Soul Self Satisfaction: The Story Of Northern Soul

The strange world of Northern Soul music first landed on British shores in the early 1960's.

Writer and Cultural Historian CP Lee investigates.

This movement instantly created an underground cultural phenomenon for teenagers who previously had nowhere to go.

The Northern Soul scene was driven by a love of Black American Artists who had failed to make a success in the USA.

Followers of the Northern Soul fraternity include the designer Wayne Hemingway, music Producer Ian Levine, DJ Jo Wallace, and lifelong soul boy Stuart Cosgrove.

All of them describe their passion and experiences of Northern Soul music
