The Music

This is
Northern Soul

Rare American soul. Born in Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia and forgotten corners of the American record industry. Found in Britain. Played all night. Now back home.

American music. British movement. Back in America. That is what the crossed flags mean.

From the Box

Three Records

The top three of Kev Roberts’ Northern Soul Top 500. Every one has a story nobody in America was told.

The Club

What the Club Is

01

Soul Nights

A recurring home night in Fairfield County, run properly. Original vinyl, a wooden floor, and a room built for dancing rather than for standing about.

02

The Record Bar

Selected dealers trading before the music starts. Northern Soul, Detroit, rare soul, R&B, Motown and modern soul 45s across the tables.

03

Guest DJs

American collectors alongside DJs with genuine British scene credentials. The connection to the UK scene is the thing nobody else here has.

04

On the Road

Branded nights across Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts, placed where the members actually live.

05

The Writing

Northern Soul Classics tells the history of the records one 45 at a time. Read the story, then hear it played the way it was meant to be heard.

06

Membership

Twenty five dollars a year. Entry to your first night included, advance tickets before general sale, and a hand in what the club becomes.

Honest Position

Where We
Are Now

This club is being built in the open. Nothing below is dressed up.

  • Brand and writing are live. Northern Soul Classics is publishing record histories now.
  • Founding memberships are open. Sixty days. The number decides the size of the first night.
  • Venue is not signed. Rooms in Fairfield County are being viewed. The floor has to be wood.
  • DJs are not announced. Names go up when they are booked, not before.
  • Record Bar dealers are being approached. Four to six tables, free during the launch phase.

What your money does

Founding membership is a demand test with a floor under it. Enough members and the first night happens at a size the room can carry. Not enough, and every founding member gets a full refund. No club gets built on a half empty floor.

Founding Membership

Join the Club

Twenty five dollars for the year. Entry to your first night included. Founding membership closes on 13 October 2026.

Not Ready Yet

Get the Dates

No membership needed. Dates, DJ announcements and new record histories. Nothing else.

ZIP code decides where the road nights go. That is the only reason we ask.
