Northern Soul

Synopsis

Burnsworth, Lancashire is a shithole. And best friends John and Matt want more from life than just the prospect of a dead-end factory job in their small northern town. They find their horizons opened up by the discovery of black American soul music and the British Northern Soul dance scene. They dream of going to America to find the soul record which will make them big DJs on the scene. But the intensity of their rivalry changes their lives forever.
