Moonlight Music and You : Wigan Casino Pushing Through The Doors
Overview
Northern Soul and specifically Wigan Casino are still regarded today as something that truly made a significant mark on the uk's musical history. Largely credited as a movement that began in northern England whose roots were heavily influenced by black American soul singers. This is a personal recollection of an era that moved in the shadows of popular culture during the seventies and seldom fell into the public domain unless highlighted for all the wrong reasons. Wigan Casino was a venue that created a subculture that was so diverse that it grew into legendary status without the need for todays commercial advantages. Today it is played to audiences world wide and it still retains it's own individualism along with a status that allows it to be truly recognised as a major contributor to the history of British music. This book will resonate with those people who took a similar journey into the long nights of Northern Soul while also striking a familiar chord with those who spent their youth surviving the many diverse and painful years of the seventies and eighties.
