Johnnie Walker Richard Searling, an expert on Northern Soul and its origins Let's head back to one of the coolest decades of music, with Johnnie at the helm.
His guest this week is Richard Searling, an expert on Northern Soul and its origins.
Exactly 50 years ago this month, Manchester’s legendary venue The Twisted Wheel closed its doors. Many thought it could signal the end of an underground movement where obscure soul singles from the 60s were being danced-to, bought, sold, and cherished by devotees of that genre. In fact, it was only really getting started. Richard’s played a big part in the continued promotion and profile of Northern Soul since his days as a DJ and fan in some of the most famous venues. Whether you consider yourself an expert, or if you’re new to the scene, Richard will guide you through some of the finest records of the 70s, and explain why the music is bigger than ever in 2021.
