Love it or hate it, big sound at wigan patti labelle

They used to throw themselves about to this PAT POWDRILL

morning malc, very good point mate, makes you wonder would the places like the the torch, cleethorpes, mecca etc have carried the banner as much has wigan has over the years? there was some trully great music from those venues as well,but would the history of been the same? suppose we`ll never know wigan in so many ways has overshadowed so many other venues imo

Here,here don`t think to this day ive heard anything to rival some of those spots in the last two years, have a couple of old northern noise mags from then, searlings say so in there with his playlist WOW!!! this of course is only a personal opinion, but i think those years may have been the begining of the RARE soul scene as we know it today, will never forget him playing things like moses dillard, court davis, little ann etc it was just a brilliant time, and at a time when really the place was on its knees, i stuck out the saturday night sessions it was a shame to see how the attendances had dropped but there was some trully great music played, great memories for me anyway

mr manship has it listed in his price guide roger, saying that i think the one daves on about is the only one ive ever seen or heard of, went through a stage in my youth where i collected stockers, and must say its a hard one i think unless of course anyone knows differently

Alan rhodes wigan sound

was out with him last night,allways been a jammy bugger though he bought his copy of joe hicks off soul bowl £5 remember him getting it there must have been some kind of cock up at soul bowl he was expecting the other copy, as for ronnie with his gifts, i`d sold my big collection in the early eighties, and a girl i knew was trying to raise money to go on a kibutz in israel, so i leant her £200 and she left me a fifty box of her records as collateral, she never came back, and i`d dropped out of collecting so i gave them to ronnie, only to realise years later what i`d given him, i`ll tell you two of them PARISIONS-TWINKLE LITTLE STAR-DEMON HOT, PATRICE HOLLAWAY-STOLEN HOURS-CAPITOL DEMO, plus 48 others, he`s funny as fook was talking to him about this last night,and he swiftly changed the subject

oooooooooooooooh yeh can peel an orange in his pockt that lad, NEVER!! sells anythging, remember when he was out of work for about three years really on his arse, as most of us would have sold our records, not ronnie he got by with as joe cocker said A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS TOP GUY!!

he aint daft nev, but he`s had these ten records just sat in a wardrobe for years dosn`t collect, the problem with him is the more people show intrest the more reluctant he is to sell em, cost me about four pints last night

Cheers trev, allways thought this was hard one myself, a lad i know who has a handful of records that he`s kept since the late seventies has one, i was asking him about them last night, he`s got oneand told me to make him an offer of course i tried the old £10 trick but he knows what it is, might be worth throwing some money at it, would be a keeper, nice item, only ever seen pedleys

They keep coming back i used to think the SOUL CLASSIC ESKO AFFAIR-SALT & PEPPER, WAS SUMMER MADNESS

Any of you kind people give me a realistic valuation on JOE HICKS-DON`T IT MAKE YOU FEEL FUNKY BW I GOTTA BE FREE-AGC0002 THANKS IN ADVANCE
