Both partners in the venture, Johnny and Jane Cambridge, are veterans of the scooter scene both here and in France. Johnny, an 80s scooterboy, rode with Drunk and Disorderly SC and was also number one in Ratshaggers SC. Jane was an active rally-going member of Innocents SC. In more recent times they have also been involved in a scooter rally in Southern France, at the invitation of French scooterist, Manu, who runs a local scooter club there. They also share a passion for Soul and Northern Soul music, especially Bobby Womack. Johnny has had a reputation for many decades as a top Northern Soul dancer, as well as being an occasional DJ for more years than he cares to remember. A mutual appreciation of Bobby Womack saw Johnny and Jane collaborating on the show-winning custom Series 1 Lambretta, ‘So Many Sides Of You', a feature scooter (2018) in this very magazine. After deciding to embark on a new venture, combining their twin passions of scooters and Soul music, the name for their enterprise was settled on. Scoots and Soul was born.
