I am a feature writer at the Manchester Evening News. hoping to do an article about the Official Northern Soul World Dancing Championship at the weekend. | was hoping to contact someone in our circulation area (Greater Manchester and north Cheshire, really) who is a keen dancer, will be competing in Blackpool and can tell me all about  the dedication of the northern soul fraternity, how the scene works today etc. Someone who also has memories of Wigan Casino would be ideal.

 My email is paul.taylor@men-news.co.uk

Does it count if you can go like the clappers for 30 seconds to Ton of Dynamite? Then blend into the shufflers skirting round the edges?

You will be needing those Duffy boys I think, coz they have the stamina you see, just like Pans People used to.
