Soul Weekenders Amidst the dreariness of north England, white working class youth reinvented their lives at Northern Soul all-nighters, dancing to forgotten black American soul singles from the 1960s. Down South, as Mods metamorphosed into skinheads, this cult focused more on Caribbean sounds - ska, rocksteady and reggae. They jerked to these itchy Jamaican rhythms in youth clubs from Catford to Croydon, Dagenham to Deptford. http://spiritualbolshevik.coco...

I don't even know what he's bitter about! I reckon he's just another London-centric twat, "If it ain't happenin' in London town, then it ain't happening!" kind of pish! Trevor Nelson took part in a documentary which involved him having to go to an allnighter,(Winsford I think),and tho' he didn't throw the accusation of racism at our scene, he looked very uncomfortable! When Keb Darge asked what was wrong, he admitted it was strange to see all these white guys dancing with passion! Go figure!

who's this Jazzie b..?...he did acid jazz, not like he was involved in the northern soul scene bit....maybe he likes to stereotype...that's why he disses it...maybe he's projecting his own prejudices?.. I've read his bio....fuckin hypocrite...

you'right...he did sound like a bitter black man....I'm not naive about the rasism in the north but c'mon....casino? racist?...there were no racists, why would they dance to black music he should go back to his little hole wherever he came from.

Yeah, he even admits "it's a good thing i didn't get into those clubs", so what would he know? Doesn't stop him talking shite unfortunately! KTF

Jazzy B is talking through his arse. I went up to Wigan and other venues with black mates on coach trips from Birmingham. There were plenty of black kids there and no racism! There were more white kids because most black kids were into reggae where I came from in the west midlands and probably all over the country. ktf
