The Wigan Casino Years documents, illustrates and analyses the golden age of Northern Soul from 1973-1981. In writing The Wigan Casino Years author Tim Brown has drawn upon personal experiences and memories from the period as well as conducting significant research to create an accurate account of Northern Soul's most important era.

Artist: Northern Soul
Title: Book
Label: Virgin EX
Late 1960s Northern Britain. Black American Soul music collides with discontented youth to create a combustible new subculture - Northern Soul. DJs unleash astounding record discoveries to young ears, hinting at a life beyond the grim reality of northern cities in the grip of post-industrial collapse. Uptempo, uptown music captures the imaginations and bodies of northern youth. New dance styles emerge. Clubs become destinations. Records become legends. Amphetamine fuels marathon allnighters, which in turn become the ultimate outlet for self-expression and release. This was a life which was different to that mapped out for previous generations. A life beyond mere existence: fun, colourful, passionate. This was Northern Soul.
