A vid of the BBC TV show ...
Got my ticket for the London show -- it's being staged @ the Royal Festival Hall on the bank of the Thames. This is usually the venue for very highbrow concerts, so the NSoulers will definitely bring a different vibe to the place.
Oh dear. This is the antithesis of Northern Soul. It's Everything it wasn't about.
I completely agree. It's yet another BBC distortion, as if their other "Soul Of America In London" offerings weren't bad enough. This is not "our" music. It's just some obnoxious middle of the road interpretation of it, aimed at mainsteam concert goers, TV and radio audiences, whatever.
Totally Agree!
Hi Paul, I was lucky enough to see the Funk Brothers, in 2005 albeit at the Manchester Apollo, and they were awesome, even though sadly depleted in numbers, whereby for example, the opening bars to "it's a shame" sounded like I was present at 2648 West Grand Boulevard.....Whilst the BBC orchestras' efforts are commendable, they are not in the same league......respectfully!
. . .. If you weren't there then .....this ain't nowhere near ........
I was there from 1966 onwards [[Mojo, Nite Owl, Wheel, etc, etc) ....
... so you're trying to preach to the wrong guy.
