WIGAN CASINO OFFICIAL 40TH ANNIVERSARY

congratulations from jez stew me and the rest of the soul crewe  russ and co ...on your official 40th wigan casino anniversary  you will all have a brilliant night im sure ...we will be there...

any pics of the dancefloor - didnt know this was on?

Anyone know how much for this please?

Ten meat n prayter pies should get you in Sue lol

Think its £12 per ticket and £15 on the door.

If it's the "Official" one, how come it's in August ???

Getting to be more 40th Anniversaries than Final Nights at this rate...

Not too bad I've only counted 6 up to now,but I believe one or two are unofficial.

I think probably all the official ones are officially unofficial unless the officials are self appointed officials of the "Official 40th Anniversary Night", which means they must be officials of ALL of the official ones which means they have an official monopoly and probably a Headquarters building at Canary Wharf.  

I think I'll attend an unofficial one for something a bit different, I never did like corporate events and that's official.  The more I write that word, the sillier it looks.

Mark it's a brilliant dancefloor 

We have been to 2 nighters before with The Derby crew and the floor has always been good

Steve and some of the others are going after RMI

Perhaps the Lord Mayor of Wigan gave his approval ?

If Russ is involved it's official.

That's official!

 To some Russ is the Lord Mayor of Wigan

Without Russ there would never have been the Casino Allnighters which have given so many of us some fond and great memories. And at least this one is in the Wigan area !!

I totally agree with you on that fact and you might love it or loathe Russ and/or The Casino it but it was a the introduction to Northern Soul for many folks, however lots of people conveniently overlook this matter

Russ was responsible for many getting there first break D.J.ing at a big event and being able to form a long term career on the scene, without that initial leg up its interesting to think what they would be doing now!.........

Really looking forward to this event, can't wait to spin some great vinyl! Wigan Casino dancers all the way! This venue is a brilliant All-Nighter venue with wall to wall of wooden dance floor! Don't miss this!

Sorry russ ! But this time you got it wrong ...... Nice venue but not built to take the music scene... Sound was awfull and distorted. Felt sorry in my heart for dean parish.. Good job we all know that man can sing.. Sound system did him no justice.. And not enough people there .. No atmosphere... Never mind you tried .. Maybe next time!!!

far to many double and treble plays crap sound system

We use this venue for mini niters the reason the sound was distorted was that they did not use the black curtains, we use a smaller room. The venue is used for many major music events and always does well, suppose it depends on the system and the set up.  Pete and I did not attend the night as he was DJin else where that night so cannot comment on the night in general.

Smurfy

Couldn't wait for the 40th anniversary, after all the years since going to the casino, was a little disappointed with the turnout, the sound system was awfull, dance floor was v good, I think the people picking the dance comp winner should have taken a little more notice of the dancers rather than chatting to themselves, the winner is very good but a lad in black on the opposite side seemed to own the floor, as noted by quite a few, never mind though , credit to russ for giving us the opportunity to re live our youth back in the home of northern soul, some fantastic young dancers are out there , great to see them keeping the faith,
