Wigan
The Bees Knees is now called " Last orders " The "Ship pub " just around the corner from the Casino is now just a facade for part of the front of the Grand Arcade . I personally feel you will be disappointed with your visit , there are only scant reminders of the Empress [Casino ]Ballroom my feelings are the council have never wanted to recognise it with a worthy memory , due to all the bad publicity it brought the town , whether it was warranted or not . Just my personal opinion of course . Much has changed over the years , but I hope you enjoy your visit WiganBrian .

Paul Thrower, sad news
After reading all the lovely things you have all said about Paul , It just confirms my thoughts that he was THE nicest man on our wonderful soul scene. A true Gentleman with a wit and panache unsurpassed . R.I.P Paul WiganBrian .

Missing singer in The Tams Hey Girl Dont bother me video on TOTP
Roburt is spot on . the day after at school , it was the main topic of us 14/15 year old`s about the guy cocking up his performance on T O T P who had fook all rhythm , the main consensus was he left the stage through embarrassment , I seem to remember some folks having trouble dancing to it at school Disco`s due to the unusual off~beat . Funnily enough I was talking about this at the weekend and me and my mate said it was the "bald " one who left the stage !!!!!!!!!! memories ain`t what they used to be . WiganBrian .

Trouble At Mill
D J ing on the south coast a few years ago , an influk of handbaggers & knobheads hit the floor in a circle , you can spot them before they hit the floor , anyway after several polite requests " no drinks on the dance floor please " and some proper soulies asking them to abide by my request , I just hit the stop button mid track and announced no more music till they removed their drinks ...........success, as they all left the dance floor very sheepishly with the soul fraternity clapping as they left ......job done WiganBrian .

Wigan Casino Shopping Centre
Memories there Rob , I used too frequent Chaplins underneath the Playhouse back in the 80s it was down the alley just before "the iron bridge " , were many a fight out of school would be arranged there {the bridge not Chaplins } Drewtg has his target spot on for the entrance to the Casino , had the conversation on it`s whereabouts many times , some people are so way off .
