Programme on in 15 minutes on Radio 4 called Mark Steel's in Town discussing Wigan;

"Episode 6 - In this episode Mark performs a show for the residents of Wigan, where he talks about entering pie eating competitions, living under floorboards, and the radicalism of George Formby and Northern Soul"

Russ just did a cameo...

Discussed Wigan Casino briefly bring over stars like Jackie Wilson & Edwin Starr and interviewed Russ Winstanley for about 20 seconds (maybe less!) he was asked about undercover police at the Casino he said that one plainclothes policeman loved it so much that when he clocked off he came back to dance!

Now THERE'S an image for after the watershed only

The actor/director Simon McBurny ( the archdeacon in the comedy Rev ) was on Radio 4s Dessert Island discs yesterday and spoke of his love of Soul music and had Gil Scott Heron The Revolution will not be Televised and Aretha Franklins version of Young, Gifted and Black among his selections.
