The Gang Bang "Who said honky's aint got soul" That's a mad one for me Julian Covay " A little bit hurts" love it but heart attack material Otis Blackwell "It's all over me" danced my legs off to this,sounds a bit mad now though,But still worth a jig

A touch on the disco side for me,But a good dance tune with a nice bit of "Bass" on the boom boom bits https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQLyrtoodis

Was it Dale Winton

He sang it live a the Mecca though I'm led to believe,At an all dayer

He did reply, he says and I quote "I don't think so" So it might have??

Just have via "Facebook" will he reply ????????????????

Cruel but fare Jim No spots nowadays and no hard on for yonks

You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real), Sylvester Backing vocals by "Two Tons Of Fun" Who later became the "Weather Girls" of it's "Raining Men" fame, Yeah it maybe was played at the Casino But not in my time But then again you never know ??? The plot thickens !!!!!!!

Different times really, But many of the young kindergarten kids are on here and replying to this type of conversation, Not me of course coz I was 16 and a bit when I first went to The Casino,So I'm an oldie, If they where 13 etc they must have had painted on "Tash" for the lads,And socks stuffed down the Bra's for the girls, Because when I was 13 I was covered in yellow black headed spots on my face,And could only just manage a hard on in the morning,Never mind staying up all night dancing

I never heard it at Wigan Malc,I was there quite a lot between 76 --79 But as you know in this type of topic "Never say Never"

Bloody good question, The 75p rings a bell, It doesn't sound a lot nowadays,But my first weeks wage was £6.00, So 75p was a lot of dosh in those days The price of an average British single was 25p

Got the cigarette ashes a bit wrong but as many a reader on here must now know it's Sunday and I've been on the beer all day so please take my apology and many thanks to a certain person for pointing it out to me

My (That Old )Piano -- Diana Ross Tear Stained Face (Piss Stained Pants) -- Don Varner Cigarette Ashes ( Tar / Nicotine ) Falling from the roof -- Arthur Connely Rabbit ( After some gear ) -- Chas and Dave I'm On My Way (to the graveyard) -- Deane Parish (it's a church just outside Bolton) And last for the moment and without the least,You can't do these threads without a shout to Dana Valery "I Didn't Know That The Dealer Had Lied" Grant

Born 26/08/59 First time at the Casino 25/09/76 Age 16yrs and 1 month Got in for the first few times using a mates membership card torn in half My membership card was dated Oct 1976 (was I had it nicked in 1991)

There is a bit of info on here about Mike Raven and all the early Radio 1 and 2 dj's There is also a sound clip from one of his shows in 1968 https://www.radiorewi..._raven_page.htm Sorry did not read all the other posts on this subject just seen that the link was already posted

Yes it was Steve who invited me up there On Saturday,Good night by the looks of it but I couldn't stay very long had other fish to fry

I wasn't being sarcastic Phil,What I meant was that Phil H remembers everything and he was there with me at the time,He said it got played so It got played Now wheres that pie

Went to St Bernadetts on Manchester Rd on Saturday, Really nice place great atmosphere and some good tunes First time but I will go again Phil you would like it

If Phil H says it was played then it must have been

Its humble pie for tea tonight then for me and Malc, The posting about the walking backwards and forwards dance type thingy, They all (The Mecca lot) did it at the Ritz,but I never remember anyone doing it at Wigan And if I'm wrong then I'm wrong,Never heard it at Wigan myself though,I must have been in M's or having a Jimmy Riddle

Tis nowt but a lie your honour The before mentioned Jackie Wilson had many a tune played at the Heart Of Soul, "The Who Who Song" being a fine example The common and muck type of ditty that shall be known as "The Car Wash" Was never played at the before mentioned establishment for nocturnal dancing and other recreational activities, And so it will be sent for ever in to the hell and damnation that is called "Channel 4's greatest disco hits off all time" That is of course til I get pi**ed at a party and tell everyone its a NS tune

Car Wash the Question!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never heard it at Wigan, Not saying it wasn't, But I never heard it there, Loads of other "New York Disco" tracks were played though

It wasn't CBBC Phil it was on ITV And here is a photo with one of his mates
