Newton Aycliffe Youth Club Reunion October 2014

The Newton Aycliffe teenagers from the early 1970t’s when starting the all – niters off at the youth centre on central avenue had no idea the legacy they would leave for northern soul fans that still runs through the town and the surrounding area to this day. There are monthly rare soul nights at the Big Club, Hydro and the RAFA club still ongoing and Ex Wigan Casino DJ Kev Roberts named Aycliffe the eighth most important town for northern soul in his northern soul top ten book. High Praise indeed for a small Co Durham town. To raise money for charity a soul night was organised bringing a lot of those 1970’s teenagers together again along with the original Dj’s Here are a section of some photos taken on the night.
