Northern Soul Orchestrated promises to transport audiences back in time capturing the spirit of a movement. Originating in the industrial regions in the 1960s 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.
This concert is borne out of The Northern Soul Prom, which premiered at the BBC Proms last year, and had over a million plays on iPlayer and Sounds. Following the phenomenal success at the Royal Albert Hall, writer and BBC Radio 6 Music broadcaster Stuart Maconie, alongside the BBC Concert Orchestra and Manchester’s composer and conductor Joe Duddell, are taking Northern Soul Orchestated on tour.
