Professorturnups Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 Am I imagining it, or was there a patch Wigan at Burnley Cat's Whiskers, Burnley? A proper patch in the same style as the Casino ones Mark C

Stevegods Posted May 15, 2017 Posted May 15, 2017 Yes Dave , your right ... but I guess a lot think it was, because the smaller round one was made not long after . It was just not the right one for the anniversary ... still from the late 70's though if I'm not mistaken .. This is the original .. 1

I have most of the Wigan badges but not this 3rd anniversary one. as I did not go to it, at the time for me it was not important to have, (at the time I had this thing that if you did not go to a club, or in this case the 3rd Anniversary I was not entitled to ware the badge!) Strange ain't it, When the Casino management got stuck up it's own arse after Guy Darrel was on top OF THE POPS and let all the kids in, I got really pissed of about it, and when I saw some kids wearing TORCH badges & even TWISTED WHEEL LANCASHIRE ROSE BADGE, well the Casino for me was never the same, & in 74 YATE, St Ives, Cleethorpes, Samantha's & the Wirrina All-Nighter's started my attendance dropped to going every 8 weeks. So the mystery about why the 3rd Anniversary badge is so scarce, Does anyone on Soul Source know the story of why?. What I do know Mr Chris Burton of the ISC based in Soul on Spoon, got information there was a problem making the badge, hence the badge he produce at the time, the ISC 3rd Anniversary badge shown above is not the proper 1st issue, it's a later copy from 78.

Stevegods Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 It was a natural progression for me and my mates at 17 to move from the smooth dance floor of the Highland Room ( which I have a piece of ) and the salty air smell of Blackpool to carry on the evening by making the trek over to Wigan when it opened its doors ... I guess we where looked on as kids by our older peer group as we where never allowed to sit near Mad Sam and his mates at any venue , even though my best mate was his younger brother .. there was a definite "Lord of the Flies " air about things, but we where tolerated . I have to say, I never looked at anyone as kids really, as I was one myself , but didn't like the whole era when things became more commercial , and the cameras where let in and like some , stayed away that night ... Maybe it was because I didn't want others in Liverpool to discover what we had ... what we where listening to .. how we where dancing , as very few in our neck of the woods made the effort to find out .. so when it all started hit Top of the Pops ... well .... But I did go to the 3rd Anniversary, as every year , and being the collector I've always been , saved all of the memrobillia from that time . Funny thing about time is , is that it can play tricks and things can change in your own mind regarding dates and places ... but I have to say I don't remember getting this patch in 78 ... and if you say Dave it's not the first issue ... what is ... ? anyone got a first issue ? I always thought the woven 3rd Anniversary patch was the later one ?

Stevegods Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) Someone offered me £300 for mine a couple of months ago ... but dont really sell stuff at all .... unless I've got two of something , then I would try and trade first .. I know some don't really get collecting patches and other bits of memrobillia , but for me it's a walk down memory lane , together with the tunes ... it takes you back in time and when we look back , memories are all we have ... and it can live on .. Northern Soul Heritage Museum anyone 😜 Edited May 19, 2017 by stevegods 1
