'Touring this autumn…
This hilarious new dance fuelled comedy follows burger bar employees, Natalie and Kyle, as they fall in love with Northern Soul. Trouble is Natalie and Kyle are not that soulful!
But long after a weekender in Skegness our star-crossed lovers can’t wait for the next all nighter in Blackpool. Ou
As Northern Soul was an underground scene in the UK, it has remained so in Australia. Moving over here from the UK as most of us did, it could take a while to settle in and many weren't aware there was a scene here. Particularly before the internet became part of our daily routine.

The Australian National is an annual event and is held in a different city every year. Last year it was he

What began as an experiment, nine and a half years ago, to see if there was a market for rarer and underplayed soul music, led to many, many brilliant nights with a regular, dedicated audience of knowledgeable soul fans.
Those same soul fans have also helped raise many hundreds of pounds for various charities over the years. You have all been so generous.
But all these things have a sh

Join Stuart for this unique event that will delve into his research, look at the struggles Black American soul artists faced, the hardships, the heartbreaks, and hear him put into context the influence the artists and their music had on Wigan Casino, th

Over the years on soul source when reading the posts you sometimes notice certain long gone events being spoke of in respected tones, perhaps they may not be the most mentioned or indeed the most name checked, but does seem a few which when they do get a mention there does seem to be a sort of revered almost hushed tone when discussing the event.

I have left this posting until now as I thought there may have been a slim chance of having a slight reprieve, but I lost the fight and I am afraid COVID won.
This month of December would have seen our now famous Charity Night Special and Soul For Santa.
It is with a heavy heart that I must announce that Broughton Wings Soul Club will no longer be able to go ahead at the Sports and Social Club. Many of us knew that the club would have to close at the end

With the 40th anniversary looming, I’ve considered the future of the 6TS all-nighters at the 100 Club. They have run very well (with the usual hiccups) over the last 12 months and I appreciate the two nighters off a year that Matt has run so successfully recently. With advancing years, I do find the whole nighter tiring though, particularly the start, so Matt and I have come up with a solution. I’ll continue to run the anniversary nighters and Xmas parties alone, but after this year’s anniversar
This event started up in 1995 so it is one of the longest running, same venue Soul nites in the North. I started djing there in 1996 and I haven't missed one month of playing Motown , Soul and Northern Soul to really fantastic appreciative crowds over all of those years. Unfortunately Link4life who manage the Heywood Civic Centre on behalf of Rochdale Council have hiked the room hire price up way beyond an affordable amount. I have therefore had to give them notice that we cannot keep the event
