It's 45 years since Wigan Casino had it's start
Building's long gone but it still has a heart
Touring world venues origins as a whole
Strong beats the heart of Northern Soul
Soulies clothing identifies acts as a uniform
Distinguishes them from the rank and file
In colder months doesn't keep them warm
Dancing into the early hours to end up in a pile
The unsung heroes from Detroit Soul
Found a place of homage at Wigan Casino
Gave youth dedication and ambition goal
To return each week and gather on the lino
The hardy souls of the pilgrimage to Detroit
Forges a lasting friendship carried the message
Their songs are still met with many feet adroit
The tracks still fresh today not just a vestige
It's 45 years since Wigan Casino had it's start
Building's long gone but it still has a heart
Touring world venues origins as a whole
Strong beats the heart of Northern Soul
Strong beats the heart of Northern Soul
Strong beats the heart of Northern Soul
Strong beats the heart of Northern Soul
