Last Wednesday evening was great viewing for anyone interested in northern soul. Made me want to go and purchase a pair of 30" bags and Oxford shoes.

Just wish me hips were up to it these days.

Can still go and have some fun, no?

I'd love to Rick but dislocation would be a real risk

The music is still fantastic and anyone who enjoys NS, being in a dance hall and trying to resist the urge to dance is futile.

Arse. You've reminded me I was intending to catch up with it on iplayer and I think it's gone now. :x

Sorry to hear that.

FWIW I think that it might still be worth going. If you really struggle to not dance / risk injury then you can always hesd home.
I'm sure you'd enjoy the vibe and having those memories come back.

I stumbled on the prog because I'm a Paul Mason fan. Know a few of the tunes. Didn't know it was a scene just like rave.

Bollox - no reason why you shouldn't be able to boogie on down. How long has it been since the op Frankie tankie?

'bout eight month now fella. I'm sure I'd be up to it but I really don't want to find out the hard way. If it weren't for bad luck I wouldn't have any luck at all. I could dance but I'd want to chuck myself around like I I used to, not really advisable.

Mum had both her hips done within the last year and she's fit to boogie

I would advise against body popping though

*Nice reference, but not Northern Soul

My two titanium jobs work just fine in the oingy boingy wiggling department department - just ask Sean's Mum

Glad to hear your Mums fit to boogie Sean, you're as young as the woman you feel, right now I feel like a 21 year old :P

Well assuming that you're not about 5 years old, your mum is unlikely to be 21 so she doesn't fit in
