"Those who have adopted the baggy pants / vest look as being reminiscent of the era are making use of little more than a short lived snapshot in time."
true ... but it was my, and many others point in time ... lasted around 5 to 6 years as a main "look" drifting away over a 10 year span.... who would have thought then that "northern soul" would be around 40 years later anyway .. so "fashion " was bound to change ... however it is the only true "visual" and identifyable identity northern soul has had... like it or not ? we had our clothes tailor made and "spencers" were the off the peg versions ... and were frowned on at first....
As far as current venues go, long live those that are still pushing the boundaries as they are the ones that remain true to the spirit of what once was.
as for pushing the boundaries some of them have pushed so hard they have fallen off the edge lol but hey, thats another story and discussion i guess ?
