This is from our 2 years anniversary (we're 6 years now ) and this is how we do it in Norway (Oslo)
I know this will not fit the "therm" northern soul, but for us, soul will be R&B, northern, modern and some funk, and we (and all our members) like it this way. Maybe it's cos we don't know any other way and we don't have the "history" that UK have when it comes to soul music.
