Description
The Story of Northern Soul: A Definitive History of a Dance Phenomenon The Northern Soul scene has defied expectations, evolving from an underground 1960s Mod movement in unlicensed clubs in the North West of England into a global dance phenomenon. Despite criticism, the scene has persisted, with its followers united by a passion for Black American music that sets it apart from other dance styles. This book provides the first in-depth look at the culture, music, artists, and people who frequent the all-night venues that are synonymous with the British Soul Scene. With a wealth of memorabilia and anecdotes, The Story of Northern Soul explores the history of the Twisted Wheel in Manchester and the mighty Wigan Casino, among other iconic venues. A comprehensive and engaging account of a dance scene that continues to thrive, The Story of Northern Soul is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the history and culture of Northern Soul.
