The 6 Music Festival Fringe Presents an Exclusive Preview Screening of 'Northern Soul'

As part of the 6 Music Festival Fringe, are proud to partner with Cornerhouse to show a preview screening of 'Northern Soul', the story of a 1970's club scene with its roots in Northern England that changed a generation.

The screening takes place on: 

• Wednesday 26 February - Doors open at 18.00. Event starts at 18.20 and ends at 20.40
• The screening will be at Cinema 1, Cornerhouse, 70 Oxford Street, Manchester, M1 5NH 

Starring Elliot James Langridge, Joshua Whitehouse, Antonia Thomas, Jack Gordonand featuring Steve Coogan and Lisa Stansfield, the film is an authentic and uplifting tale of two young boys whose horizons are opened up by the discovery of black American soul music. No longer satisfied with the prospect of a small town life and a factory production line, they dream of going to America to discover super-rare records which will help them to become the No.1 DJs on the Northern Soul scene. Their journey forces the two best friends to confront rivalry, violence and drug abuse as their friendship and loyalties are tested to the limit.

After the screening, Stuart Maconie will host a short Q&A with the director Elaine Constantine and producer Debbie Gray.
