S2 E3 • Soulboy (2010) with Simon Bough

"So what's new?" "Nowt you little divvy, that's the whole point!" In this episode, the lads are lacing up their dance shoes, popping some talc on the floor, and jumping into the stomping, floor-filling soundtrack of SoulBoy (2010) the film that brought Northern Soul back into the cinematic spotlight (and gave our knees a workout they weren’t ready for). Joined by their good pal Simon ‘Boff’ Bough (an extra, chauffer and unofficial accent coach on the film set, no less!) they’ll spin through the legendary tunes that make this soundtrack a crate-digger’s dream. From Wigan Casino anthems to those deep-cut gems that make you feel like a true soul aficionado. Expect on-set anecdotes, nonsense chat about backbeats, descending brass sections, and the kind of euphoric choruses that make you want to throw your arms in the air (even if your dance moves are more dad-at-a-wedding than Northern Soul legend). Along the way, Dave, Tom, and Boff will answer the big questions: Why does Northern Soul refuse to fade away? Is it physically possible to dance to Soul Galore without grinning? And what’s the ideal outfit for an all-nighter (besides sweatbands and sheer determination)? So, whether you’re a seasoned soul stomper or just here for the nostalgia - get ready for an episode packed with enough four-to-the-floor beats to keep you grooving ‘til sunrise. Keep the faith—and keep listening! 🎶🔥 BONUS CONTENT: Craig Parkinson talking about dancing on the set of SoulBoy (you be the judge) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQ3fmyAsgAU Bruce Springsteen - Nightshift - https://open.spotify.com/track/19nEbLE6eLXatpuMw3rdtM?si=791fb39a188a4065 The Detroit Cobras - Nothing But A Heartache https://open.spotify.com/track/4jPEWuEDayxkn7tXrs6OdY?si=f632aff527364cac The Temptations - Ball of Confusion https://open.spotify.com/track/6SN51pk4UOfKa9Q9DoXEtF?si=85d234e8df9d46c6 The Temptations - Cloud 9 https://open.spotify.com/track/1A8gqfrso63AC4XVW6DTTw?si=6a3abc5269e64ce7
