Fannying around-

[Geeselad]

One element of northern soul culture that I can't recall being documented is the use of fans by ladies at venues to cool themselves after dancing. No cheap shots here, we are gentlemen in the main, let's behave like such. 

Any road, I know it's not exclusive to soul events but its gone on since I started, and today and they are still in use. Did the girls at Wigan use them? When did this activity start?
