Think there's a cafe on the site now, Jaysay. We were discussing it a while back.

http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/f...gan-33019.html (Casino Cafe, Wigan.)

Wouldn't mind having a look.

Have just had a good look at the link above Wynonie, I like the look of he Wigan Casino Roadshow in Wales back end of June, if my health was a bit better I think I'd have had a try for that. The Gallery of oil paintings sure brought back happy memories, its good just to read about the old northern soulers and he fact that there is still so much interest in the music

When I was about 8 or 9 in the 1980s there was a craze for wearing neon socks. I had luminous green, orange and pink ones!

Wouldn't wear those now.

Late '70's and Hollins - Bottle Green 8 pockets with a 3" waistband,tight shirt and red Gibson shoes - OMG we were cool.

Talking 'bout Wigan. Go and see a theatre production called "Once upon a time in Wigan" if you get chance. I saw it at the Lowry last year and it brought the memories flooding back.
PS Never actually made it to Wigan Casino, I had to make do with The Golden Palms (Blackburn Mecca) on Sunday Nights.

It wouldn't be bad if the BBC did a docu on one of these gigs, for say BBC 3 or 4
