Cue,,,, Kev Roberts,,,, Dont think Kev did the first night but HE cerainly has a good insite to records that were broke there during his short time,,, and believe me theres some sounds that are massive to this day that were Wigan Floor emptiers too!!
The original statement the geezers may have been quoted out of context or is a complete igneranus!!
If ya young back then,,, Wigan was an exciting natural obvious progression from the Wheel, Blackpool Meca Rare Soul 71, Catacombs, Torch , Va va,,, then Wigan and so son!,,, Plus all the satalite smaller venues!!
Sure nearly all these classic clubs have played some shite records st somepoint ,,, but SURLEY alll the crap that may have been played was surpassed by some of the most fantastic Soul Records found and spun by collectors and Rare Soul DJs on this scene of ours!!
