Northern Soul DJ 1965-68

A regular at The Mojo Club, Sheffield dancing to Peter Strigfellow’s inspiring DJ shows. Dinky formed a team of DJ’s with Arthur Clover and David Growns to open two nightclubs in Rotherham. First renting a church hall for the Pendulum Club, which grew to fast, so we decided to lease a function hall, which they fixed up to become the LBJ club.

After many trips to London to dance on Ready Steady Go TV show and many all-nighters at the Mojo, Sheffield, The Dungeon Nottingham, Twisted Wheel, Manchester and solo appearances at the Broken Wheel, Redford. It was time to make the music business Dinky’s life work. Check out Dinky Who for the rest of the story.

With 40 years passing and fun books about the history of this wonderful time, the kids of this generation are now playing the same music we grew up with. Along with the music so comes the same fashions. So today look for pajamas as school clothes along with black leotards for young ladies and Mohair Suites, parkers, short Mod hair and Frank Zappa face for young men. After 40 years Dinky is thinking of selling his extensive record collection of Northern Soul, played at every club he performed at. Anyone interested please send e-mail for more information.
