Paul Shirley

the late kenny spence and ste whtittle in mm's also one or two other wigan lads did spots in the early days along with the late mike rollo as well but mike died of a brain hemorrhage around 75 i think may have been sooner cant remember

what a shock this sad news is, it took me right back to being 17 again when myself keith and a few other friends used to be regulars at the weekly club nights at the casino and then we were always in Mrms at the nighter always at local events i think keith was a friend to most folks on this scene a genuine nice bloke and a great laugh not to mention a very good dj rip keith

i remember he also had two within a few months of each other on auction a few years ago not the best copy's in the world went for 3200 and 3600 i think or around that figure , i knew the bloke who owned one of them anyways i have been after it myself since then and have asked just about most folks i know who might have one and asked on here twice but to no avail

it wouldn't surprise me if the price goes even dafter given the 3 people that for reasons better known to themselves keep bumping the price up with loads of time left , very strange

top man with a heart of gold god bless you tony

snide ? not at all, btw i never said i did know anything about her , i heard that the film maker went to wigan i also heard the film maker didn't go to wigan, i was interested curious is that wrong ? so the film makers age came up on wikipedia , i commented on humorous post by another person ....ffs no mention by me of any film!! no knocking the film maker!! was just a pun on the endless amount of people that claim to have been at the casino its a long standing joke on this site or didn't you know , class act maybe arrogant ..... never did i say it was the story of wigan then er? no and she actually did say herself and others on her behalf that she went to wigan and did i say that she didn't go er? no, you make a lot of presumptions take a bow the chuckle brothers

, i read she was born in 1965 that would make her about 8 when it started and 16 the year it closed , perhaps part of the 200 million mistook station rd for sesame street

been where ??

lowton is on the 11th october and wont be finishing , i think it will be every few months from now on , btw gracking win for wigan dont you think lol

comment was based on the purchase of my own copy some time ago' no er? bumping if so was unintended seeing that ive never had any dealings with the seller nothing like jumping to conclusions

started that one cheap , worth double that i would have thought

yeah and us wiganers took over the ones on the right in 74. 75 76 not sure about later ,nah but i remember folks from the st helens warington and surrounding areas all knocked around together and occupied most of the red seat's near the stage some of the best times of my life in there also the worst due to a big bag of pondrax

the blokes that came to the sink from manchester were i believe pretty well known but not to me i'm afraid but i will find out exactly who they were and pm you there names, but regarding the two clubs they were both popular with the mods i believe long before the northern soul tag, the original wheel on brazennose st i understand played a great deal of r&b same as the sink did , what i should have said was both clubs were popular with the people in to early r&b and soul ,but the wheel went on to play more american imports and what then became northern soul i think thats when they came to manchester as you put it, i just found these two bits on the net folks might find interesting Al's Soul Shack - The Venues - The Sink, Liverpool soulman1949.com/sink/sink.html www.modculture.co.uk/feature-sinking-back-into-the-past regarding why northern soul didnt catch on in liverpool im not that sure but i think i might have the answer for the later years ....there has always been a large student population in liverpool in the late 70s the indie thing took off and was big with the student population infact it still is, also acid house and the likes , hence cream and cream fields , i think its the older genaration of soulies up and down the country that kept northern / rare soul alive , in liverpool there simply wasn't that many from the start but it would be definately wrong to say there wasn't any soul in liverpool disclaimer ( i could be wrong and if so im not that bothered)

i knew a few manc's old soul boys that came to the sink club on a regular basis they told me that during the 60s the sink was just as popular as the wheel

simon the guy who told you this is wrong fair enough there wasn't much northern in the city of liverpool but merseyside is a big place mate there are and have been many soul do's in fact just as many if not more than any other county , last time i spoke to you simon was at the southport northern wkender merseyside ,but anyway before that event anyone on the modern scene will tell you the biggest wkender and longest running modern soul weekender not just in this country but in europe it started back in 87 twice a year and is stil going but moved down south , the most they had in at one time was 8000. but sad to say due to the confusion at pontins with britannia hotels taking over the promotors decided to move the event down south around two or 3 years ago i also think many people on this thread are forgetting this scene was underground many years ago' back in the early 70s most people i knew didn't have a clue about it and some that did know wasn't interested ,it just didn't appeal to as many people as folks are making out on this thread

yes indeed he is tezza, hope you make it salmon
