The Sheffield culture guide written by in-the-know locals

Northern Soul: Still Burning

Fri. 15 May 2026 — Thu. 21 May 2026

Set alight in the working class communities across the North and Midlands in the 1960s and 70s, an underground scene brought together youth culture with overlooked uptempo American soul music.

Exploring its roots and celebrated all-nighters at the legendary Wigan Casino, Northern Soul: Still Burning charts how this movement – its music and DJs, dance, drugs, politics, class and fashion – has weaved and transformed itself musically and culturally through the decades.

This documentary exploring a cultural phenomenon features rare and restored archive footage from the time, along with exclusive interviews and key insights.
