    Enjoyed the read but I do wish they'd talk to someone who experienced Stafford, 100 Club or any of the pivotal Niters & Soul Nites that happened in the intervening years before they put pen to paper.

    Very well written article

    The brochiepacs that we used to buy weren't capsules but big tablets about the size of a ten pence piece used to crush em up and mix with water and yes they did make you feel ill

    I would also love to hear recollections from the clubs that ran post Wigan
