Soul at the Sailing Club

The very best of Northern, Motown and Soul Classics for a souful Sunday afternoon. Spend the morning on the beach and the afternoon on the dance floor enjoying the music vides from our resident / Lake District Radio DJ David Brown.

Northern soul is a music and dance movement that emerged in Northern England in the early 1970s. It developed from the British mod scene, based on Americian Soul and Motown music with a heavy beat and fast tempo. Leading venues included the Twisted Wheel in Manchester and Wigan Casino, where dancing continued to 8 am in the morning. (We will be finishing slightly earlier).

Expect to hear music from the likes of Diana Ross and the Supremes, the Jackson Five, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Jackie Wilson, The Contours and Benny Troy.
