Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2MKF7H1 - The Wigan Casino was a nightclub in Wigan, England. Operating between 1973 and 1981, it became known as a primary venue for Northern soul music. It carried forward the legacy created by clubs such as the Twisted Wheel in Manchester, the Chateau Impney (Droitwich), the Catacombs (Wolverhampton) and the Golden Torch (Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent). It remains one of the most famous clubs in Northern England. In 1978, allegedly the American music magazine Billboard voted Wigan Casino The Best Disco in the World, ahead of New York City's Studio 54. Although there is no tangible evidence of this award ever being publicised.
This England, a TV documentary about the Wigan Casino, was filmed in 1977. Russ Winstanley and Dave Nowell wrote a history of the club, Soul Survivors, The Wigan Casino Story, which was published in 1996.
Wigan Casino was the name of the last incarnation of a Wigan ballroom called the Empress. Local DJs Brian Rigby and Alan Cain approached lease owner Gerry Marshall to run all-nighters. Venue manager Mike Walker brought in Russ Winstanley, who had a DJ set at the local rugby club, to the Casino. At 2 am on Sunday 23 September 1973, Wigan Casino started its first-ever Northern soul all-nighter, with Winstanley as the DJ. After Winstanley and his helper Ian Fishwick, Kev Roberts was the third DJ at Casino all-nighters, who was quickly joined by Richard Searling Soul performers that performed there include Jackie Wilson, Edwin Starr and Junior Walker.
Young people from all over the UK regularly attended Wigan Casino to hear the latest northern soul artists and to dance. There were long queues to get in. The second dance floor, Mr M's, stayed open until 6 am and played oldies songs from a variety of DJs including Dave Evison and Steve Whittle. All-nighters generally ended with three songs that became known as the '3 before 8': Time Will Pass You By by Tobi Legend, Long After Tonight Is All Over by Jimmy Radcliffe, and I'm on My Way by Dean Parrish.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2DGA760 - Strawberry Fields is a 2.5-acre (1.0 ha) landscaped section in New York City's Central Park, designed by the landscape architect Bruce Kelly, that is dedicated to the memory of former Beatles member John Lennon. It is named after the Beatles' song Strawberry Fields Forever, written by Lennon. The song itself is named for the former Strawberry Field children's home in Liverpool, England, located near Lennon's childhood home
In April 1981, after John Lennon was murdered, a patch of land in Central Park near the Dakota was named Strawberry Fields in Lennon's honor. That August, it was announced that Strawberry Fields would be completely renovated and landscaped, since at the time, Strawberry Fields was located in an isolated median between West Drive and two slip roads of 72nd Street. Yoko Ono requested that the rebuilt memorial be a living memorial rather than a statue
according to NYC Parks landscape architect Arne Abramowitz, Ono believed that there are enough statues in Central Park.
The memorial was designed by Bruce Kelly, the chief landscape architect for the Central Park Conservancy. Construction on the project started in April 1984. Strawberry Fields was dedicated on what would have been Lennon's 45th birthday, October 9, 1985, by Ono and mayor Ed Koch.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy ETRXBT - In the United Kingdom, prostitution itself (the exchange of sexual services for money) is legal but a number of related activities, including soliciting in a public place, kerb crawling, owning or managing a brothel, pimping and pandering, are crimes.
It is illegal to buy sex from a person younger than 18, although the age of consent for non-commercial sex is 16.
In Edinburgh, estimates from Scot-Pep suggest there are about 700 indoor sex workers “ 200 in saunas, 350 independent escorts and 150 agency escorts as well as 80-100 women on the streets over a year.
33 women were arrested for soliciting in Edinburgh in 2010-11, and 21 the following year. Most of these arrest happen at the street and police mostly targets mostly the streetwalkers.
Prostitutes and Sex Workers
Edinburgh is well known for massage and sauna venues where you can find some girls for half an hour or an hour. Over the past years many sauna venues have been closed, but some still stay open, while more massage salons keep opening. Street prostitution is still active in Edinburg, but not nearly as common as in the past, because most streetwalkers have moved indoor and started working as an independent escorts.

The sauna and massage parlours of Edinburgh function, in an unofficial way, as licensed bordellos. Punters here do not come just for a massage. They want, for the most part, some kind of sexual services.

