The roof of the Royal Albert Hall nearly comes off in this special Prom dedicated to northern soul, curated by Wigan鈥檚 Stuart Maconie and Manchester鈥檚 Joe Duddell.

A celebration of raw, rare American soul music that first obsessed young people across the north and the Midlands in the 1960s and 70s, inspiring an all-night dance culture.

Epic new arrangements of northern soul anthems are performed by the 麻豆社 Concert Orchestra, conducted by a dancing Edwin Outwater, and featuring the vocals of six incredible singers led by Vula Malinga of Basement Jaxx fame.

A night of freedom, passion and euphoria presented by Andi Oliver, with special guests Clarke Peters and PP Arnold.
