During the punk years I kept my love of Northern Soul to myself.
The soul scene was always underground and apart from a few like minded people that I knew, I didn't go advertising the fact to others.
At the local after school discos in the youth clubs, I would stand around and watch the few soulie's there get jostled and verbally abused by the punks.
Being into Northern Soul in Manchester at that time, was enough to get you your head kicked in.
Not always a good idea being an individual.
