Blimey it is a hard question!! Its probably easier to split the atom than restrict it to 5.

Looking forward to hearing those 5 and many more at the 'Cats' special at Rugeley in July

At Wigan I think these five amonst many great tunes, the first three for pure energy and then some

Joe Hicks - Don't it make you feel funky

Lou Pride - I'm coming home in the morning

James Lewis - Manifesto

Ronnie McNeir - Sitting in my class

Sam Williams - Love slipped through my fingers

Cheers

Manus

Great tune Chris - I think it typifies Wigan at the height of its adrenalin/amphetamine fuelled best

FOR ME THE WIGAN SOUNDS ARE ' I'M WHERE ITS

I'M WHERE ITS AT - THE JADES

I NEED YOU - SHANE MARTIN

STICK BY ME BABY - SALVADORES

CAN'T HELP LOVIN YOU- PAUL ANKA

DIDN'T SAY A WORD- YVONNE BAKER FORGOTTEN INST, ONCE INTRODUCED AS ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR AT THE CASINO BT R SEARLING & VOTED AS ONE TOP SOUNDS FROM 75 I THINK, WAS CARMEL STRINGS 'I HEAR A SYMPHONY' NOT MUCH TO DO WITH SOUL BUT PURE WIGAN..

I can give you the 5 that made me decide to stop going to Wigan

Police Story - whoever

Theme from coloured man - tedy van's do da

You can count on me - Sammy Davis Jnr

Joe 90 - some tosser

and the record I walked out on when it was played

Mickey Mouse's Concerto in B major, I kid you not

Of course there were lots of superb sounds that will live in my heart forever, but the commercialism and expoitation killed it for me
