Head into Manchester city centre any day of the week and you’re bound to capture something quirky on camera.Throw in an all-singing, all-dancing troupe of florescent leg-warmer-wearers and you’ve got something special.

Silent Adventures has made its way to Manchester giving lovers of all things music, dance and culture the perfect outlet to enjoy all three from their own little bubble. Whack on some noise-cancelling headphones, belt out classics from over the decades and cut some shapes as you wander some of Manchester’s most popular streets.

This pretty much defines Northern Soul, doesn’t it? Our resident disco dancer/writer caught the first outing on camera.
