    The last time I went to Wigan was in January 1979 - I don't know how I lasted throughout 78 as the music had really gotten fairly bad and good Soul records were becoming the exception and also most folk that I'd originally gone with had stopped going late 75/76. I think if it wasn't for the great crowd of younger folk going from my area I would have dropped away sooner. Lot's happened after Wigan and I think the mid 80s onwards into the early 90s for me was one the best times for Soul music with the crossover/modern scene in London and rare 60s plus the fantastic Up North weekenders in the North West. Cheers Manus

    So sad to hear this and like most on here a bit shocked by this - always enjoyed Bob's posts he always struck me as a 100% Soul guy who discovered his passion for Black music not through a network social scene but as an individual and I valued his opinion very highly - I'll very much miss his contributions on here - RIP and so sorry for his family. Respect Manus

    Sums it up Manus - and Len's words on finding a "dark corner" and doing "Whatever I do". it's a personal thing and the idea of "dance instructors" churning out people with exactly the same style feels really strange and alien to the Soul scene I grew up on. Cheers Manus ( the other one)

    The intro to PP Arnold Everything's gonna be alright always used to get the spine tingling.

    Yes Dave Evison played it at Wigan Mike - about 1976 I think. I was pretty taken aback to hear it as it used to get played at our local under 18s night 69/70 alongside mostly Tamla , Invictus and Reggae tunes. We've actually discussed this before on a thread in 2007.

    manus replied to a topic in All About the SOUL

    It really isn't an issue on the Soul scene as I know it - it's all about the records not the technical skill. I wouldn't travel to an event because someone boasted high technical expertise but I would travel if someone listed Soul records I wanted to hear and I would want to hear the records as they are without someone's interference.

    I really like to see non scene people turning up - they are mainly open to the music without baggage and tend to do their own thing on the dancefloor which is refreshing given that so much of the dancing these days seems based on 5 mins of footage from Wigan 1977. Cheers Manus

    You did well Billy - Top night Cheers Manus

    Some fantastic records on those playlists

    I only went the once ( long journey from the South Coast) but was really impressed with venue - hard to believe looking at the place from the outside that it had that cavernous room inside. And top sounds played too as I recall - nice and fresh rather than played out tunes.

    Yes I know - I was talking about Lonely Man on the Heart & Soul Lp in that particular post - maybe you should re -read it.
  16. manus
    Gone unfortunately
  17. manus
    Yes that's a possibilty - got the Heart & Soul LP - really like Lonely Man from it which I thought was LP only but recently found out via Sean Hampsey that it was released as a 45 - that would be a nice one to have.
  18. manus
    Yes great tune both sides

    Great to see people actually enjoying themselves unhindered by the rules of the new puritans

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzGESvCBNbQ How about this one - championed by top DJs like Andy Dyson in the past but still not that well known
  23. manus
    Lee Moore's I been down too long on Tri-City is a fantastic record Cheers Manus
  24. manus
    You might be thinking of Nina Simone Be's that way sometimes - great dance record but not the same song .
  25. manus
    Good post Byrney - but I would have to point out that Donna Coleman ( Your love's too strong) was around in the 70s - I had a copy in 75 and first heard it on a tape a bit earlier - I think it may have been first spun at the Mecca around 73/74. Cheers Manus
