The Northern Soul Podcast

Posted by Lucy McNamara | May 21, 2024 | Archives

What better way to round off a beautiful Sunday than by listening to the Northern Soul Podcast?

This week Lucy McNamara chats to the splendid Shauna Mackin, a young singer from Dublin who has made her home in Manchester. Already a seasoned live act and much praised by BBC Introducing, Mackin is destined for big things. If you’ve not heard her music before, think Dusty Springfield meets Cat Power meets Peggy Lee meets Joni Mitchell.

Also on the podcast are tunes from, among others, Kate Bush, Iggy and the Stooges, Gillian Welch and Beach House.
