It is difficult for one such as I, not overly active on the current Nighter scene these days, to have a take on todays scene as is.
I'd have thought what with this Interent malarky and all the opinions that I am allowed to view because of it that I should find it easy to see the overall view, but I have found that my understanding just gets muddied somewhat by this.
Anyway.
Are there people, and nighters, out there that accept a wide span of music, era's and styles in the way that Wigan, it's dj's and its punters did.
Or, has the internet become a bit of a wart on the finger of Northern by giving a forum to secular groups that, quite rightly - freedom of speech an' all that - feel the need to shout from the mountain tops that if 'this' and 'that' don't get played, then it's just not Northern.

Soul terrorism, a truth?
