Soul Boy

Just caught this earlier this evening - a charming documentary following a young lad on the verge of his 18th birthday, following his great love of soul music. Worth watching on iPlayer: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000jk57/our...

Missus watched it and loved it.
Will be having a look as I am a massive Northern Soul fan.

And a brilliant dancer by the way, ahem !!

Anthony is an inspiration to his generation, great to see his passion for Northern Soul. A follow up programme is needed to see how he is coping without Luke, his key worker, they had such a close bond.

I enjoyed the programme a lot. I hope he gets on OK.

Thank you for drawing my attention to this. It really showed the joy that can be found in music and it was lovely to see Anthony find a ‘family’.

Northern is and always has been a massive "underground" movement.

I started going to all nighters in the early 80's and still do Souls nights even now.

If anything , the scene is bigger now. Most Scooter rallies have a huge Soul following.

I'm more involved with the biker scene but started out on scooters and still have 4 of them, but Soul is something I will always love.
I even have wee dances in the house lol. Too sore for drops and spins these days but jeez, back in the day hahaha
