The Beatles, arguably the most influential band in the history of popular music, left an indelible mark on the 20th century and beyond. Emerging from Liverpool, England, in the early 1960s, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr transformed the landscape of popular music with their innovative songwriting, harmonic depth, and cultural impact.
Northern Soul, a music and dance movement that took the UK by storm in the late 1960s and 1970s, was more than just a genre; it was a lifestyle for its devoted followers. Characterized by its fast-paced, rare American soul music with a heavy beat and fast tempo, Northern Soul created an inclusive community centered around all-night dance events at venues like the Wigan Casino, which became the heart of the scene.
