After the massive success of 2014, now comes North by North-West Festival 2015 with some of the biggest music legends of all time!
To celebrate the resurgence of Northern Soul, Friday brings one of the greatest legends of all time – Geno Washington and the Ram Jam Band – to headline the first night. One of the icons of the sixties, Geno became synonymous with the Mod revolution and subsequently the Northern Soul phenomenon nationwide.
Joining him on Friday night will be Soul Train and opening the festival will be The Sixties Gems, covering everything from Lulu to The Shirelles.
On Saturday, Mod icons Secret Affair headline this full day of music. The band’s debut single “Time for Action” sold over 200,000 copies, launching them firmly into the Mod arena as one of the all-time great bands. The Faces Experience will take you through the Rod Stewart era, The New Amen Corner will be playing some of their greatest tracks with Jeramiah Ferrari and The Visitors completing the line-up.
Both days will be hosted by Northern Souls’ Roman, who will be playing classic favourites from the era.
