Stuart Maconie on the Northern Soul Prom

Stuart Maconie, curator of the Northern Soul Prom, is Johnnie's My 70s guest.

Stuart Maconie is a DJ and music journalist who's an avid northern soul fan. He was asked to curate a Northern Soul Prom which saw northern soul classics played by the 麻豆社 Concert Orchestra. The show will be aired on the 麻豆社 later in the month.

The show is a stomping celebration of British club culture and brings a symphonic edge to the beats that took English towns across the industrial North and Midlands by storm in the early 1970s. What began as a celebration of forgotten American soul B-sides became a euphoric release at all-night dances for factory workers. Some of the classic tracks being performed include You鈥檙e Gonna Make Me Love You, Open the Door to Your Heart, It Really Hurts Me Girl, Hold Back the Night, Time Will Pass You By and Just Like the Weather.

Stuart is Johnnie's My 70s guest and will be sharing what he loves about Northern Soul, why a prom is the best way to celebrate it, and which songs got everybody up on their feet and dancing.

Elsewhere on the show, another listener will nominate a track for Johnnie's Jukebox, a Better Than (the) Original track, plus there will be stories from This Week in Music, with the help of the 麻豆社 Archives.
