Description
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 BBC Concert Orchestra. The show will be aired on the BBC 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’re 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.
