Northern Soul: Orchestrated

Writer and BBC Radio 6 Music broadcaster Stuart Maconie, alongside the BBC Concert Orchestra and Manchester’s composer and conductor Joe Duddell will perform northern soul classic anthems, with a host of very special guest vocalists, transporting audiences back in time to capture the spirit of a movement. 

Originating in the industrial regions in the 60s and 70s across the North and the Midlands, the northern soul subculture emerged as a passionate and vibrant all-night dance movement centred around American soul music.
