TOO DARN SOULFUL by David Nowell
Northern Soul has been described as the longest running fad in the history of British music culture. What began as an underground 60s Mod scene in unlicensed, no-frills clubs in the north west of England became the youth craze of the mid-70s. Northern Soul has confounded its critics by surviving, and growing into an adult dance scene whose followers share a passion for the music of Black America unrivalled anywhere else in the world. Packed with memorabilia, behind-the-scenes facts, and interviews covering artists from the Motown days right up to current chart acts like Fatboy Slim, Too Darn Soulful is the definitive history of a dance scene that refuses to die.
David Nowell has been a journalist since 1974, working in various senior roles, from crime reporter to deputy editor, on several evening and weekly newspapers. A regular at Wigan Casino and other major clubs from 1975 to 1983, he is now enjoying the current Northern Soul revival. He is co-author of the best-selling Soul Survivors, also published by Robson Books.
