Northern Soul Orchestrated

Northern Soul BBC Prom hits the road – curated by Stuart Maconie, performed by the BBC Concert Orchestra and conducted by Joe Duddell

Northern Soul comes to Manchester following the phenomenal success of the Northern Soul BBC Prom last summer at the Royal Albert Hall.

Get ready to be transported back in time for a night capturing the spirit of the Northern Soul 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.

Northern Soul Orchestrated is curated by writer and BBC Radio 6 Music broadcaster Stuart Maconie, conducted by Manchester’s own Joe Duddell and performed by the BBC Concert Orchestra. Expect exciting new arrangements, by Fiona Brice and Joe Duddell, of Northern Soul classic anthems – plus a host of very special guest vocalists.
