Northern Soul is "A Way of Life" and will never die
I have been dancing to Northern Soul and to a lesser extent Tamal Motown for 46 years now, what a rush
we go to the Monaco in Hindley 1st saturday of every month and the place bounces , only regeret cannot do back drops any more as my ankles are knackered.We have stopped travelling round as much now but there is still loads of local places to get that never forgotten buzzzzzz.
Does anyone else remember going to the Beachcomber and then later on the Casino

I would have loved to have gone to the Casino but the closest for my age etc is in Manchester. Its a good read into the genre and social side of it. A local artist DW Barrow does the paintings for the casino (as seen in grand arcade) i have his email if you want to see his works online.
I have even incorporated wigan rl into it: lol

Re: Northern Soul
Shame, but Wigan really does lack a venue like the Casino.
Perhaps touring bands and acts could perform at a new purpose built facility. :doz:

You are way too young to remember
but "Thers A Ghost in my House" by R Dean Taylor is probably my favourite Northern Soul record of all time , an absolute classic for dancing to got a very fast beat to get the old legs moving

Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan
