When you see kids dancing in a club in late 60s, I wonder what they were REALLY dancing to? especially in the earlier days of skinhead/hard mod pre-69, wouldnt the music have been mostly soul/motown?
I'll give you two years, two places, two themes: 67/8, Blackpool Mecca, almost exclusively Motown and Stax. 68/9, Catford Savoy Rooms, commercial Motown and Reggae. Both of these are generalisations, but give you an idea. Up North kids followed the mod traditions more. In London there was always a greater influence from the British West Indian population.
