Not really,  my gateway into northern was motown.

Doesn't wind me up but I know where you're coming from, always thought they were one and the same.

The classic chicken and the egg  

Someone asks - What’s Northern Soul ?

at the risk of being attacked, nowadays I'd invariably say it's the sign of a venue/promotor that is catering for a locals only audience of predominantly non soulies.

Although, I came into NS/rare via underplayed motown as many would have of course.
