One of the UK's leading female emcees. LyricL has appeared on stages worldwide from St Petersburg to Lisbon, and released singles in New Zealand, Austria, Japan and USA. Sought after by many producers for her lyrical ability and creativity within Hip Hop, Jazz, Afro and Broken Beat and Soulful House.

When we received this album from old NuNorthern Soul Fam member, Sarah Sweeney who we first met when she was one of the Chibuku Shake Shake residents in Liverpool, and now resides in Cardiff, and  runs Fresh Rotations the label behind this release!

We couldn't believe our ears... Tight production, plenty of soul and killer lyrics and delivery so good, even UPS couldn't match!

NuNorthern Soul contender for album of the year!

NuNorthern Soul uStream Session - Liverpool 27th March 2011

All Aboard

We managed to record two hours of the uStream broadcast from the event at

The Shipping Forecast on Sunday the 27th March.

Thanks to NNS All Star Ste Hodge for helping us sort the sound issues, good to have a set of ears out there!

There was a nice crowd in with a few people enquiring about NuNorthern Soul and the music being played, which is always nice.

Lots of nice music recorded, only slightly ruined by Phat Phil's ugly mug looming in the video.

Chester Summer Sessions

Flying the Flag...

We sit here, windows open wide, music sneaking out the speakers and we could swear Summer has arrived early...!

If this sudden run of Sunshine is a sneaky peek of what is to come then we are in for a treat of a Summer...

As Roy once said "Everybody Loves The Sunshine..."

Sunshine Soul

For those who are not familiar with NuNorthern Soul and its history, we started as Northern Soul in a tiny boozer in Chester over 10 years ago... We added the 'Nu' part as we kept getting die hard Northern Soul fans turning up and them be-moaning we had nicked the name of the scene they loved so dearly...

Anyway, keeping on track... NuNorthern Soul will be hosting Monthly all day affairs at The Commercial Hotel in Chester. These sessions start at 2pm and run for 12 hours, we have an amazing outdoor space that runs till 10pm and then its inside for 2 rooms of music ranging from Soul, House, Disco, Dance Floor Jazz and other musical oddities...
