Northern Soul has made somewhat of a resurgence in recent years, more and more bars and clubs are holding exclusive Northern Soul and Motown Nights.  There have been several films in recent years including ‘Northern Soul’ and this has helped build a whole new audience.

I was brought up in the 1970’s and being a northerner I was brought up with Northern Soul and Motown.  My father has hundreds of singles and LP’s covering everything from Al Wilson right up to The Dells.
I have been lucky enough to supply a few Northern Soul Nights across the north east, and always try to throw in a few at other functions.
I have compiled a list of my own personal favourites.
