One of the issues,is that when the media get involved,they invariably start re-writing history.
For example:-
In last Saturday`s Guardian there was a review of Liverpool/Brighton/Birmingham and Stoke.
In the "culture" section the writer told us that "Northern Soul" originated from Stoke(Torch).
We all know that`s not the case-but what about those that don`t have our knowledge?
Definitely a double-edged sword,for me.
