Cheers Chrissie, I kind of guessed it was a bit too significant to be missed, particularly as it is the lovely Mr Levine after all

I'm always a few weeks behind the times, I've only just found out that Wigan has closed

Wow! The power of the written (typed) word eh?

I guess that's how rumours get started!

Now I am showing my age here Chrissie, but for the benefit of Bearsy, it was good up til about 77 when the pop came in.

I was probably the youngest person ever to have a go at Minshull for playing Muriel Day. Was about 16 when I "questioned his taste in soul music" to put it politely

1980 it came back from the abyss, in heinsight Richard's spoits then were AWESOME- Nurons, Appointments, Jackey Beavers, Mr Soul,Bill Brandon, Bobby Thurston, Pages,Roy Dawson etc etc. Worth travelling from Kent for I kid u not!

Between 77' & '81 were the years I graced the hallowed ground & I loved it, it would take me over 8 hours to get there from Portsmouth, as I could very rarely afford to get the expensive route on the train, it was a bit like trains, planes & automobiles, if you had no money you jumped the train or hitched, I once missed the coach from outside the Brit in Notts & ended up in a stlolen car (I didnt realise this until we were pulling into the car park at Wigan, in my defence & naivety !!!) You had to get there one way or another, there's a few other colourful tales too, but dont want to incriminate myself any further ............in '77 I was one of the 'kids' the proper soulies moaned about...........I chose my DJ's in the main room, RS being my main point of interest, along with a few others, I didnt really have any interest in the pop, with a few exceptions & spent a lot of time in M's between my favourite DJ's in the main room........getting my soulful education............I danced quite often on the balcony in M's on that bit of hardboard..........so I was the one partly responsible for the bits falling on ya head from the ceiling .

I s it really closed .
