with Stuart Maconie: Northern soul Trunk of Funk

Stuart Maconie welcomes director Alan Byron to the show to talk about Still Burning, a new documentary celebrating the enduring spirit of Northern soul.

Stuart Maconie sits in for Craig this week and welcomes director Alan Byron to the show to talk about Still Burning, a new documentary celebrating the enduring spirit of Northern soul. Exploring its journey from rare American soul records to legendary all-nighters at clubs like Wigan Casino, the film tells the story of a scene that continues to inspire new generations of dancers, DJs and record collectors more than 60 years on.

Produced by Audio Always in Salford for BBC Radio 6 Music.
