Soulvation's 'Out on the Floor' with Russ Winstanley
Soulvation’s “Out On The Floor” event returns to to the Hare & Hounds on Friday January 23 for what promises to be a cracking night of Vintage Northern Soul.
Joining residents Neil Rushton, Clive Jones and Lil’ Scotty is the legendary Russ Winstanley. Way back in 1973 Russ persuaded a originally reluctant night club owner to try a Northern Soul All-Nighter at his venue. Nobody knew quite to expect, but the result was Wigan Casino, Northern Soul’s very own super club which ran from 1973 until 1981. And a very happy club owner.
Russ DJ’d at the “Heart Of Soul” for the whole of the period and is the veteran of an incredible 546 All-Nighters at the Casino. He is is now behind the hugely popuar annual Northern Soul weekender at Butlin’s in Skegness which attracts over 6,000 followers and is busy as ever DJ’ing all over the UK and the rest of the World.
The in-vogue film “Northern Soul” is centred around Wigan Casino and Russ has become synonomous with the venue, so all is set a
night of nostalgia and Casino Classics from the man behind Northern Soul’s most iconic All-Nighter. Advanced £5 tickets are on sale now, you can find them here.
