Bit of respite from our miserable league campaign on BBC2 tonight at 7:45 (also available on BBC Sounds).
Nearly two hours of some legendary Northern sides including the classic "Three before Eight" played at the end of the all-nighters at Wigan Casino.
Apart from the aforementioned Tobi Legend, Jimmy Radcliffe and Dean Parrish tracks, there are great covers of some absolute gems by Yvonne Baker, Sandy Sheldon, Dobie Gray and the MVPs. And some fine support by the BBC Concert Orchestra when required - "Sliced Tomatoes" by the Just Brothers given due respect.
So, lift the carpet and get your sprung wooden floor on show. Break out the talcum powder and the Ben Sherman shirt or Gabicci polo and enjoy :greengrin
