In this special episode , we journey back to the golden age of the British seaside and the unforgettable world of Northern Soul.

From steam trains and deckchairs to trams, illuminations and ballroom dancefloors, this is a deeply personal trip through the sights, sounds and strange magic of Blackpool in the 1960s and 70s.

Through childhood memories of family holidays beside the sea, we explore how places like Blackpool became far more than holiday resorts for working-class Britain — they became places of escape, excitement and musical discovery.

At the centre of the story stands the legendary Blackpool Mecca.

Part nightclub, part ballroom and part dreamscape, the Mecca became one of the most important and controversial venues in Northern Soul history, helping reshape the sound of the scene throughout the 1970s and beyond.

This episode blends nostalgia, humour, forgotten memories and iconic soul music, featuring sounds inspired by the Blackpool Mecca alongside classic early 60s soul favourites.

this is the story of how the British seaside and Northern Soul unexpectedly collided.

So step aboard the steam train, grab a stick of Blackpool rock, and join us beneath the illuminations for a journey into one of the most magical chapters of British music culture.
