As I emigrated to Canada in 1965 aged 19, I never really knew the Casino but heard all about it over the years.

Wigan Casino was not only northern soul , when it was Known as the "EMP"/ Casino most met their wives and husbands ( to be ) in there , it was thriving before NS came to the notice of the music world .
NS took it in a different direction , but it did have a life before NS.
Everyone I knew of my age group went to the Casio every week .
