Anton L Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Absolutely brill night well worth the journey, crowd just right, and a great cross section of soul music. A most enjoyable place to DJ at, I was a bit nervous at first but no need, a good dancing crowd that dance to any good music you throw at them and they also made my life easy by requesting loads of stuff( Sorry for any I didn't get round to playing)great atmosphere good sound system and met some great local soul fans. Highlight of the night... Paul trying to slide down the banisters and falling most of the way!! Can't wait for another maybe get a 6am Finnish?! but that said I was home by 9am.. wow! Link to comment

And as for feeling young again , well 50 is now young to me I know what you mean Mak.... but consider how many times you have been at that crossroads with "our music " ... the times when you think it's all gone wrong.... then you get to hear the tunes you love and the support of your friends and you just bounce back again, Keep the faith as you want to keep it and enjoy the journey..... no matter how many wrong turns it makes..... cos finding your way, (and your "mojo" too).. makes it all worthwhile .... take care , Pete n' susan x Link to comment

Well John Howard and myself and a few more did what should have been the very last nighter there in early 2008, because within weeks they were meant to be ripping the shit out of of the interior . and it was Johns intention to continue in the newly refurbed venue with four do's a year when completed, however i suffered a heart attack being a co promotor with John we decided to leave things alone for a while until i recovered , So in answer to your question yes John and Howard may be back there in the future . Cliff and Tony asked me about Sams what they planned because they could not get city limits for christmas and ive supported them all the way and a job well done too. The casino complex is looking good too, Rob Edited December 21, 2009 by Naughty Boy Link to comment

BVS Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Calm down this is feedback, and please remember a lot of folks think northern soul revolved round Wigan casino FFS and no where else When I see debates like this one, I like to stick my 5 penn'orth in as an old soulie from the 60s scene (Mojo, Esquire, Twisted Wheel, Palais, Night Owl, Beachcomber, String O' Beads, et al). I love most of the Soul, RnB & Motown that I danced to at the allnighters in the 60s before Dave Godin (RIP) allegedly coined the phrase 'Northern Soul' in 1970. I think that my contempories and I have a slightly different opinion about what NS is / means, to most of the next generation who are likely to have started on the scene during the 70s and frequented such places as Wigan Casino and Blackpool Mecca. For what it's worth, I think that Dave Godin coined the phrase NS as a compliment to the strength of the soul scene in the North of England and testimony to the commitment of Northerners to soul music at that time. It was a great discovery for him to see for himself how vibrant it all was at the Wheel. The unique dancing styles of people there and most of all, the fantastic music, all of which blew him away. I suppose it was a bit like archimedes shouting 'Eureka' in the bath when he discovered displacement - Dave Godin saying 'this is Northern Soul' at the Twisted Wheel when he discovered the soul scene in the North because it was very much underground in those days, unlike today. My point is that NS is whatever it means to you because your opinion is as good as anyone elses even if it may not accord with theirs. Brett Link to comment
