A Northern Soul night to take people on a trip down memory lane is coming to Coalville. It will be the first time the event has been held in nearly 50 years.

The Tiffany’s Motown and Northern Soul nights were a big attraction at Coalville’s Grand Ballroom in the 1970s, playing some of the biggest hits of the genre for the Leicestershire public. The Grand Ballroom has since become the Emporium nightclub, with Northern Soul not on the playlist for many.

However, organisers are bringing the "much-loved" event back for a special one-off night in August. It is an occasion they say will bring back memories for many and allow others to take a trip back in time.

The special event will take place in the Emporium’s main room and will see Northern Soul and Motown classics played back-to-back. One of the original Tiffany’s nights DJs, Richard John, is also coming back for the one-off occasion. Others on the bill include Colin Douglas and Mark Darcy, Woza Bennett, Andrew Sharpe and James Weston.

The Tiffany’s Northern Soul and Motown night will take place at the Emporium nightclub in Coalville’s Belvoir Road on Saturday, August 31. It will run from 7pm to 1am, with more information, including ticket prices, available on the Skiddle website. Tickets can also be purchased at the door on the night.

Simon Cowell looks for UK's next megastar boy band again
LONDON (Reuters) -Fourteen years after launching One Direction on "The X Factor", music mogul and television personality Simon Cowell is looking for the UK's next big boy band, embarking on a new project differing from the talent shows he is known for. Cowell will hold auditions for 16-18 year-olds in Liverpool, Dublin and London over the summer in a bid to form megastars on levels not seen in Britain since the best-selling One Direction, who found fame on his televised singing competition "The X Factor" before parting ways several years later. "Weirdly since One Direction, there hasn't been a successful UK band, which I don't understand why,” Cowell told Reuters in an interview.

Mum wakes up to find stranger has erected tent in her front garden overnight
A mum was baffled when she looked outside and found a stranger had pitched a tent in her front garden overnight. Erika White, 38, said her son initially spotted the makeshift home on the lawn of her end-of-terrace urban home at 6.35am. The baffled finance analyst confronted the brazen trespasser - and said initially he ignored her polite request to move on from her front garden in Dartford, Kent. She "couldn't believe the audacity" of the sleepy camper and it was only when she told him she'd call the police he upped and went.
