News: Record Fair - Wigan - Sunday 10th August 2025
Little late replying, however, I went to this, got there at 10am when it opened and purchased a few ‘things’. I was there for about an hour and when I left there were quite a few people there. I’m very much a ‘getting in vinyl newbie’ so can’t really comment on the availability there but I was happy with the cheap stuff I came away with. I went to Hindley Soul later that afternoon and I chap I was speaking to also went and he thought it was good.

"Soul and Motown"
It’s when you go to a ‘Soul & Motown’ event and Ska and Reggea are played that grinds me.

Booker T Jones in London
I watched a series of documentaries on some TV channel (Google will know which channel) about Stax Records where there was a piece about Booker T. It’s well worth a watch.

Couples dancing together
The Mrs & I frequent a couple of monthly ‘soul’ events where Norther, Motown and, as I call it, Pop Soul (wedding venue stuff) is played. The places are always well attended and I suppose the mix of tunes covers the masses. The Pop Soul sometimes fillls the floor with stiletto wearing dancers enjoying the music more than the Northern stuff. Why do we go? I’m more Northern, the wife more Motown and Pop Soul, so I suppose I’m ’Under Her (My) Thumb. And yeah you can tell the would be Strictly dancers.

Wigan Casino’s 50. A pilgrimage you won't regret.
This is Wigan celebrating the Wigan Casino. Whether you now loath it, can’t stand it, hate it 100% along with RW it’s a celebration of Wigans history and culture. In a week or so RS along with other ‘soulies’ are members of a panel discussing these celebrations. If you don’t like it, don’t go. I’ll be going to the numerous events taking place in and around Wigan over the next couple of weeks, yeah, I’m from Wigan and I’m really pleased ‘Wigan’ are celebrating it.
