Cinema Screening: Northern Soul (15)

‘Northern Soul’ is the story of the 1970s youth culture that developed in Northern England and changed a generation. It’s an authentic and uplifting account of two young boys whose horizons are opened up by the discovery of black American soul music.

Set in Lancashire in 1974, the film follows Matt and John as they leave behind a humdrum life of youth clubs and factory lines to chase a dream of travelling to the US, unearthing unknown soul 45s and establishing themselves as top DJ’s on the Northern soul music scene. Their dance and drug-fuelled quest brings them into contact with some of the darker elements of the scene and tests their friendship to its limits. With a killer soundtrack that will guarantee you get your kicks out on the floor!
