74/75 definitely the best time for me too. KTF betti-uk.com Wigan is best remembered for its dancers – those spinning youths throwing themselves around the dancefloor in 32-inch wide Spencers and vests adorned with the badges of their favourite ‘nighters’, slogans like ‘keep the faith’, ‘the heart of soul’ and ‘the night owl’. Among the dancers on the mighty floor of the Casino there was a pecking order. ‘We didn’t realise it at first,’ says Winstanley. ‘We’d see them dancing at the front and we’d think blooming heck we’ve got some of the best dancers in the world here, but what we hadn’t realised was that the better they got, the further they moved towards the stage where the DJs were.’ Me, my mate Kev, and my Mini, outside Wigan Casino in 1977. At the height of its popularity, the Wigan Casino had over 100,000 members. Indeed, by April 1975, Mike Walker temporarily suspended the membership because of complaints about overcrowding. The Saturday soul nights grew, and eventually, the club also featured regular evening soul sessions on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
