Join Stuart for this unique event that will look at the struggles Black American soul artists faced, the hardships, the heartbreaks, and hear him put into context the influence the artists and their music had on Wigan Casino, the Northern Soul scene in general, and the wider music scene in this country. Chairing the event is John Manship, highly respected DJ, collector, author, international soul music auction house owner, and leading authority on Northern Soul. An acclaimed journalist and former editor of NME and The Face, Stuart joined Channel 4 in 1994, serving for eight years as Controller of Arts and Entertainment, and then as Head of Programmes (Nations and Regions). He is also a popular radio presenter and host of BBC Scotland's long-running show ‘Off the Ball’, and a director of the Film and TV company ‘Boy 313’. When? Saturday 28th October, 3-4.30pm Where?

    Have to say I really enjoyed listening to that. Some songs were stronger than others but none were bobbins, far from it. Sounds like it would have been great to be there, fantastic atmosphere.

    Ian Darrington, founder and organiser of Wigan International Jazz Festival, delivered a talk for me at Wigan Museum on Friday. It was so interesting, and he played some of Mica's music which is great. You'll receive a warm Wigan welcome Mica!

    Details of an upcoming event being held on Sat 30th September 2023 at the Museum of Wigan Life. Northern Soul and Wigan Casino: its influence, its legacy, and everything that followed. Something a little different to the usual type of event, but it will be a great way to spend an afternoon. Plus there's a soul night a mile up the road in Pemberton if you fancy making a day / evening of it! Northern Soul and Wigan Casino: its influence, its legacy, and everything that followed. Wigan Casino is arguably the best known and most talked about Northern Soul all-nighter. Whether you attended or not, the iconic venue has earned its place in Northern Soul history. At this unique event, join original DJs Richard Searling (via video), Gary Rushbrook, and Ian Wills, along with highly respected stalwarts Tim Ashibende, and Tim Brown for a question-and-answer panel event that will discuss the part Wigan Casino played on the soul scene, the myths, the truths, as well as highlighting the venues that followed. Chaired by Dr Paul Sadot, director of ‘Once Upon a Time in Wigan’ and advisor for the film ‘Northern Soul’, expect lively conversation, explosive stories, and an emotional look back at some of the amazing venues that we have been treated to over the last 50 years. We will look at the incredible records that were discovered, the DJs that played them, and the memories that were made. When? Saturday 30th September, 3-4.30pm Where?

    It's the only downside of having a dog, or any pet. You go into it with the understanding that when the time comes, you will suffer so they don't have to. I lost my Bettsy under similar circumstances. She was diagnosed with protein losing enteropathy, for which there is no cure. I tried everything I could to manage the condition, but in the end it took over. There came the day where she told me it was time, and I did what was best for her. I feel your pain Wilxy, and everyone, it's just the worst. Words are just that, but I can now sit here and think of the joy and smile. A bond with a pet is a unique and very special thing. Sending love x

    Really looking forward to a great day and night remembering our friend Karl. Had some fantastic nights with Karl and Paul when we ran the back room at Lowton. Couldn't have had more fun than when we all went to Seattle and I know that's how he would like to be remembered - fab tunes, vimto and lots of laughs, let's recreate that on Saturday

    Feels like everytime I post these days it's with sorrow. Each time I saw Tim we talked about the all dayers in Coventry, or 'mega' as he called them. So sad x

  23. Jumpinjoan
