Wigan Casino - Its Influence, Its Legacy... A Panel Event at 'Museum of Wigan Life'

Wigan Casino - Its Influence, Its Legacy... A Panel Event at 'Museum of Wigan Life'

Details of an upcoming event being held on Sat 30th September 2023 at the Museum of Wigan Life.

Northern Soul and Wigan Casino: its influence, its legacy, and everything that followed.

Something a little different to the usual type of event, but it will be a great way to spend an afternoon. Plus there's a soul night a mile up the road in Pemberton if you fancy making a day / evening of it!

The Bright Side of LIFE - Vel Lewis

The Bright Side of LIFE - Vel Lewis

Around 1968, a Philly vocal group, the Naturals, were looking for a fresh bunch of musicians to back them up on live shows. A local band found out about this and made contact with the singers. Thus the Soul Crusaders and the Naturals teamed up to form an 11 strong ensemble. There were already a number of recording groups using the name the Naturals and so their managers came up with an appropriate new name for them; the FUTURES.

  2. The Greatest Record Finds Of All Time 2008

    The Greatest Record Finds Of All Time 2008

    Following on from the Graham Warr thread, I figured that this is the time to start collating some of those UNBELIEVABLE U.S. Northern finds. Or unbelievable disappointments too. From experience, it's quite often the unexpected ones which turn out to be killers! So here's an example from me, just to kick things off.... In 1988 I was stuck in a pretty boring job in between my more exciting jobs when I got a phone call from my ex boss who used to own the Warehouse in Leeds. He'd rece
