description: In the early hours of a September morning in 1973, a huge World War 1 building tentatively opened its doors to the cult followers of an underground dance scene. Little could the promoters realized the phenomenon they were creating...one that would put Wigan and its Casino on the map, not just in Britain but also in Europe and the US. For 8 years the Wigan Casino all-night Northern Soul sessions achieved fame, notoriety and eventually legendary status. Loved by each of its 100,000 members, it was voted the world's best disco by US-based magazine Billboard.
