    Amazing music and a great following. Extremely sad that it had to come to an end. What happened to the Casino? Was it demolished?

    I’m only 28 so I was only 1 when it closed down, its not my music taste (Metal anyone? hehe) but I know when something is major, and it makes me proud to know something as big as this was in Wigan… to people thats not been back since it closed do you know theres a section dedicated to the Casino and northern soul in the new shopping mall in wigan! so go back there and look at the patches and posters! Stay cool you crazy diamonds (sorry I’m not sure of the lingo HAHA)
