Wiganer1

======== ive not heard the tape but have got it somewhere.. for me it epitomises wigan - it had something for everyone,,,oldies newies stompers and shufflers....the whole kibbudle.. musically all the sounds played there have shaped my musical tastes forever...8 years of musical magic.

======= its a real good record as well pete...bad luck mate...

===== i do like mid tempo stuff and have played some at the marrs ben brown - ask the lonely and gene vito - undiscovered country ,jerry jackson - its rough out there spring to mind... but mainly an uptempo guy,,dancing and djing

====================== some great points there mate some i agree with some not but heres my take on ian levine when ian returned i didnt really know what to expect but then i heard his shows and jazz fm and played stuff i hadnt heard ever and found them quite inspirational , i liked his passion and his style of music to be honest,,couple this with his history on the scene i found and still find ian a fascinating character but am sorry we never got to see more of his knowledge and good sounds come through. ian is/was a difficult guy to get on with but i felt once you got past the barrier of mistrust there was a real nice guy in there but on his myspace he does say he doesnt have time for guys he didnt connect with,hence his 'arrogant' nature to some. the 'four vandals' was the death knell for ian and was the last in a line of clashes with the current scene at the time ,, ,i personally found it a shame as i feel he could have contributed alot more to the scene and he certainly inspired me to look for underplayed 60's & 70's oldies from the mecca ... i dont think ian will ever come back but thanks ian for the memories however short they were.. regards mark

=========== hate that one as well! sorry mark b!
