I'm sure the likes of James, Echo and the Bunnymen, Charlatans, the Doves, the Coral could be enticed. All local, not stadium fillers but big enough to get people interested.

I’ve seen The Kinks, Roy Orbison, Stevie Wonder and others at the Ritz Cinema and Lulu and Manfredi Mann at the Casino. Oh, yes, and Julian and the Trolls at the Room at the Top.
Those were the days! But I’ve never seen Mary Hopkins.

Test the water with the up and coming Wigan band ‘The Lathums’. They’re bloody brilliant and it would be a huge step up for them on their way to the top

Just had a listen to them and thought they sounded like another generic mancunian style band, IMO, But I do agree with giving them a step up on their way, Maybe the club could put on a night where they have them and 2 or 3 local bands playing

Each to their own, try ‘The Great Escape’ (the song by The Lathums, not the film ).

They are getting some building local support, and a little plug or push from us would go far IMO and may even attract new fans
