The northern soul phenomenon was the most exciting underground British club
movement of the 1970s. At its highpoint, thousands of disenchanted white
working class youths across the north of England danced to obscure, mid-60s
Motown-inspired sounds until the sun rose. A dynamic culture of fashions, dance
moves, vinyl obsession and much more grew up around this - all fuelled by the
love of rare black American soul music with an express-train beat.
Through vivid first-hand accounts and rare archive footage, this film charts
northern soul's dramatic rise, fall and re-birth. It reveals the scene's roots
in the mod culture of the 1960s and how key clubs like Manchester's Twisted
Wheel and Sheffield's Mojo helped create the prototype that would blossom in
the next decade.
By the early 1970s a new generation of youngsters in the north were
transforming the old ballrooms and dancehalls of their parents' generation into
citadels of the northern soul experience, creating a genuine alternative to
mainstream British pop culture. This was decades before the internet, when
people had to travel great distances to enjoy the music they felt so passionate
about.
Set against a rich cultural and social backdrop, the film shows how the
euphoria and release that northern soul gave these clubbers provided an escape
from the bleak reality of their daily lives during the turbulent 1970s. After
thriving in almost total isolation from the rest of the UK, northern soul was
commercialized and broke nationwide in the second half of the 70s. But just as
this happened, the once-healthy rivalry between the clubs in the north fell
apart amidst bitter in-fighting over the direction the scene should go.
Today, northern soul is more popular than ever, but it was back in the 1970s
that one of the most fascinating and unique British club cultures rose to
glory. Contributors include key northern soul DJs like Richard Searling, Ian
Levine, Colin Curtis, Kev Roberts, alongside Lisa Stansfield, Norman Jay, Pete
Waterman, Marc Almond, Peter Stringfellow and others.
