Last Train to Wigan Edinburgh Festival Play
"You're here today and you're gone tomorrow" - Dean Parrish, 1967.
From The Mecca to Va Va's, The Twisted Wheel to The Golden Torch, and finally The Wigan Casino Club. Taking the audience on a journey to the Northern Soul nightclubs of the mid 70s, Last Train to Wigan is a tale of minimum wage romance, amphetamine fuelled all-nighters, talc covered dance floors and rare imported vinyls. Forget glam rock, prog rock, Donny Osmond and David Cassidy. This is the stomping sound of Northern Soul. When middle aged Mike Walker finds his box of 7" records in the attic, it brings back memories of the two great loves of his life - Stef Meadows and the Casino Club.
A play about the redemptive power of music and of growing up, told at a pace that echoes the exuberance of the scene and the BPM of a Ric Tic record
With its original footage and stomping soundtrack all you need to enjoy this story of friendship, love and music is a bit of soul.
Soco Buildings, Chambers Street Edinburgh.
