The ‘Life Flows Better With Visa’ campaign features the Ian Parton (he of The Go! Team) remix of another rediscovered Northern Soul classic, ‘Come On Train’. You know the one, it features Bill ‘CrutchMaster’ Shannon as he “dances” through town purchasing his way through the recession as if there’s no tomorrow.

Positive and uplifting for Visa and showing their equal opportunities credentials at the same time but it’s the resurfacing of Thomas’ ‘Come On Train’ that we need to celebrate having previously appeared on compilations Cooler Shakers! 30 Northern Soul Floorstompers (this one also contains Dwight Trible’s favourite soul singer Linda Jones and her massive, ‘You Hit Me Like TNT’), Rare Soul Uncovered (18 Northern Soul Favourites) and Up All Night! 30 ‘Northern Soul Classics’ to name just a few.

This is proper soul music that makes you want to dance like its 1974 - put the hammer down, Come On Train!

“The advert features Bill ‘CrutchMaster’ Shannon, a dancer and performer who seems to glide across a city on crutches. Not using any wheelie shoes, special stunts or effects, Shannon’s self-taught movements and fluid choreography are truly unique. Born with a bilateral hip deformity that affects 1 in 1200 children”
