Shine Like Tokyo - Northern Soul Goes East

Broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on Saturday 21 September at 10.30am, this half hour programme featured Anne Nightingale's trip to Japan to investigate the growing cult appreciation there of Northern Soul in city night clubs.

I found this programme very interesting, but it would have benefitted if it had lasted an hour with longer clips of the music.

It is still available on BBC iplayer for another few days.
