‘Good For The Soul’ celebrates the joy of dancing to Northern Soul. This fast paced stylised short film plugs right into the emotional & cathartic nature of the music. Intricate & expressive dance moves are delivered by Durassie Kiangangu. A soundtrack of blistering rhythms & raw vocals arrive in the form of Tobi Lark’s rare soul track ‘True True Love’, the result is a fusion of dextrous dance moves & potent sounds that will totally turn your heartbeat up! The film was originally presented at ’50 Years On The Soul Stays Strong’ an exhibition marking the 50th anniversary of the first legendary Wigan Casino Allnighters in 1973. Northern Soul has such a rich legacy & it’s devotees are very passionate about it, this film however focuses on the here & now, the energy, heat & wonder of being in your own dancing world. The Northern Soul scene continues to attract increasing amounts of Soulies young & old all keeping the faith & letting the music move them.
