I think you'll find there was a Horsforth feast, or The Feast as it was known in LS18, at the back of the Brown Cow on Town Street. Us north Leedsers wouldn't have sullied ourselves in the mire of Armley or Holbeck, our only experience of those ruffians being their gangs coming to our youth club and causing bother. we'ren't aware of those other Here's to Marshall > Waddington's waltzers and the smell of candyfloss, fried > onions and anything by The Tams.

I think also Mr Bettie there are one or two soulies up north who know a thing about northern soul - but I totally agree that Morley and particularly Maconie know shite all and your suggestion of physical damage totally appropriate, especially in Stuart 'I'm a soulie'/'I'm a punk'/'I'm a hillbilly'/'I'm a new romantic'/'I'm a jazz-funker'/'I'm a wanker' Maconie's case.
