Well put nev, think the youth thing hit the nail on the head there mate, a lot of people in those days were pigeon holed into different social groups ie MODS, SKINHEADS, PUNKS, BIKERS ETC luckily for one reason or another we were a part of the northern soul scene at its hieght of popularity, socially wise it was a great place for meeting people many of who still to this day are some of my best friends, so really it put the roots down for a life long love of the music & the people, if its in your blood its there for good i say
