- SOULBOYSSOULGIRLS......THE ROOTS OF BRITISH CLUB CULTURE AND WHERE IT ALL BEGAN........From clubs like CRACKERS, LACY LADY to LE BEAT ROUTE and WAG....1974 - 1985
British Youth and Fashion Culture came into it's own with the emergence of Mods in the sixties. Skinheads and Suedeheads followed adopting SKA as their soundtrack which opened white kids to black dance music and culture. For many, being SOUL BOYS, GIRLS was the natural progression for the young black and white British working class, creating clubs with a real unity. The movement captured the growing and mutual love of early 70's imported American Soul music. Unlike Northern Soul, precious little has been written or documented on this important time in our history. SOUL BOYS SOUL GIRLS aims to change that.

SOUL SAVES THE DAY
So happy I was part of this scene when I was young ... I don't remember any fights or politics. Everyone just loved to dance, listen to the music and follow the fashions. What a brilliant education for my teen years and friendships which have stood the test of time. We were and still are blessed!
1964-84......best years to be a youth in England
Who remembers Cali ballroom,devils den.didoz.been to them all BUT THIS PLACE WAS THE BEST.nick
Wow so many fond memories as a teen venturing to all the latest clubs, how lucky were we. I lived in canning town back then, bought my first car a mk2 Ford capri, that was it then we drove everywhere.North south east and west the best days had, with the best Djs and best music. I'd go back in heartbeat tbh :-)
Absolutely no racism in this scene. We seem to have gone backwards since :( Bring back the Soul Patrols!
The California Ballroom , Dunstable - ' The Cali ' - what a venue !!
I was there ! What a great period in time I will never forget, the music, clothes, DJs and dancing till you dropped at all dayers, weekenders and Slickers in Peterborough 😀😀😀
Bumbles' Wood green, Charlie Browns, Tottenham. Room at the top, Ilford. - Global village, Under the arches, Charring Cross. Royalty, Southgate. .....great times! ...bring the family back!!!
"Far Out" - Crown Heights Affair (1978) .
I miss my wedge haircut!! What great times.
Went to many of the mentioned clubs great days great memories thanks for posting “Keep The Faith” 🙏
Friday nights Goldmine, Sat night the Lacey......... great days
How come no one mentioned the BALI HAI in Streatham S.London? Back then, one had to be a dancer and not a wallflower..We did a complete different version of the hustle..then there was the DEAD MAN DROP in 1975, performed by two guys during the dance competition-the floor emptied. BAD LUCK by HAROLD MELVIN and THE BLUE NOTES was the song that lit the fire.
Jfm invicta horizon solar radio groove records soho, city sounds Holborn, blues & soul mag, black echoes paper, caister, FROGGY CJ Carlos, Greg Edwards Robbie Vincent, royalty, margate, outlet etc what a time to grow up In London Town
Reconise a lot of faces how cool to be transported to those happy times thanks :)
Yep, now I feel old. Good days. We lived in Stevenage but spent most of our Fri/Sat nights at Lacy Lady or Skindles, or some other London clubs I can't recall. Even the Outlook in Hitchin or Soul nights at the Mecca in Stevenage when we couldn't go too far. All our hols were down in Margate. Then I went to Portsmouth and we hung out at Joannas, Great club, a bit seedy, good music and a sticky floor!
Good grief, Tommy Mack and Margate beach, the Atlantis and Bali Hai. Happy days!
Proud to be an original soul boy still at 51!
