Northern Soul icon Judy Street lands in the North-West this week. MALCOLM WYATT spoke to her via a video link from her home in Nashville...

 

Forty-five years after recording one of Northern Soul’s most-coveted tracks of all time, Judy Street is heading to Lancashire.

 

Tennessee-based Judy headlines Preston’s Got Soul this Friday at 53 Degrees, promoting her new Cover Girl CD.

I heard on Facebook just now that's she's been refused entry to the UK due to not having the correct work permit.

Subtle, but I got it SteveS60.....I know immigration are a law unto themselves sometimes, but sorting out work permits for a short term 5 day visit etc. is nothing new is it?

Could always blame immigrants.
