21st century modernist & sixties underground music culture
Soul Weekenders
Amidst the dreariness of north England, white working class youth reinvented their lives at Northern Soul all-nighters, dancing to forgotten black American soul singles from the 1960s. Down South, as Mods metamorphosed into skinheads, this cult focused more on Caribbean sounds - ska, rocksteady and reggae. They jerked to these itchy Jamaican rhythms in youth clubs from Catford to Croydon, Dagenham to Deptford.

So true, clothes were loose and baggy for ease of movement I presume? Levine went on to boyband svengalisms and I think there are plenty of other Northern Soul experts that have probably more valid and interesting points of view?

Classy dancing, top tunes, shame about the clothes. I've never liked Levine though!
