lots of people seem to be missing the point on what northern soul actually is...

Northern soul is a music and dance movement that emerged from the British mod scene, initially in northern England in the late 1960s. Northern soul mainly consisted of a particular style of black American soul music based on the heavy beat and fast tempo of the mid-1960s Tamla Motown sound. The most-prized recordings by collectors were from lesser-known artists which had been released only in limited numbers by small regional US labels such as Okeh, Cameo-Parkway and Roulette. Initially, these were sometimes not new releases, and the movement was sustained by prominent DJs discovering rare records and playing them at certain venues. Later on, certain clubs and DJs began to move away from the 1960s Motown sound and started playing new releases with a more contemporary sound.

Northern soul is associated with particular dance styles and fashions that emanated from the Twisted Wheel club in Manchester and spread to other dancehalls and nightclubs, such as the Golden Torch (in Stoke-on-Trent), the Highland Rooms at Blackpool Mecca, and Wigan Casino. Northern soul dancing was usually athletic, resembling the later dance styles of disco and break dancing.
