Paul R Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Somehow one of my sisters photos cropped up on it. She used to knock about with Vaughan and the Welsh crowd, and one of the photos with Pat Blasebury(now known as Trish Pointer) was hers. She is also in the left background of the picture outside. Still no photos of me though. Perhaps I was never there! Paul Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Zoomsoulblue Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Visited the Casino from 75 to 81 - and in all that time can’t remember anyone speaking Welsh - like that 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Happy Feet Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Not wishing to hijack this excellent feature, but there used to be a very vibrant Northern soul scene in North Wales , Colwyn Bay Pier Alnighters, and Aldayers with Brian Rae back in the park again in Colwyn bay , even saw Wayne Fontana in Rhyl with a good traveling crowd from Wolverhampton and Blackpool , and that's just the ones I can remember . Used to have a great traveling crowd too , stopping off at Crewe , then last train to the Casino , found many a great tune in the local charity shop . 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

For some strange reason they used to sell bottles of Pomayne which went down well with the other 'sundries'. Pity they demolished it, drove past when on holiday & it was gone ! Always had a good following from Wales to Wigan & all the other top nighters of the time, its a shame I haven't a Welsh speaker to tell me whats being said on the film - I havent a clue. Did notice the Studio 51 or whatever it was called mentioned so I suppose that old chestnut about Billboard is still being circulated even in Welsh ! 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Mal C Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) @Wilxy Hi Mike, I remember you menttioning allot of folk from Blackwood (South Wales) area used to go to the Casino. Cant imagine any of them spoke welsh back in the seventies, I might be wrong... Edited December 22, 2021 by Mal C Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
