.
