At the Top of the Stairs: The Story of Leeds Central, Northern Soul and Jazz Funk by Steve Taylor

The story of a subterranean club situated in the backstreets of Leeds, that changed the lives of all who went there. Top of The Stairs tracks the origin of the Central Dance Club and its transition, from the early mods, through the Northern Soul era to Jazz Funk, and ultimately back again. It captures the unique and personal stories of the DJs and the dancers alike, along with some of the incidents and events that have persisted in Soul folklore for decades, including stories from Tony Banks, Twink, Ian Dewhirst, Richard Searling, Paul Rowan, Pat Brady, Paul Schofield and many more.
