"any more details on soulboy?,i remember on central tv a few years ago they were doing a film in stoke-on-trent home of the place(hanley) and the torch,i think it was to be a hall in hanley and they wanted soulsters betwen 25-35 only though to dance for the film.was this that film?." It came out at the beginning of the year and played the art house cinemas. You can get on dvd and its a good film but not a homage to northern soul as such; basically its a boy meets girl film with a cheesy ending against a backdrop of northern soul. Keep that in mind and its a pretty good 70 minutes of your life. | |||

"Craig Charles (yes the one from Red Dwarf and Corrie) has a funk and soul show on Radio 6 every Saturday night. Loads of good tunes on there and the show also has a slot called "Talcum Time" where he plays a few Northern Soul records chosen by listeners. As for songs..... Frank Wilson - Do I Love You (Indeed I Do) R Dean Taylor - Ghost In My House " I was waiting on someone to finally getting round to mentioning Frank Wilson's "Do I love you"... it is my favourite northern soul classic! oooh... and Gloria jones' version of Tainted Love.. fantastic!! | |||
