Northern Soul's enduring movement turns forgotten, black, American soul artists into UK legends. From its working-class roots to iconic clubs like Wigan Casino, a new generation keeps the music, fashion, dance and soul community alive.
This is an absorbing docu-celebration of the Northern Soul scene that flourished from the late 1960s to the end of the 1970s. It was a fascinating, vernacular youth movement and a kind of regional open secret. Northern Soul continues to re-invent itself more than any other music genre, remaining as vibrant and relevant today as when it first evolved. Features exclusive interviews with Richard Searling, Paul Mason, Elaine Constantine, Kev Roberts, Russ Winstanley, David Nathan, Wayne Hemingway, Dave Evison, Keith Gildart, Levanna McLean, Tony Blackburn and many, many more. This is a passionate portrait of a unique cultural moment and its obsessive high-kicking fans.
