Walkabout in Blackpool last night… 21:38 - May 7 with 3343 viewsITFC_Forever

…. rammed full of Town fans belting out all the hits over the top of the DJ’s cheese-fest of a set.

And the Northern Soul bar opposite earlier in the evening was good as well.

Top night in a seaside town whose best days were multiple decades ago.

Absolutely quality night. Both places were excellent.

Fair play to the DJ as well in Walkabout. Revelled in pretending to be annoyed at us singing over every song whilst loving the fact the place was jumping.

He was loving it… I think he played Depeche Mode at least three times.

Then stopped taking requests for songs that were clearly football ones…. So we asked for Human League’s Don’t You Want Me… which he immediately stuck on thinking we couldn’t do any damage with that…. Conor Chaplin baby!

Yes. He walked straight into that one!

The Norwich goal celebration music was intentional. Caught him googling it a few tracks before he played it.

It was.

Some very confused women on the dance floor when the ITFC equivalent of a flash mob burst into song around them simultaneously.

And because no-one was wearing colours, they didn’t know where the next ones were going to pop up.

I swear at some points, we had all the main dance floor, plus a good part of the slightly raised bit.

The confusion was added to by a stag do load of random football shirts who were nothing to do with us.

The only ones not joining in with football songs were the blokes in football shirts.

Yep great night, the only downside was the crap burgher from the place next door. May have been revenge for the Town fans kicking a ball at the front his shop earlier in the evening.

Yep, not really explored the Northern Soul thing particularly in the past, but the DJ in there gave me a good education.

Is it purely a Northern Soul soundtrack in there? I’ve not been up there for years, but now have a cousin who lives in an apartment that was used by Laurel and Hardy when they appeared there, so I tempted to visit. Blackpool, like Wigan and Brighton, have finally decided to cash in on things they didn’t want to know about?

This was the bar opposite Walkabout, but yes, it was only Northern Soul in that one… I think it was simply called Soul Bar.

No there was a mixed bag being played. Even a bit of soulful house.

Edit. This was playing when I walked in.
