SJM Concerts Presents
Northern Soul Orchestrated
Curated by 6 Music’s Stuart Maconie. Performed by the BBC Concert Orchestra. Conducted by Joe Duddell.
Dynamic. High-energy. Orchestra-powered dance party.
Northern Soul Orchestrated promises to transport audiences back in time capturing the spirit of a movement. Originating in the industrial regions in the 1960s and 70s across the North and the Midlands, the Northern Soul subculture emerged as a passionate and vibrant all-night dance movement centred around American soul music.
This concert is borne out of The Northern Soul Prom, which premiered at the BBC Proms last year, and had over a million plays on iPlayer and Sounds. Following the phenomenal success at the Royal Albert Hall, writer and BBC Radio 6 Music broadcaster Stuart Maconie, alongside the BBC Concert Orchestra and Manchester’s composer and conductor Joe Duddell, are taking Northern Soul Orchestrated on tour.
Curated by Stuart and conducted by Joe, the orchestra will perform amazing new arrangements, by Fiona Brice, of Northern Soul classic anthems with a host of very special guest vocalists.

“Northern Soul is music at its most exciting and alive. This is the sound of the streets and the dancefloors, rich with passion, ecstasy, heartbreak and joy. We cannot wait to bring these fabulous songs and performances to the heart of the cities where they are cherished”
Stuart Maconie, BBC 6 Music
