Fabulous, thanks Chalky 😍 Just a quick heads up, we are a small museum so it will be a nice intimate event of 60 like minded souls. Over 40 of those seats have already gone, so if you fancy it, I would book asap. Thanks so much everyone

Wigan Casino - Its Influence, Its Legacy... A Panel Event at 'Museum of Wigan Life'
Details of an upcoming event being held on Sat 30th September 2023 at the Museum of Wigan Life. Northern Soul and Wigan Casino: its influence, its legacy, and everything that followed. Something a little different to the usual type of event, but it will be a great way to spend an afternoon. Plus there's a soul night a mile up the road in Pemberton if you fancy making a day / evening of it! Northern Soul and Wigan Casino: its influence, its legacy, and everything that followed. Wigan Casino is arguably the best known and most talked about Northern Soul all-nighter. Whether you attended or not, the iconic venue has earned its place in Northern Soul history. At this unique event, join original DJs Richard Searling (via video), Gary Rushbrook, and Ian Wills, along with highly respected stalwarts Tim Ashibende, and Tim Brown for a question-and-answer panel event that will discuss the part Wigan Casino played on the soul scene, the myths, the truths, as well as highlighting the venues that followed. Chaired by Dr Paul Sadot, director of ‘Once Upon a Time in Wigan’ and advisor for the film ‘Northern Soul’, expect lively conversation, explosive stories, and an emotional look back at some of the amazing venues that we have been treated to over the last 50 years. We will look at the incredible records that were discovered, the DJs that played them, and the memories that were made. When? Saturday 30th September, 3-4.30pm Where? Museum of Wigan Life, Library Street, Wigan, WN1 1NU What is the cost? Free Do I need to book? Booking is advised, but on the day if places are available (this is not guaranteed) How do I book?

Coping with the loss of a pet.....
It's the only downside of having a dog, or any pet. You go into it with the understanding that when the time comes, you will suffer so they don't have to. I lost my Bettsy under similar circumstances. She was diagnosed with protein losing enteropathy, for which there is no cure. I tried everything I could to manage the condition, but in the end it took over. There came the day where she told me it was time, and I did what was best for her. I feel your pain Wilxy, and everyone, it's just the worst. Words are just that, but I can now sit here and think of the joy and smile. A bond with a pet is a unique and very special thing. Sending love x

Really looking forward to a great day and night remembering our friend Karl. Had some fantastic nights with Karl and Paul when we ran the back room at Lowton. Couldn't have had more fun than when we all went to Seattle and I know that's how he would like to be remembered - fab tunes, vimto 😂 and lots of laughs, let's recreate that on Saturday 🥰

Hedley Lawson RIP
Very sad news. I'm going to miss being sat at my desk only to get a call saying Hedley was downstairs at reception. Always fun to be greeted with his latest escapades and adventures and almost never walked back to my office without sponsoring him. He will be missed by many xxx
