In the aftermath of the show after having a good laugh and more than a bit of cringing personally i think what most of us are worried about is the general public seein us Northern Soul lovers as vest wearing twirly skirt wearing soulies living in the past which we all know for the majority of us is,nt true .Yesterday was a TV Show trying to show the public what the 70,s was like at Wigan Casino Niters it involved asking the girls to dress up aka 70,s style and Paul O, Grady as a celeb presenter got in the swing of things as he saw fit 1973 tank top style he he with his bags and alniter bag trying to recreate the style of dress at the Casino .Regarding Russ Winstanley well theres no getting away from the fact he was the driving force along with Mr Marshall the owner and Mr Walker the Cas manager in getting the niter up n running in the first place and Russ well he had the say who DJ,D in the Casino and he made the right choices most of the time as the attendances throughout the 70,s proved in fact many of the 45,s spun at Wigan especally around 79 /81 are still considered classic rare dancers today Magnetics / Ray Agee ect ect ect so who can blame Russ for making a living these past 30 odd years on the back of one of the Worlds greatest Clubs its his job its one of the ways he makes a living to pay the bills like i make a living within the youth justice system good luck to him , a lot of us on here have moved on musicwise since the days of Wigan Cas we have discovered many many truely magnificent recordings with the help of soulies like Ady Crosdal, Rob Thomas Andy Dyson Tim Brown n M.Koppell Butch, Ian Levine n C. Curtis John Manship Soul Sam Richard Searling Rob Marriot Gary Spencer Guy Hennigan, Dave Flynn & the Capital Soul Club djs, Mick H Mark Bicknall Roger Banks my good friend rip Pete Lawson ect and many many more soulies who never get the credit they deserve for bringing new 60,s 70,s 80,s soul music to us.. Has for Sandy Holt well hes a great guy with a genuine love of Northern Soul Music just like me and everyone else whos posted on this topic he,s on these progs because of his love of the music and his dancing skills which aint bad for a guy his age Liam & Co young Soulies trying to recreate the dancing skills of yesteryear and Liam well hes got some great moves you cant deny that !!! All in All it was just a show about what went on in the past it really was nothing like that thats for sure i went to nearly all the niters at Wigan and believe me you cant fit into a tv prog what it was really like nothing can recreate the past at Wigan Casino you had to live in those times to know what it was all about the Music the Friendship the Gear ect ect Happy Days.. But most of us have moved on thank god and soulies like me and many more have a lot to be thankful to the Black youngsters of 60,S America for bringing us such a Wonderful Wonderful Music which without there would,nt have been a Northern Soul Scene never mind a Wigan Casino DONT KEEP THE FAITH..SPREAD IT !!!
