WHENS THE NEXT SOUL NITE AT ALFRETON ?

I think some of the comments against this posting are a bit harsh. At the end of the day it was journalist doing what they do. With the slant they want. It was purely a journalistic exercise of a T.V. company that wanted to seem to understand something they didn't. I think it holds up better than, a lot of so called, documentaries produced today.
By theire very nature T.V. companies have an agenda and it will always be biased.
But, we are left with a place we went to,and if only for the fact it can take us back to our own memories of Wigan it crates its own justification.
For people who never went Wigan the venue has taken on this mythic role. It wasn't perfect. It was just a place to be with people who shared a passion for music.
