2016 Northern Soul All Dayer - The
Re-Union
Saturday 11 June 12noon –
12midnight @ Lincoln Drill Hall
Northern Soul is a phrase coined by writer Dave Godin in 1970, when he
noticed football fans from northern England asking for old-fashioned,
fast-tempo soul records in his London shop.
Many would have
attended the Twisted Wheel in Manchester - a super-cool club for Mods.
But as American
black music began to develop in the direction of funk, the clientele clung to
the more gritty sounds of the late 1960s.
When the Wheel
closed, a series of clubs in the north of England and Midlands had
all-nighters. Then Wigan Casino opened and the scene went massive all over the
country particularly in Lincolnshire.
Between 1979 and 1981 many
Lincolnshire venues, inclusing Lincoln Drill Hall, hosted Northern Soul
All-Nighters and was one of the go to destinations those prepared to travel
around the UK just to dance.
Now, for the first time in 34 years the original line-up
of Drill Hall DJs are back again, playing the original sounds in this legendary
venue.
Northern, rare, classics, funk,
R’n’B, soul, crossover and modern.
Two rooms, 40 DJs, special
guests, record bars.
Tickets: £15 advance (£18 on the
door) from
01522 873894
