Amsterdam Russ Posted February 18, 2023 Posted February 18, 2023 That's very sad to hear. RIP, Mr Wiggins.
Godzilla Posted February 18, 2023 Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) @Chalky has some great footage of him singing at Band on the Wall. I was there and it genuinely brought me to tears. He sounded older but still fantastic and the age evident in his voice actually enhanced the whole experience. It was just beautiful. Any chance of posting here Karl?

Any chance of posting here Karl? We were at the BoTW too, it was a privilege to see and hear both the Wiggins brothers. Age had certainly not diminished their voices. He was such a great practitioner of slower material, but his uptempo numbers were magnificent. A sad loss. 1
Mal C Posted February 18, 2023 Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) Dreadful news. Rest in peace Spencer Wiggins. it’s doesn’t get more ‘Northern Soul’ than this… Edited February 18, 2023 by Mal C
