seems quite complex when you analise the whole thing we call our scene, pre 73 you had soul . 73 onwards northern soul ,77 birth of the oldie, 78 to 84 atb scene incorporating the closure of wigan and the demise of ns as it was understood, 84 to 90 the birth of new genres to confuse all ! ( sixties newies )to name but one , then the modern scene , popcorn, r,n,b , latin and funky northern and ive probably missed other catagories . so with all this variety its inevitable to lead to a divided following ..doesnt stop me lovin it though!! best regards diddy
