alison Posted May 19, 2005 Author Share Posted May 19, 2005 Promises to be a rollicking day/night - the last all dayer was just brilliant - and this time, I promise not to sing Bank holiday weekend too, so no work the next day If you can't make this one (and why would you miss it - it's a rare opportunity to hear Butch in full crossover mode) then the next all dayer is at the end of August with not so "sooperstah" DJ's Ali & John In the meantime the usual last Friday of the month sessions will have to keep you going Blah blah blah, my favourite venue, blah blah blah, music & merriment, blah blah blah, let me sing for you.............

alison Posted May 25, 2005 Author Share Posted May 25, 2005 Any excuse to BUMP Just thought that in the light of the (very exciting) Russ W thread it might be appropriate to bring to the attention of the board what actually happening in Wigan NOW, rather than more than a quarter of a century ago. Having said that the records spun are often about 30 years old but it's still a tad more relevant to whats big in Wigan in 2005 So any more Sourcers on the road to Wigan Pier this Sunday ?
