in 1983, i learned to skate. i had my little ponies and i spent my spare time learning to skip. french skip, even.
i had no idea that soul weekenders even existed. my uncle probably went to them and despite the fact that i trailed him like a lemming for the first eight years of my life, he probably escaped on the odd weekend, and went down to brighton to play with the other soul boys and girls.
i don’t often wish i had been born sooner or later, but i would have loved to go to a real soul weekender back in the day.
