More sad/bad news for the Northern Soul scene. After the loss of
Wigan Casino Mr. M's DJ Steve Whittle last November (who also wrote a
book "Inside Story Of Mr. M's") the scene mourns the loss of yet another character on the scene,
Dave Shaw, who authored "Casino" in 2000 published by Bee Cool. A Wigan Casino 30th anniversary edition was published in 2003.
The sad news was broken by DJ Ian 'Pep' Pereira last night
on Dave's facebook page. It seems Dave was admitted to hospital yesterday after feeling
unwell at the weekend and died in hospital aged 61/62.
After witnessing dancers on Top Of The Pops dancing to Wigan Chosen
Few's "Footsee", aged only 14, he was hooked and ventured to the
Casino by hitch hiking from Wolverhampton with a friend to the second
anniversary all-nighter in Sep 1975. The book "Casino" tells his
story.
His sudden loss has shocked the scene with condolences to
friends and family pouring in on facebook.
