Couples dancing together
Used to love watching Les Parren and Carole Drinkwater from St Neots/Brampton cutting a rug at St Ives ... Methinks it's about time the "Soul Gestapo" got together and published the definitive set of "Northern Soul Do's and Don'ts" so that the rest of us know exactly what's acceptable ...

BBC Radio Four Woman's Hour: Northern Soul feature
A major part of the 'scene' as I remember when getting into it was it's distance from what was 'mainstream'. That mystique and almost secret society feel , queuing up outside clubs waiting for the pissed up casanovas to bugger off at midnight so we could take over until dawn. Now it's been thrust firmly into the spotlight on every mainstream platform that mystique is forever dead , and sadly those pissed up casanovas seem to make up the majority of 'fans' these days , certainly in the soul night department anyway. I just hope 'our scene' survives until the latest bandwagon jumpers get bored and disappear back to whence they came , sooner than later. That way I might get my mojo back and start venturing out again , but for the present there's little appeal unfortunately.
