Like you've said Steve re the "moddun" stuff.... or as was then known, before the term "moddun" was ever used, "newies".... an oldies and newies niter/soul nite meant summat totally different back then .... they were what peeps called "progessive" at the time....
I seem to remember the "die hard" gang known as the "Preston Street Dancers", who used to move of the dance floor at Clifton Hall (Rotherham) quicker than a "chicken pal" left your arse after a curry, stay and "do their stuff" to such sounds in the day ....
My thoughts are that these so-called "moddun choons" fit "nowhere" today.... too "new" to be "northern" and too "old" to be "moddun".... hardly ever hear them these days....
But I think we've had this discussion numerous times before somewhere Steve ....
It's all the "politics" that still go on within "our scene".... I prefer to refer to ALL this stuff as "BOLLOTICS".... but then again, this stuff keeps "the scene" ALIVE, a la these.... :Fck_off_by_nulltarget: ....
