Yeah man, I've always been pretty fascinated by that old Wigan Northen Soul scene. Looked like a wicked scene when it was happening. If I'd been 10 years older I reckon I would have been donning a pair of baggy trousers, braces and a vest and getting down myself:) Those guys were nutty dancers and it was cool to see all them die hard old soul boys still doing thier moves today! Every now and then I try and check out Keb Darge's Legendary Deep funk night down at Jo Jo's and Cant resist throwing the old twirl into my moves :) What I find interesting about it is the comparison the scene had with the whole early rave days that I was a part of. To hear some of the guys explain how it started out all about the music, but as the drugs became a bigger and bigger part of it and it grew from a relativly underground scene to something that everyone wanted to get into, the music slowly started to deterioate as the DJs started playing for the masses rather than the hardcore fans. Guess its always the same with any underground scene where drugs play a large part of it, your never gonna get more than a couple of years out of it before it blows up and loses its original vibe.
