Travel back in time to experience the elation of Northern Soul with the BBC Concert Orchestra, composer and conductor Joe Duddell, and BBC 6 Music’s Stuart Maconie.

Originating across the North and the Midlands in the 1960s and 1970s, the Northern soul subculture emerged as a passionate and vibrant all-night dance movement centred around American soul music. 

Growing from an underground scene to an enduring movement, the legacy of Northern soul resonates in contemporary music today; in this concert, the BBC Concert Orchestra revives the vibrant, euphoric music in a whole new style.
