Paul-s Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 (edited) Sorry to harp on about this fool. BUT, this is his FB profile and at the very end contains a BIG, BIG lie! I have, on several occasions asked him to change it and stop trying to mislead people. Russ Winstanley WAS NOT the the music consultant on the highly successful play 'Once Upon A Time In Wigan', which was by Urban Expansions limited (2003 - 2005) and commisioned by that company. That was myself, Adey Croasdell and Guy Hennigan (second tour). Russ was music consultant on 'the sham production at Bolton Octagon called 'Once Upon A Time In Wigan LIVE'. A cut up and hacked to death version of the original script aimed at trying to get in the West End! The first was highly successful and contained ALL original music, the second (Russ's LIVE version) was nothing to do with the successful play and had a white do wop band (flying Picketts) playing the music live. Thats the great musical advice Russ gave them " get a white group to sing Karaoke versions of the music we love". At a time when films are out and Russ is pedaling his wares from stall to stall, i want to set this straight. He DELIBERATELY tries to attach himself to my production and he did NO consulting on it, hence its success. Maybe Russ would like to comment on why he tries to confuse the two and says he was music consultant on 'Once Upon A Time In Wigan' rather than 'Once Upon A Time In Wigan LIVE', which were two very different plays! I know he reads these threads , as he always moans to the mods if anyone points out hes, allegedly, a fraud. On 23rd September 1973 Russ had the idea for putting on and DJing at the famous Soul Allnighters at Wigan Casino. Over 4 million people passed through the venue which ran four nights per week until December 6th 1981. Both Wigan Casino and Russ Winstanley won many awards for best venue and best DJ. In 1997 Russ compiled Telstar Records northern soul album Soul Survivors which has become the biggest selling northern soul compilation ever grossing over £2m. In 1998 his book Wigan Casino Story joined the best sellers' list. In 2008 Russ was featured in BBC TV's Soul Britannia and Dance Britannia and special Northern Soul features on BBC Radio 2 and 4. He has also toured with Paul Weller and Ocean Colour Scene and has also worked with Paul and Dean Parrish on the singles, 'Left Right and Centre' and 'It'll Never Be Over For Me'. Russ is also music consultant to the highly successful Wigan Casino Play,' Once Upon A Time In Wigan' which ran in June at Bolton's Octagon Theatre and will be turned into a multi-million pound feature film in 2009.

Little-stevie Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Would be good to have Russ on the forum and then he could answer this and many other questions that cast him in a bad light... Russ could also post me a reply to any questions brought up on here, i would post it up for sure.... If my name was attached to some of the comments thrown at Russ then i would want to try and redress the balance if possible... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Also we all know to well how Russ has milked the Casino cow over the years since it closed, but he's not the only one to make money out of the Casinos history. On the udder hand!

THERE IS a world of difference between the 'Flying Picketts' Karaoke live mish mash at Bolton and the original Surely RUSS, if he wasn't DELIBERATELY trying to latch on to my successful production, would just alter his biog to reflect the truth, as requested? The truth is, he was nowt to do with 'Once Upon A Time In Wigan'. If i opened a venue and called it WIGAN CASINO, im sure there would be a few words on here. The reason they didnt change the title for the Bolton production and merely added (for legal reasons) LIVE, is that they deliberalety wanted to mislead people.

Of course the scene had changed beyond all recognition to the scene they left back in the late 70s. Knowledge has improved at least twenty fold in the intervening years, so for my money the first thing they should have done (and in fairness some of them have done this) is sit back and listen to what has gone down, recognise the wealth of knowledge that has been developed, respect and work with the next generation of flag carriers, rather than simply trying to retake their thrones in Kingdom's that have fundamentally changed. Russ didn't do any of that. He always had "credibility issues" even in the halcyon days of the Casino, and isn't really part of today's scene at all. I know of two promotors on here who have booked him in recent years (one down here ), and he runs his annual candle-lit pilgrimage up Station Road etc. but to all intents and purposes he's running his own Wigan Casino bandwagon.

Baz Atkinson Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 urban expansions can go for breach of copyright -copyright is Copyright is the set of exclusive rights granted to the author or creator of an original work, including the right to copy, distribute and adapt the work. These rights can be licensed, transferred and/or assigned. Copyright lasts for a certain time period after which the work is said to enter the public domain. Copyright applies to a wide range of works that are substantive and fixed in a medium. Some jurisdictions also recognize "moral rights" of the creator of a work, such as the right to be credited for the work. while since i went to law school etc [oh yes tis true sadly but i was saved lol]but very costly -not that punitive -and a total minefield when it comes to determining a legal rememdy -my opinon of this is the moral rights argument presuming it came from russ would be fickle to say the least ?? Also what has the wigan casino trademark etc got to do with this?surely an action would be urban v winstanley unless he has been shrewd which would foggy the waters even more!! BAZ A.

Baz Atkinson Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 WONDERFUL GESTURE THANKS Ian just out of interest did you ever get to the studio ?? Lemme know whatcha need Baz. I kept copies of all the Salsoul masters we made anyway and those that we didn't manage to get are held by either Tom Moulton (who I'm seeing next week) or my mate Jeremy Newall who has the entire Salsoul catalogue. Now lemme see........you'll probably be after that unreleased Loleatta Holloway, Eddie Holman and Love Committee stuff right? And yer right.

Ian Dewhirst Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 WONDERFUL GESTURE THANKS Ian just out of interest did you ever get to the studio ?? Which one Baz? I take it you mean Sigma Sound? No unfortunately. I did pass it a couple of times - once with Val Shively in the 70's but I didn't have the balls to walk in in '76. Wish I had. I did manage to get some great studio photos and interviews with Vince Montana when we did the Salsoul Orchestra anthology a few years back and I speak with a few of the original guys every now and then - for instance, I just licensed a track from Bobby Eli who is alive and well. However, I have a sneaking suspicion that Moulton's sat on TONS of stuff from the era 'cos he collects it and then sits on it forever LOL I'm actually going to do a mini documentary with the great man in the next couple of weeks so I'm going to interview him in his apartment and get him to dig into all the stuff in his archives (of which there are 1000's of tapes) so that should be fun. Dealing with his bloody cats probably won't be as much fun however......... I'll let you know how I get on. If I start finding any Sweet and Deep you'll be the first to know..........
