The Northern Soul Podcast

It’s that time again, time for the lovely jubbly Northern Soul Podcast.

This week Lucy McNamara meets René. Over the past five years, this Manchester band has performed its original funk at venues across Britain. According to the band, its music is “fabulously freaky foot-tapping funk”. Listen to what they had to say to Northern Soul and enjoy tunes from, among others, Flyte, The Polyphonic Spree, The Coves and Kishi Bashi.
