Re: Any Northern Soul fans out there?
Really not sure how I feel about watching it played live. I remember Snake Davis and the Suspicions from the ‘80s and was always a little bit ‘meh’. Also saw a few of the Motown acts play live and was always left a little underwhelmed. I’m a bit of a traditionalist and like my original vinyl. (Nb. ...

Excellently written and whilst I’ve known a fair bit from other writing (Pauline Black, Neville Staple, Horace Panter), this fills in a lot of detail from many of the other bands who were also part o...
