Can I change the rules a bit,If I was 17 again,and if I had a car I would put these on my tape 1 The Casualeers "Dance Dance Dance 2 Lou Ragland "I Traveled Alone" 3 Lou Johnson "Unsatisfied" 4 Dena Barnes "These Heartaches" 5 Dana Valery "You Don't Know Where Your Interest Lies" 6 The Velvet Satins "Nothing Compares To You" 7 Little Richard "I Don't Wan't To Discuss It" 8 Bunny Sigler "Don't Make Me Wait" 9 Jimmy Radcliffe "Breakaway" (instr version) 10 Dean Parrish "Im On My Way" Grant

At the time of the sell out I was maybe aged 14-15,Disco Demand let me hear the records I would never have heard,Was it a sell out.for without the SELL OUT,I would not be typing this I would still be a Glam Rocker, Give it a break for gods sake Wigan Casino was a club of its time,the same as the "Haccienda in Madchester"How many cd's were made of that club / or bootleg vinyls before it became a no go area The Casino was / and still is a money maker,and long may it be so in my opinion, Listen my friends, You and I went there in the many thousands,Why??? Because we wanted to thats all!!! Now back to the thread---As I have said before NO Keep the Faith as long as you feel it's worth keeping Grant

I did't agree with the filming at The Casino,But like many people have said before and maybe will again,There is no other filmed evidence,of the venue,So who are we to complain, I saw the Cleethorpes Doc on channel 4 years ago,and it was worth watching, The thing about keeping "The scene" underground,yes I was and still am a "It's ours type of person", But remember back when I and many more of you people reading where on the "Outside",Hoping to get in, And we did and to prove the fact,many of us are adding posts to this web-site, I still want it like it was,But many more younger people now want it as it is,I-Pods,Camera phones,Youtube etc etc etc, God if we had camera phones (Back in the day), What would we see on Youtube!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Grant

The Ritz was ok but you could never beat the Real Thing https://www.youtube.c...h?v=umHTqz-i4UU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umHTqz-i4UU Grant

Heard at the Ritz and many other venues also,Suprised no one has mentioned this,if they have sorry And another couple I don't really class these as northern but as the ritz was mentioned I thought we'd give them a spin https://www.youtube.c...h?v=eoPeqUphwCk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoPeqUphwCk Grant

And the odd shivver or two,and runny nose

Same with me on the earache thing,Had it for years sice Wigan,But the thing I really remember was about 2-3 days later was the really sore throat from all the shouting"WHAT ARE THEY PLAYING THAT FOR" My mate shouting "WHAT",Me shouting back "WHAT??,ARE YOU FUC*ING DEAF OR SOMETHING" Grant

I would go for the dancer always,If he was a Dj with a really good collection,That would be a bonus Grant

I will be reporting you to the "Dear Diedre Police" Marjorie

I know what's up, I've been waiting for hours now and I just know I will be to Pi**ed to read the question,when it eventually gets on here, Not that Iam partial to the odd shandy on a Sunday, Grant

Just reading through all of the posts on here folks and thank you all for taking the time to reply to my original post on this subject, It's another one of those "In my day" Things I think.Just loved inst tracks as a kid, Not the same in the car nowadays though,Or is it just my ears, Grant

Saw it in The Bury Times on Friday, Crazy and madness do not even start my thoughts on this, All that money being spent in Bury at the moment,On the new shopping centre,When the town centre is half empty and the only shops left open are charity shops, Need to speak to Bury mbc, about the Radcliffe renewal scheme,and why close a perfectly good venue,Its only been open for about 30 years if the truth be known A Disgrace If you need local support on this issue please PM me Live in Bury Grant

Not really a bad request but an embarasing moment in time Think it was the Casino 4th anniversary Tommy Hunt was live on stage, Well this girl(no names mentioned) Who was what they called in the day a "divvy",Had latched on to our crew from Radcliffe,So Tommy asks for people to come up on stage and dance with him, Up she gets Miss X never been to Wigan before, And there she is live on stage with Tommy Hunt and the massed crowds at the Casino,And starts to dance the "Slosh" Now to the folk that don't know the "Slosh" was the dance that your mum and aunty did at weddings,when they go side to side and clap their hands behind their legs You could not dig a hole big enough,when she came off stage and started to hug us all afterwards NIGHTMARES will never be as bad as that moment Grant

Never really got "Cochise" Or should I say never really liked it,I still bought it though,But then again as a 15 yr old I bought everything "Northern" I could,Maybe just trying to keep up with the "Jones's" Or trying not to lose face with my mates who had also got them Grant

Back of the net Grant

Just a thought about instr tracks "Strings a go go" OR " Double Cookin" What do you remember it as Strings for me Grant

Not really a tune that would have been played at Wigan,But I think it has a Northern-ish type beat Grant

If the folk who dance in the competitions win or lose the fact that they have entered is proof that they want to be looked at, The other good dancers as you say sit them out because they dont need the attention, As for a on the spot type comp,I don't think so, Get up if you want,sit down if you dont,I would not want some Dj or other telling me I had won an unknown dance comp,whilst I was enjoying myself,(F**k off) may be the answer,I'm dancing Grant

When younger I loved the NS instrumentals, Just got a load of Instr tracks and listening to them again,They sound so old fashioned!! Condition Red sounds like some bloke on an organ in a workingmens club Astral Trip just like a soundtrack to some B-movie sci-fi film Loads more What do you lot think?? Yes I know there are some brill Instr tracks,Just a point of view Grant

Not sure of the money,jobs and other things mentioned, BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It cost me my first leg-over EVER Had to run for the last bus to Bolton to get the last one to Wigan She was raring for it Never mind though I got to Wigan just in time to be spat at by all those greasers coming out of the Casino after the rock bit they did Grant (the very older than most virgin in 1976) Or is that to much information

Calm down Calm down, It's only web - talk, And what are you doing up at this time? It's only us skint taxi drivers who are "tinterneting" at this un godly hour,never mind you rich folk LOL Grant
