Soulboy – northern soul film lands
I've lost track of all the northern soul films in production, so let's just pretend we've never heard of Soulboy before (even though it's probably been featured on these pages before) and take it as it comes. So, the plot: 1974. Power cuts, strikes and boot-boy aggro on the terraces. […]
