Paradoxes

[Soulsmith]

1. In Wigan days it was 90% The Beat 10% The Soul

These days, its still the same Northern Soul scene, but now its

90% The Soul, 10% The Beat.

2. Northern Soul & golf. Bet you've never seen the two in the same sentence before. Personally I'm

not sure that they should ever be so placed. I've never seen golf mentioned on here before & I think it may be

the antithesis of northern soul. I should admit to a personal interest here......I dislike golf, golfers & golf clubs.

Maybe golf is too much for my socialist, working class roots to bear, whereas Northern soul eases the pain.

3. Attended 100 Club anniv. recently and watched Keb Darge (who I don't know) doing some amazing acrobatic dancing. The man is as fit as a fiddle.Hanging around him for periods of time were fully paid up members of the Northern Soul soul police. People who I know abhor anybody wearing a vest. Something to do with too much flesh being shown & 70s northern fashion trends. Keb had dispensed with all his clothes up top, but the same people who can't stand

people wearing a vest were fawning all over him. Is that a paradox or just plain old double standards?

Feel free to either add, agree or argue.
