Much of the music made in the Madchester years at the end of the eighties and early nineties doesn't seem to travel too well. But I came upon this yesterday and thought it maintained a certain zest and energy. The Bridewell Taxis hailed from east of the Pennines, took their name from the police vans that conveyed unfortunates to the Bridewell Station in Leeds. They had a brief but vivid history. Find out more about them on their spirited, but highly partial Wikipedia Page. Seems to be written by a fellow traveler. This, their third single has something of a Northern Soul kick to it.
