I am from Scotland. I moved to Cleethorpes in the summer of 1972 for

2 years then moved to Manchester till Nov 1976. I was regular music fan

Beatles(who I still love) +. Then I was lucky to have a friend in

Cleethorpes called Paul Wright. He had a great record collection and he

very patiently educated me. We went to Wakefield Mecca later to be Tifinies

They were never the same after they were Tiff's. Any way I went to

Blackpool with another friend before Wigan opened. Samantha's in Sheffield

also to Stoke to Top rank in Hanly. By now the Torch had

closed and never got the chance to go there. Now Wigan had opened and

we would go to Blackpool then on to Wigan. I started going the second week.

Soon just to Wigan. Its a long way from Cleethorpes. I had by this time got

a Mini van and some times I used to drive to Wigan by myself. I remember one

weekend after Wigan I went to Top Rank for a 16hr all dayer. When I went

away on the weekend I almost ever time bought records for Paul. I moved to

Canada in October 1976. I have about 20 tapes I recorded at Wigan. I also

taped at the 16hr all dayer as Major Lance was live (brilliant). I had a

lot more but I gave them to people who used to come by my flat in Fallafield

Manchester and spend the rest of the day listening to the tapes before they

had to catch the last train home. They came from Wrexham, Darlington Leeds

Barnsley etc. It all started about noon on the Saturday as they started to

get in.

I had not been back to Britain since I left in 1976 till July last year

when I went home to be with my termially ill mom who passed away while I was

there in Glasgow. Strange thing was I was down town Glasgow just looking

round manly trying to buy comedy DVD's to take back. As I have a dual

player. When I went down stairs in the Virgin store and saw this CD

Greatest Northern All Nighter. I was a little shocked. Any way I bought

it. I have been since then stunned at how Northern Soul is as big as ever

and all over the net. Up till now I never even thought about looking for

it.
