Twas the time after Wigan had closed and was thinking that it was the end of NS and then Hinkley Leisure Centre came along, a massive sports hall. Great memories of the Ric Tic revue, Edwin mingling and dancing with the crowd,
Lou Ragland walking past, knew it was him because he'd got his name on his guitar strap
Met Curtis Mayfield there on one occassion, what a lovely fellow, although at the time I didn't think much of his stage show about 2 months later it sort of hit me with a delayed action just how good he had been.
When it stopped, so did I moving more onto the House scene, still kept collecting Soul records though
Shame they are pulling it down but nothing lasts forever eh!
