Keep On Keepin' On!

Northern bloody soul… it’s been my life. Two bad knees, one screwed hip and a vicious dorsal bunion… a messed up family, bones of my arse broke… but I’d do it all again in a trice. Eugene and Maxine’s teenage romance first ignited on the dance floor, but life has spun them in and out of each other’s arms ever since. Now, Eugene spends his weekends DJing—still living for the music—while struggling all week to keep his Northern Soul-themed discount home improvement and white goods emporium from going under. Just when he thinks things couldn’t possibly get worse, Maxine reappears with one more request —one that will change everything. Their son has just gotten out of jail, and he needs Eugene’s help. Cue Storm Liam! A laugh-out-loud, soul-rich, cash-poor story of a dysfunctional Northern Soul family just trying to keep it together on a run-down northern high street. This edition of Keep On Keepin’ On! was published to coincide with the run at Unit 4-5 Market Centre, Crewe and subsequent UK tour in May 2025.
