That's a bit of an daft statement considering all the wonderful and total classic Northern Soul records that were played at Wigan Casino allnighters! Just about every great Northern Soul record that was popular up till 1981, was played there! Yes there were some bad ones, but far outnumbered by the good! I know Shrine's Eddie Day and the Four Bars was a monster sound there! You have to remember it was not all sorted out, like it is now! We were all young and hearing new records just about everyday.

And if it did,want chance would it have had against class tunes as joe 90? Ha, ha … yes, the worst excesses do seem to put a dark shadow over a lot of the great records played. Richard Searling had Eddie Daye covered up (as Frank Wilson, no less). I believe the D.C. Blossoms may have been spun at the Mecca. The first Shrine to get a public airing, I think. Also, I have a late ‘70s Soul Bowl list with the Cautions ‘No Other Way’ at a huge (for the time) £60; plus, a Manship tape of current ‘biggies’ with Les Chansonettes on it, from the same period. Different styles became more acceptable later on. But, apart from that, any really great discoveries after Wigan closed are of course more likely to be rarer, and hence more expensive. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Davey S Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Eddie Daye definitely got spun at the Casino and probably a few more Shrine. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Richard Searling had "When He's Not Around" by Rose Valentine & the Sisters Three (Little Ann Bridgeforth) which was virtually a Wigan Casino exclusive for years, but he did play it at every other venue he did a dj spot as well! 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Eddie Hubbard Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Yes very true .I think venues like The Highland Room were first with many records ,but after records were uncovered they tended to become more mainstream 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Yes. From 77 to 79 apart from a few of Richard's spins all the top newies seemed to be being broken at St Ives, Cleggy and Yate. In 76 Cleggy was deffo way ahead of all the others. Can't comment on The Mecca as I never went but have been told that a lot of spins later big at other venues were first played there. IMO of course Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

IMO of course I think both venues in Cleethorpes were finished as allnighers by November 1976. Just alldayers and soul nights after that. The authorities wanted it stopped as an allnighter.

Dobie5 Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Not an overly expensive record but how about The Fourmyula - I Dig Your Act , I'm pretty sure this was a Rob Smith exclusive that he regularly played at Notts Palais in the late Seventies but I don't recall ever hearing it played at Wigan.

That is Correct, Mary Chapman carried on Promoting All - Dayers for years after that and in Latter Years other Promoters got in on the act and put All-dayers on as well. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
