Northern Soul Style: a Trip Down Memory Lane- The Guardian

Quotes from the article:

- "I was back in sticky, crepuscular dancehalls crammed with Trevira suits, side-patterned tights, button-down Brutus shirts and channel-seamed, two-tone "tonic" trousers. And it was heaven."

- "I've often heard the 70s described as "the decade that taste forgot" but it was the decade that formed my style predilections for the rest of my life."

- "My eyelids were slicked olive green from my Biba Paintbox, my lips a vampish deep burgundy and I smoked my cigarettes through a long cigarette holder."
- "Reminds us that we weren't always grownups and we didn't always have to be responsible, that we were capable of dancing all night and never seemed to get blisters, bruises or stiff knees."
