How about the platters? ;) I'll get me coat

If I remember correctly we were asked if we wanted the tv cameras to film at Wigan casino Think the vote was a resounding no Did not go when they filmed myself But I heard that those who did had to sign a consent form anyone remember this ?

My mate graham W. from holmewood chesterfield had "I'm a riker Liker "on his holdall then wondered why the squad used to target him Wasn't there an americwn record lable called rika?

It was set back off of the main road think it is Mansfield road The club on the roundabout at holmewood was Sherridans Country club and the pub accriss the road was the Williamthorpe Sherridans dud have an upstairs room Google maps temple normanton Bonds was near the old school that is still there new houses are now built on the club site

Grassmoor right track soul club in parish hall Temple normanton is the place where the miners welfare was there was a pub across from it on a rased mound lords arm I think It wa known as bonds main cis that was the name of one if the coal mines that was at temple normanton

Hide n seek the sheep Take me in your arms and rock me(a little while) Isley bros Last call jr walker Ain't that the truth jr walker Restless margie hendrix Love dancing to these at the moment Spike

Yes they were the ones Yes I think they cost about £3 ??? Had an old school mate working in the army stores so we got staff discount! Spoke

There was no upstairs at bonds main as it was only a single story building

Julie bebb a very good friend of mine back in 76-79 she the girl dancing in both clips not seen her since 79 is she still about I wonder ? Steve pike chesterfield

No they were just a plain upper no pattern I've got two pair of loakes at the moment one dark brown one black the black ones have felt dancing soles in them not allowed outside at alll Think I'm nearly twice the weight I was when I was attending Wigan Lose wright the northern soul way ?

Best shoes I had for dancing red leather royals from the army store think they were officers shoes ? £5 wakefields army store chesterfield in 77 had the re-soled about 3 times until the uppers split these were only ever used on the dance floor never went out in them used to carry them in a plain black holdall with towel spare shirt and trousers on and a bottle of brut! Polyvelts? Looked ok on girls can't remember any of my mates wearing them Wasn't too keen on the crossovers either Keep on dancing

As I've says before circa 78/9 Back to sta pres Ben shermans Fred perys brogues for me Gone the 30 inch bags Gone the badges and patches A whole new skinhead suede head mod style was back in for me Clean cut and smart was always my ideal look But from about 74 two years before I went Wigan we started to leave the sta prest Dic mart Ben Sherman style behind and wore those awful Oxford bags then even wider parallel trousers At first high waist band then single waist band white leather belt I always wore a Fred perry polo shirt for dancing(still do never wore a bowling shirt or bowling shoes !! Love the more smarter style myself But each to their own

More like fat fighters of little Britain That's what Margery advocated "dust "

Great insight into the Origanal wheel days Brian Did you ever play it at 45rpm instead of 33rpm ? Bet that would get Thier feet moving Hope to see Roy tonight I will bring this up and I'm sure he will tell me some more tales from the olde days The planning application meeting re the developement of the wheel site was adjourned for a month full further details on the twisted wheel forum Spike

Anyone would think that we never slept!

If I remember correctly the mushroom was more of a hippy joint when on newbold road Afghan coats kaftans and weird long haired types No wonder they kicked us out when they moved into the record centre ;) Spike

Roy did wonder what had happened to the cut down copy Was it a regular thing to do in the 60's? And why was it done ? Are you a friend of Roy's I will be seeing him Friday night and I'll mention this thread to him Spike

Thursday 28th 2012 planning application and meeting regarding the develooement of the site of the twisted wheel club. We should get to know the result of the meeting after the meeting Could be an interesting topic to bring up at the Friday symposium ? Spike

In 1978 I paid 50p for the taj mahal album natch'l blues this has ain't that a lotta love on it It was in one of those boxes upstairs in the mushroom In 78 this tune was a massive big floor stomper at Wigan I did not realise that it was first played back in the 60's at the wheel Roy Harrison told me that the wheels copy was the album cut down to 7 inch proportions don't know if this is true or if it was ever realeasd in the 60's as a single ?? Over to you lot;)

Went past hudsons yesterday afternoon There is a letting details notice in the window some one has wrote under it Elvis has left the building Very clever for a music shop I thought
