I dismissed this when i heard about it and thought "here we go again, get it wrong once more" but i was so, so wrong. The people performers have done a great job with this show. The roof of the Royal Albert Hall nearly comes off in this special Prom dedicated to Northern Soul, curated by Wigan’s Stuart Maconie and Manchester’s 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 BBC 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....Have,nt we come a long way, i never ever thought the popularity of the scene would hit such proportions!!

Review Good For 7 Days

I am definitely in for this one, for both the music and the involvement of Joe Duddell and Stuart Maconie as both have associations with my favorite band James: Joe recorded a wonderful orchestral album and toured it with them this year, and Stuart wrote their biography years ago. I certainly never expected to see their names on this blog, but such is the wonder of music.
Thanks, AMM!
thanks AMM looking forward to watching this
