Northern Soul Orchestrated

Following the huge success of the Northern Soul Orchestrated tour last year, writer and BBC Radio 6 Music broadcaster Stuart Maconie, alongside the BBC Concert Orchestra and Manchester’s composer and conductor Joe Duddell will return with new dates in March 2026.

The Northern Soul Orchestrated tour promises to transport audiences back in time capturing the spirit of a movement. A celebration of raw, rare American soul music that first obsessed young people across the north and the Midlands in the 1960s and 70s, inspiring an all-night dance culture. Curated by Stuart and conducted by Joe, the orchestra will perform amazing new arrangements, by Fiona Brice, of some of the most famous Northern Soul anthems along with performances from a host of very special guest vocalists.
