The Founder of Northern Soul Dance in the UK???

So "back in the day" when those of us attending Wigan who stopped wearing Spencers bags and adopted narrow leg jeans and trousers as that was the fashion of the day, we became divvies?. And I somehow doubt that the clothing worn by those who went to the mecca/ritz influenced the direction of fashion for the UK.

Isaac Hayes - Disc Connection Vicki Sue Robinson - Turn The Beat Around Donna Summer - Spring Affair Esther Philips - What A Difference A Day Makes Disco ? All played at the Mecca amongst other venues!

Definitely a Wigan spin for Richard Searling other tracks getting spins around that time included: Paradise - Pyramid Do you love me - Patti Austin How Can I tell Her - Curtis Shonuff no Funny Stuff - Charles Mann let’s spend Some Time Together - Larry Houston Over The Top - Roy Dawson Let Somebody Love You - Keni Burke Gonna Give You My Love - Gary Glenn

The ludicrous thing is most of us had stopped wearing Spencer’s (Bags) at Wigan by 79 And was wearing the fashion of the day pegs etc. Strangely there’s probably more of the retro types wearing flares and adorning themselves with badges now than there was back then!

Agree LSH was a late Wigan spin for Richard

Martha Reeves and The Vandellas I’m pretty sure when they played there that the band kept breaking into One Way Out but she never really sang it,

Howard Guyton - I Watched You Slowly Slip Away

Also attended the said event and share similar sentiments, on the whole I enjoyed the evening, but there were times when it was difficult to recognise what was getting played if you were at the far end of the room and the floor could look very empty when not so popular records were played. But other than that it was nice to have an nighter back in Wigan.

Bootlegs are just that, they are not rare as the originals may be, so I'm amazed how some folk try to justify the prices they go for! Especially when described as 70's rare bootlegs/re-issue as if that has some provenance!!

Why not? They used to manage to do it at Wigan!
