SAND, SEA AND SOUL - A HISTORY OF THE BLACKPOOL SOUL SCENE

SAND, SEA AND SOUL - A HISTORY OF THE BLACKPOOL SOUL SCENE

A must have book, written by Iain McCartney, with the foreword by Richard Searling.

This book charts the history of the soul, and Northern Soul, scene in and around Blackpool. This is a 'warts and all' book that does give the highs and lows over the years. There is comprehensive coverage of the famous 'Highland Room' at the Blackpool Mecca showing how the scene evolved from there. There are photgraphs included that show the buildings demolition in 2009. Truly the end of an era.

We eventually work our way up to 2006, the year that 'Togetherness' was launched at the Blackpool Tower and that along with the Winter Gardens weekenders are keeping Blackpool to the forefront of soul life today.

Cost £15, incl free post for UK customers only. Customers outside the UK should contact the Soulmine shop prior to purchase.
