His guest this week is Richard Searling, an expert on Northern Soul and its origins.
Exactly 50 years ago this month, Manchester鈥檚 legendary venue The Twisted Wheel closed its doors. Many thought it could signal the end of an underground movement where obscure soul singles from the 60s were being danced-to, bought, sold, and cherished by devotees of that genre. In fact, it was only really getting started. Richard鈥檚 played a big part in the continued promotion and profile of Northern Soul since his days as a DJ and fan in some of the most famous venues. Whether you consider yourself an expert, or if you鈥檙e new to the scene, Richard will guide you through some of the finest records of the 70s, and explain why the music is bigger than ever in 2021.
A debut single from a great British singer and performer enters Johnnie鈥檚 Jukebox, thanks to listener David Berry.
Landmarks birthdays for Neil Diamond and Phil Collins feature as we dive into the archive.
Plus there are plenty of your requests, stories and song dedications throughout the show.
