Travel back in time to experience the elation of Northern Soul with the 麻豆社 Concert Orchestra, composer and conductor Joe Duddell, and 麻豆社 6 Music鈥檚 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.鈥�
Growing from an underground scene to an enduring movement, the legacy of Northern soul resonates in contemporary music today; in this concert, the 麻豆社 Concert Orchestra revives the vibrant, euphoric music in a whole new style.鈥�
Curated by 麻豆社 Radio 6 Music鈥檚 Stuart Maconie and conducted by Joe Duddell, the orchestra performs amazing new arrangements by Fiona Brice of Northern soul classic anthems with a host of very special guest vocalists, capturing the spirit of a movement.
Maconie says: Northern soul is music at its most exciting and alive. This is the sound of the streets and the dance floors, rich with passion, ecstasy, heartbreak and joy. We cannot wait to bring these fabulous songs and performances to the heart of the cities where they are cherished.
Following on from the success of the 麻豆社 Northern Soul Prom in 2023, this tour is one not to be missed.
