Taking a break, from his BBC 6 Music Funk and Soul show, Northern Soul
fanatic, Craig Charles presents, this year's All Singing, All Dancing , All
New
Year's Eve!

Craig welcomes the New Year, with another selection of Northern Soul
classics,
new CD releases, special guests, and a listener-requests extravaganza!

Northern Soul has been, one of the most extraordinary and potent underground
movements, in the history of of popular music. Starting around 1967 few
musical
genres have produced fans, as dedicated and obsessive, as those who made,
the
weekly pilgrimage, from every corner of the British Isles to Northern Soul
clubs,
such as the Twisted Wheel, in Manchester, the Torch in Stoke, the Mecca in
Blackpool, and most famous of all, the Wigan Casino.

Northern Soul devotees have an insatiable appetite for obscure tracks, which
bred,
the spectacular athletic dance styles, at the all-night sessions. The
collectors, are even
more obsessive, than the dancers, paying huge sums for previously unheard
rarities,
the top figure, being £15,000 for Frank Wilson's Do I Love You (Indeed I
Do).
