The BBC recently launched Rewind as a place to search their archives for old interviews or news clips. This is the home page

I didn't have much luck searching but found this

A clip of an interview with Sandy Holt and , if I'm not mistaken, a rare sight of Brian Rae dancing.

There should be more stuff but I'm not the greatest at searching sites, maybe others might be able to find something else.

 

 

 

The tube has tons of these clips.

nope, this is an archive of BBC news clips as per the below

The BBC has opened up tens of thousands of audio-visual recordings as it celebrates its 100th anniversary.

BBC Rewind provides public access to a “vast portion” of the corporation’s archive.

It represents the largest release of digital archive content in BBC history, categorised by the nations and regions of the UK and containing many emotional and powerful stories, many of which have not been viewed since their original broadcast.

thanks for sharing

had a dig with various 'obvious' soul related terms, but not that much shows, but a lot of interesting non-soul local archive video does

try searching for your own town to see the non-soul local content

or can use the map feature

Great to see a time when the faithful had vastly reduced in number and northern had returned to the shadows in contrast to today’s mass appeal to anyone over 50 seeking the refuge of a northern soul night
