For over six decades, Northern Soul has burned as a musical and cultural phenomenon. Discarded by the mainstream, black soul artists from the US became underground legends across the UK's Northern Soul clubs — kept alive through rare vinyl, all-night dancefloors, and fierce loyalty. Born in the working-class communities of the North and the Midlands in the 60s and 70s, the movement fused American soul with British youth culture into something entirely its own.
This fascinating documentary traces that journey - from backstreet clubs to super clubs like Wigan Casino - exploring how politics, fashion, class and community shaped the scene along the way. And it's far from history: Northern Soul keeps reinventing itself, with a new generation of DJs and dancers carrying the torch and keeping the faith alive on the dancefloor.
Jump in and discover the legacy of one of Britain's most enduring underground movements.
