Visit twisted wheel forum (it's free and no advertising on it so no other motive than a wish to share knowledge) There's an interesting thread on there about the "tinned chicken club" Spike

Great idea Ian Perhaps a membership card from soilsource ?? Photo id Any bother and your banned from all participating venues ? Spike (I'll get me coat!) Cya Friday

Ain't that the truth jr walker Lovin by the pound Otis redding Please let me in jj barns These tend to get my juices flowing at the moment

Looks better embroided think it was the only one that was printed ?

Yes that's the one!!! Wish I'd kept mine;;(

I don't think that you are a keyboard warrior mate As a wheel regular for the last 4 years I do agree love the Fridays and the allnighters ( but I don't stop till the end work commitment ) Sunday's are fantastic up to About 5pm then you see to get loads of "tourists" (for want of a better word) drinking on the dancefloor spilt drinks ect. Great atmosphere though and I am still hearing stuff that is new to me and have to ask wtf is that Today I'm gonna try and dance to as many tracks as I can today is gonna be special it's the wheel and long may it keep turning Spike

Don't chip away too much of the dancefloor please it's mighty crowded as it is!!!;)

Well some of the attendees at the wheel were some of the origanal cool cats as you call them If you haven't got anything constructive to add to this debate why use it to have a go at the oldies scene? What has German record collectors got do with a German hotel group developing whitworth street? I personally enjoy both the Sunday and Friday soul sessions at the wheel and therefore will help in any way possible to keep it open It is a big part of the history of the soul scene to me it is the birthplace of what became northern soul If it goes it will be another part of history lost forever Best of luck looking for the next big thing I'll just keep on dancing with the geriatric Crew

Never been a "badger" myself But I do remember the worst one that we had given to us at the 3rd anniversary @ wigan It was a square piece of cloth with a badge printed in the middle bit like a cheap hanker chief !

Stood in the queue waiting to go in Can just hear a distant beat conning from the dance floor can't quite make out what the tune is , but the. excitement and expectation is starting to get the adrenalin going! Bump bump bump goes the beat still can't make it Testing one two three Can't wait to get in Get in Another tune is on I never get to know what was playing first!! Forget to ask as I get carried away with being at another soul night ( at least I hope that this will happen tonight at the wheel!)

Fantastic read little Richard at the casino WOW

Alongside of giving examples which is a hep to me,cos I ain't got a clue what "crossover"'is could some one define the term crossover? This is a genuine quest for knowledge not a piss take

Just been sent this link https://www.mdmarchive.co.uk/archive/showartefact.php?vid=315 Any of you guys ever go here ? It was before my time sounds amazing Spike

My mate Benny from chesterfield has a photo of jr walker laid on his back playing sax from that performance tookwith a poliaroid If I can get him to scan it I'll put it on here

No Offence intended Andy You never know on this forum not everybody likes us oldies ;) Happy new year

That second room is what they now open in sundays What were the nighters like in the 8ts? Cos they have a policy of only playing tracks that were played at the original twisted wheel clubs now which works for me but not perhaps everyone!;)

Are you saying that the current wheel is situated in a gay club? Or are you trying make some sort clever comment snout the revived twisted wheel sessions?

typical bank holiday weekend cica 1977 Fridays either sammanthas Sheffield or over to notts to the Brit then off to coalville or Peterbourgh (was that on Fridays??) allnightrs Saturday wigan Sunday back to notts pally aldayer Monday matlock bath pavilion aldayer Kin ell it was nearly Friday again!!!! Ps was the coalville nighter at a bailies club ?? Just remember that it was in the town centre

The original wheel was brazenose street no longer exists The whitworth street site was the second location for the wheel which closed in 71 It then became placemates which was a night club don't know if it was a gay club or not? The re-opened wheel at the whitworth St site which opens as a soul venue twice a month is now called legends and is indeed a gay club On Fridays when the " wheel" is on we can only use the downstairs part of the building that's the original stage room and coffee bar the rest of the building is used as a gay club never any problems with either crowd! For the Sunday sessions we have the use of the upstairs which has more than doubled the 400 capacity So we get two dancefloors and three bars At the last Sunday session they had to open another bar / dancefloor area because about 1000 people turned up! If you like really old rythmn n blues ska sixties soul mixed in with motown and cassic " northern soul"? Give it a try If you turn up toad find me and I'll buy you a pint Spike For the Sunday
