Following the huge sell-out success of the Northern Soul Orchestrated UK tour earlier this year, brand new live dates have just been announced for November 2024 due to phenomenal demand.

Writer and BBC Radio 6 Music broadcaster Stuart Maconie, alongside the BBC Concert Orchestra and Manchester’s composer and conductor Joe Duddell will perform four very special shows at Liverpool Philharmonic Hall on Monday 25th, Manchester O2 Apollo on Tuesday 26th, Stockton Globe on Thursday 28th and Birmingham Symphony Hall on Friday 29th November.

The tour will transport audiences back in time capturing the spirit of a movement. Originating in the industrial regions in the 1960s and 70s across the North and the Midlands, the Northern Soul subculture emerged as a passionate and vibrant all-night dance movement centred around American soul music. Curated by Stuart and conducted by Joe, the orchestra will perform amazing new arrangements, by Fiona Brice and Joe Duddell, of Northern Soul classic anthems with a host of very special guest vocalists. Get ready to move and dance for the biggest celebration in Northern Soul music.

Excited on the new dates Stuart Maconie says: “Even though we knew that this music and performances were spectacular, the success of our first round of northern soul orchestrated has overwhelmed us. These have been some of the most amazing joyous emotional nights of any of our lives and we’re delighted to be doing it all again.”

Matthew Swann Director of the BBC Concert Orchestra said: “The BBC Concert Orchestra first performed this hugely successful stomping celebration of Northern Soul music at the BBC Proms in 2023, and we are thrilled that the passion for it continues. The orchestra and a fantastic line-up of singers celebrate this joyous British club culture movement that took towns across the North and Midlands in 1960s and 70s by storm with a concert that will bring people together, get audiences on their feet and will be enjoyed by original fans as well as well as those just discovering it”

Joe Duddell says: “The love and passion for Northern Soul presented in this way has blown us away, and we are excited to have another run of shows with the BBC Concert Orchestra and singers to explore more of the vast back catalogue of tremendous songs.”
