an incredibly bleak half hour


there's a fabulous bit of old telly about the wigan casino over at watchification
go and watch it then pop back over here for a bit of a dance to cheer yourselves up.(if you can tear yourself away from the other gems on show round there)


you'll find the first tune 'turning my heartbeat up' by the mvps over at planet mondo

judy street - what

and the last three numbers they played every saturday

tobi legend - time will pass you by

jimmy radcliffe - long after tonight is all over


dean parrish - i'm on my way

you can go and have a little cry now.

That 30 minute show says more about the seventies than the whole of 'Life On Mars' series.

Thanks for the Shout Ally - this is my number one Northern Soul stomper of all time. (Magic Touch by the Bobby Fuller Four is close behind)

What by Judy Street is a big fav of mine. My copy is old scratchy and virtually unplayable now, It was a big Brucie bonus finding here.

Cheers Ally x

Wigan looks even more like this now than it did then.

The weird thing is I already had it but you putting it up here has made me rediscover it, for which I thank you most heartily.

I'm going to get off my lazy arse too, but only when I've cracked your pesky quiz x
