Once Upon a Time in Wigan, Vol. II
Once Upon a Time in Wigan, Vol. II
Editorial Reviews
Product Description
The Wigan Casino was the heart of soul, the finest place in all the world. From 1973 to 1981 there were weekly all-nighters consisting of eight saturated hours of pure beauty, pure rhythm, pure soul! 60s and 70s masterpieces belted out in an old music hall mixed with the sweat, adrenaline, talcum powder and any other assistance the devoted northern soul dancer could summon up to keep him or her whirling round the floor for hours on end. Once Upon A Time In Wigan Volume 2 is a loving celebration of what it was like to actually be there! From the queue to get in, the charge up the stairs, the record bar and the bogs; yes the legendary bogs! Bathed in wit and pathos, but most of all in priceless Northern Soul classics; the show charts the birth of modern all night rave and dance culture, the death of old industries, the old certainties and in the end the death of Wigan Casino itself. A time to come of age and face up to the real world Mrs. Thatcher.
