Should Taylor Swift's #1 fans (hey, Thea Spalding) get early access to concert tickets? Why not try it to a bit of Northern Soul?įinlay features in most of the clips here but see if you can spot me and maybe much to your surprise a brief glimpse of our head coach at The Confident Club Curly Uppington in one of the photos. So why not dust of your dancing shoes even if it’s only to dance around the house. Our Head of Performance and Research Leon Taylor has proven the value of movement in order to change your mindset. “The one thing that can solve most of our problems is dancing” The passion for Northern Soul has never left me and James Brown perhaps put it best And to have a son who also loves the power of soul to transform you to a higher level and is a much better dancer than I ever was. I am blessed to have discovered the power of music, dance and community at such a young age. If someone had told the 17 year old me at the first night of Wigan Casino, an iconic Northern Soul venue, that exactly 50 years later I would still be on the dance floor but this time accompanied by my 30 year old son Finlay I wonder what I would have said? Yet this very weekend we will be together in Blackpool to celebrate 50 years since Wigan Casino opened.
