I had a few grt nites in the Wirrina not one of my favorets but as a local venue for music all nite it lived up to the mark.. Although it was only up the road from where i lived in CambridgeTransport always seemed a big problem as every one want to go and cars where few .Not like the long distance niters where a select few of us attended religously. I made alot of good friends there some im glad to say i still see around gracing the dancfloors and some now DJs kicking out grt sounds till this day i pass the old place a few times a year during the course of my work and remember top sounds of the day booming through my head. I will miss seeing the last of its remains go. . But time moves on and so must we, and encorage other younger people to experance wot we still have, that is truley grt. So when its our time to go the the Soul scene lives on for more happy memories for others to cheerish like the grt nites at the Wirrina . Ask yourself this question have you interduced any one younger to the Soul secen in the last few years and Why not as its down to all of us who love it so much not to let it slip away as a distant memorie like nites at the Wirrina. The scene is still very much alive and floor fillers are still being uncoverd till this day it excites me to here them and dance my heart out to them so encourage others as they will surely love wot you have introduced them to . Yours in Soul Irish

Do beleave your right Paul September 75 annIversary.

I was there i lived in Cambridge then and got a lift over there with Roger Stern in a big old Rover that got stuck in low gear un like myself LOL:thumbsup: and yes Bunty was there along with my old mates Danny and still close friend Bill Bingham from Peterbro Danny won the dance comp at the Casino that year i think .Might even have a Pic of the lads and myself on the nite. Irish

First went there on opening nite With my long time friend Tony Dellar (DJ) Richard Serling was the main DJ in the stainless steel & glass CAPSUL I bought DONA VALERIE on a demo of him only for it to be pressed the next week .Always wonderd how some casino DJs new when to sell well thats one you can work out for yourself . The place was small clean for a change i quite liked it.

Just about every week for 3 years from the second week of its opening. Till to many ass holes jumped on the band wagon.Not to say some good soul people still attended after that but the place and the hard core crowd where being exploited by the media and some of the DJs sorry to say. I ask myself dose it matter if you went only once or a hundred times as long your listening to the stuff thats got SOUL and gets you up and on the floor thats wot counts.

We were all entertained by the music but also the fantastic dancers who gave us so much pleasure to watch! Those I remember by name were: Fank Booper, Matchy, Jethro & Squeek (Wolverhampton) to name just a few!
