Think what it was to me was within a very short period of time from knowing relitavly nothing about northern soul music and the scene as a whole, indeed never reall stepping foot out of yorkshire, i was taken to this place that was the ultimate night out and from then on loved every minute of the place, after it shut it was very hard to find a place that gave me what wigan gave me, the clifton hall at rotherham gave me back a certain amount of this and was a great venue in its own right, but there was something about that place for me personally, and believe me over the years ive been to some great venues and met some of the best people ive met in my life, but i don`t think i could ever replace those nights, i am a great believer in moving on the scene and it will be with me forever, just those nights were so special to me, and the memories will live with me forever, remember this is only my opinion
