I will now forever associate Northern Soul with that bar on the seafront in Blackpool, the day before the Fleetwood match last season.
We'd been promoted, hundreds of Town fans in that place throughout the day partying before we all took over whatever that nightclub was called, much to the bemusement of the regulars, more than half the age of the average person there that night.
Absolutely top day out that. The following day the players, who'd had their own partying throughout the week, played like most of us fans felt.
With the early kick off as well that might well win awards for the most hungover fan base ever to attend a Town match.

May well have done if it wasn’t on the wife’s birthday weekend.
Keep me posted if another one pops up.

I live near Cambridge, so not for me. I wish you well with the night though. Sounds awesome. Regarding Alan Hawkshaw, I love the stuff he did for BPM. This is probably my favorite track of his. I find it breathtaking! On the very rare occasion I ever get to DJ, I try to play this. You have to get the next track lined up very quickly though! As an aside, I heard this track played live by an Acid Jazz combo called Pleasure Beach. A cracking cover. They were supporting JTQ at Cambridge Junction in the dim and distant past.

I remember Pleasure Beach. Best known for their ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ cover.

Soul Suite. That was a great night.
We went Warwickshire for a long weekend in January and decided to break the journey with an overnight stay in Blackpool purely to have an afternoon and night in that bar. Blackpool was deserted but Soul Suite was heaving.
Some great characters in there, all immaculately dressed.

Yep. That's them.
I have the original of that on 7". It's actually the b side to a track called rollercoaster. I think it's worth £30+ now. Always a popular track if I get to play it.

Tickets slow at the moment, but hoping we get enough to make it a decent night.. then more possibility to do another. If it falls flat then we won’t, which would be a shame. So would appreciate any sharing anyone could do. Cheers.

This may be helpful to you. I think it’s free to sign up and you can advertise your event in their page.
I listen to www.bayradio.fm quite regularly. It's a station for ex-pat Brits in Spain. On Saturday and Sunday mornings, there's a scouse DJ called Mark Deakin who loves his Northern Soul. He plays a lot of other stuff too, but always pushes Northern Soul.

The East Anglian northern soul page on FB is worth a post.
