Mark S Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 Brilliant thread definately one in the eye for the nostalgia freaks . A northern soul club with an across the board music policy playing contempoary , oldies and modern soul and it just happend to be Wigan . Could such a place exist nowadays ?

Guest Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 Remember this being played No but remember this being played
Guest Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 No but remember this being played If we are debating contempary sounds played at a venue , The ones which were played at The Wheel between 1965 - 1970 , nust be strong contenders ...... Malc Burton
Soul Shrews Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 The Dells-Your song Bobby Womack- So Many Sides of you Eloise Laws-If I don't Watch Out Dianne Ducane-Better Late Than Never Arthur Adams-You've got the Floor Skip mahoney-Janice Keni Burke-Let Somebody Love You Billy Nicholls-Diamond Ring Atlantic Starr-Circles A few from the late days of Wigan Would have thought Atlantic Starr & Bobby Womack were post Wigan? How about Jean Carn "If You Wanna Go Back" Cheers Paul
Godzilla Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 ....And that is actually very good! Blimey - exhausted after the Sunday picture quiz. However, before I hit the sack, here's an EWF track that was played at Blackpool Mecca but perhaps a bigger sound at the Ritz in Manchester: Biyo
TOAD Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 Yep,l'm with you on that,but l didn't want to cause any trouble...82 l would say for those two! bobby womack was played off the bev glen lp at the casino uk release came out much later !
harpo1 Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 Lots of early modern tunes were played on release Patrice Rushen..."Haven't you heard" Phylis Hyman..."You know how to love me" Kenny Burke..."Let somebody love you" Peabo Bryson..."Why don't you make up your mind" Revalation..."Feel it" Bobby King..."If you don't want my love" Bobby Thurston..."Very last drop" Dells..."Your song" and off same album..."All about the paper" Omni..."Keys to the city" Leon Bryant..."Mighty body etc..." Charles Mann..."Shonuff no funny stuff love" Webster Lewis..."Let me be the one" Charles Johnson..."Never had a love so good" Kalyan..."Just let me love you one more time" Chuck Cissell..."Don't tell me your sorry" Luther Vandross..."Never too much" Truth..."Coming home" Eloise Laws..."You make it so hard" Masterpiece..."The girls alright with me" Leon Peterson..."Don't squeeze the sherm" Champaign..."If one more morning" Zingara..."I surrender"...(could be just post casino) Ellusion..."Living on the verge of leaving" Can't get into the boxes without disturbing Sandi who has dropped off in the chair...will look more closely tomorrow PH
harpo1 Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 As for Bobby Womack..."So many sides"...first time i heard it was at the few Friday night all-nighters at Newcastle under Lyme Tiffany's run by Dave Thorley, i would say that was around '83'ish...Sam played it, and i went in Pep's on the Sat. and got the Poet album I am certain i didn't hear "Circles", until post Wigan, i played it at the Cavendish around "83, cant get to my 12 to see date at the moment Jean Carn was released in '76...i cannot believe that such a high profile artiste on such a label, could have not been played out and about on the dance music scene, but then it was reactivated early 80's
harpo1 Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 A few from earlier times played as new releases Exciters.."Reachin for the best" Miracles..."Love machine/nightlife/overture" Sisters Love..."Learning to trust my man" Oscar Perry..."Mainstring/i got what you meed" 21st Creation..."Tailgate" James Wells..."Baby im still the same man" Dooley Silverspoon..."Gameplayers" Moments..."I got the need" First Choice..."This is the House etc..."...poss pre wigan Rimshotts..."Do what you feel" Millie Jackson..."House for sale" there are so many...pity many survivors from back then have lost the ability to listen to current release soul from the period since eh!! Harpin
Mark Oliver Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 A couple of additions: Richard played Al Hudson and the Soul Partners - Spread Love on a Saturday night which at that point seemed to be relatively unknown, well put it this way only a few of us recognised and danced to it. Steve Whittle (I believe) played Pigbag - Papa's got a brand new bag in M's. Was with Mudd, Tommo etc in Leicester on the Sunday and Mudd went missing for several hours. When he came back he explained that he had been riding a bike around Leicester trying to find a record store open on a Sunday to buy this new release. Crazy times! Mudd R.I.P. Mark
TOAD Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 THE UK MOTOWN LP OF POET CAME OUT AFTER THE CASINO HAD FINISHED,WAS ON BEVERLY GLENN FIRST
TOAD Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 MARY WILSON YOUR THE LIGHT THAT GUIDES MY WAY MOTOWN UK A NEW RELEASE
SteveM Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 Some crackers there but l'm quite sure 'Never Too Much' was never played at The Casino....and don't think Bobby Thurston was either...Brilliant as they are!! Pretty sure Bobby Thurston was Webby. June 81 release and Richard played it in his spots as a new release. Think Luther was an October 1981 release and a huge record at Clifton Hall.
TOAD Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 WRONG BOBBY THURSTON THAT ONES LATER JUST ASK ME FROM THE CASINO ERA
TOAD Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 2 DIFFERANT LABELS TO ! EPIC AND THE OTHER WAS AN LP TRACK. REISSUED ON A HI HUT UK LP
SteveM Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 ....Get in there,mate,always thought that Love You Til The Very Last Drop was 83ish and Luther was about the same time..So both of them were played after Wigan shut then...? indeed Both 1981 releases, BT June, LV October. so LV unlikely to have been played at Wigan as I said. But Richard, as well as the likes of Sean Hampsey and myself were playing Very Last Drop as a new release at Clifton Hall and other venues on 12" if I remember correctly. Maybe he didn't bother with it at Wigan. Sean ?
