The Soul Archive

As you all know Northern Soul and Soul has been a massive part of our lives, its who we are, it’s our identity. During lockdown we found it incredibly hard living a life without the soul scene and all-nighter scene. Personally I miss making memories, hearing the history behind the soul music, and meeting those eccentrics with the best stories that you’d only ever meet in the dark corners of a nighter. 

So we’ve been putting all that energy into this new project that will preserve the past & present soul scene and soul history through documenting photographs, memorabilia and the amazing stories that come with them. 

We all play a massive part on the soul scene whether you’re a dancer, DJ, promoter or connoisseur you’re a part of the social history which needs to be documented for future years to come. The real scene needs to be documented for future soul fans. 

Already we have received history defining imagery. So, if you too would like to get involved check out the link below. We are in the very early stages but we hope that you can help us grow and together build a community to tell the story of how soul music has shaped your life.

Feel free to submit your images through the website form, but please make sure that the images are yours to share.

If you are not able to submit the photographs through our site, fear not - get in touch with us via email at team@thesoularchive.com and we can organise to come to you.

Jordan, Charlotte and Mike.
