Northern Soul

And so it begins. After the amazing response from last month's special, 90s Northern House, it made only perfect sense that our next target would be pièce de résistance of the North's musical subcultures.

Northern Soul sparked an exciting, energised movement. Making its way into working class theatres and clubs, such as the Wigan Casino and Twisted Wheel - the packed all-nighters were northern hedonism. Black thumping American soul and r 'n' b music blew open the doors to a world of eclectic dance; evocative fashion; passionate DJs, and a plethora of likeminded people.

The Lock In want to peak into the rabbit-hole and see what we can see. First up, we've got a couple of brilliant local DJs, Alex Morrison & Tony Perry, to get the ball rolling.

Keep your eyes peeled for more in the weeks to come. Subscribe for updated by clicking attending on this event, or by subscribing to The Lock In here.
