Hey Mickey serves you right for filling it with black puds

Hey Mickey can you take the oven to MoHo on sunday to warm the pies

Isley Brothers - Tell Me Its Just A Rumour Baby Still sounds as fresh as the first time I heard it and danced to it in the early 70s

Don't forget the girls dance at the wheel too and your right Spike their top dancers and very friendly

Soulskin I take it that your an Aspuller, if thats the case why not attend a soul night this friday at Hilltops club, Blackrod, Danny Paton and Ben Hindley from Wigan Young Souls along with some of the old Aspull soul boys are the DJs

Couldnt Agree with you more about Mr Ms. To this day when I hear the Ramsey Lewis version of Wade in the Water it reminds me of Mike Rolo I also remember Mike from the Monday and Saturday nights at the Monoco in the early 70s As an Aspuller I knew Kenny Spence and Ste Whittle

Your right MrC, I had forgot political correctness had entered the scene

Why should anyone have to defend themselves and/or explain the clothes they choose to wear

I like to think i know soul music but admit to having a preference to uptempo dancers rather than x/over

I remember visiting the soul club at the old BWFC and it was definately on a Sunday night

Beachcomber, Wigan 1970, They played a mixed bag of music which included soul music that was to classed as Northern Soul Highland Room, Blackpool, early 70s was the first dedicated Northern Soul club I danced at, The atmosphere I will never forget

One thats not full of Piss cans drinking on and spilling beer all over floor like the Twisted Wheel on Sunday.

I was at wheel and saw the young uns and often see them around the wigan venues. Iv seen the guys DJ as well and they play some good tunes. They carry of the retro look very well, although as someone mentioned on another post the guys had longer hair in the 70s

Having just got back n the scene I was surprised at the amount of youngsters who attend some of the events around wigan, some as young as 17 and some even tag along with their parents. I even met the daughter of Harry Green who was one of the main casino bouncers However at 56 I was one of the young uns when I attended the Twisted Wheel, but after all I was only 16 when it closed in 1971

One of the biggest kick offs I remember at the casino nighters was when the normal night had been a punk rock do, and they where leaving as the soulies for the nighter where queing up. It ended with bottles being thrown and punches flying