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
Me and the Gang Of Four go way back to listening to the late great John Peel 10pm til midnight 1978. They were the thinking mans punk band, playing politically motivated rock &
dub, gloriously mixed up.
The Gang's debut single, 'Damaged Goods' backed with '(Love Like) Anthrax' and 'Armalite Rifle', was recorded in June 1978 and released on 10 December 1978, on Edinburgh's Fast Product label. I still have one in my loft.
It was produced by the Gang of Four and Bob Last and Tim Inman. It was a Number 1 indie chart hit and John Peel radio show favourite. This led to two Peel radio sessions, which, with their incendiary live performances, propelled the band to international attention and sold-out shows across Europe and North America. They were then signed by EMI records.
The group's debut single with this label, 'At Home He's a Tourist', charted in 1979. Invited to appear on top rated BBC music program Top of the Pops, the band walked off the show when the BBC told them that they must sing 'packets' instead of 'rubbers' as per the lyrics of the song, as the original was too subversive for this TV slot. The single was then banned by BBC Radio and TV, which lost the band support at EMI, who began to push another band, Duran Duran, instead. A later single, 'I Love a Man in a Uniform', was banned by the BBC during the Falklands War in 1982.
Fast forward 30 years &
Britain is again in the grip of coalition government &
flaccid opposition. The perfect time to re-emerge.
In January 2011, the band released a new album, Content, which was very well received. Andrew Perry, writing in Britain's Telegraph newspaper, gave it (21 January 2011) a 5-star rating and said that it was 'their best record since the Seventies', an opinion with which I agree.
Jon Pareles, awarding the album 4 stars in a New York Times review of 25 January 2011, declared that [the band] 'have reclaimed, with a vengeance, their old attack', Dan Wilcox of KCRW (17 January 2011) said [of Content]: 'Entertaining, scintillating and dangerous, the band has lost none of its explosive edge over the years.'
In his Pitchfork review of the album, January 26, 2011 Stuart Berman wrote 'If Gang of Four's 2005 reformation proved they could more than hold their own against the upstarts, then Content shows that their chief concerns \u2013 the financial and psychological toll of keeping up with the Joneses \u2013 resonate all the more loudly in an Internet-accelerated era where even those on the vanguard can feel behind the times, and where the lawless, anonymous nature of online exchange threatens to overwhelm our identities. It's thus fitting that the album's most exuberant moment \u2013 the muscular Motown stomp 'Who Am I?' \u2013 is used to soundtrack a modern-day anarchist's existential crisis: 'You can't steal when everything is free'.
'Content' was one of my fave 3 albums of that year, gave me better time-travel than a tardis!

You can discover the salacious scandals of the 7th Earl of Stamford, who married Catherine Cocks, a former bare-back circus rider, and the 2nd Earl of Warrington, so enamoured with his wife that he wrote anonymously on the desirability of divorce. These, and other fascinating stories, are waiting to be uncovered in this treasure-packed house.
Dunham Massey has one of the north's great gardens, including Britain's largest winter garden and our spectacular new rose garden opens in late spring.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K7NBKW - The White Rose of York (Latinised as rosa alba, blazoned as a rose argent) is a white heraldic rose which was adopted in the 14th century as a heraldic badge of the royal House of York. In modern times it is used more broadly as a symbol of Yorkshire.
The symbolism of the white rose has religious connotations as (like the white lily) it represents the purity of the Virgin Mary, one of whose many titles in the Roman Catholic faith is the Mystical Rose of Heaven. In Christian liturgical iconography white is the symbol of light, typifying innocence, purity, joy and glory.
The white rose was first adopted as a heraldic badge by Edmund of Langley, 1st Duke of York (1341“1402), the fourth surviving son of King Edward III of England. One of his elder brothers, John of Gaunt, 1st Duke of Lancaster (1340“1399) adopted a red rose as a heraldic badge, the red rose of Lancaster. Their respective descendants fought for control of the throne of England during several decades of civil warfare, which became known as the Wars of the Roses, after the badges of the two competing cadet royal houses.
The Tudor Rose of England
The Wars of the Roses were ended by King Henry VII of England who, upon marrying Elizabeth of York, symbolically but not politically, united the White and Red Roses to create the Tudor Rose, the symbol of the English Monarchy. In the late 17th century the Jacobites took up the White Rose of York as their emblem, celebrating White Rose Day on 10 June, the anniversary of the birth of The Old Pretender in 1688
In heraldry The Rose of York is blazoned as A rose argent barbed and seeded proper (a white rose with sepals and seeds in their natural colours). According to the College of Heralds, the heraldic rose may be used with either a petal at the top or if slightly rotated with a sepal at the top. Traditionally the rose is displayed with a petal at the top in the North Riding and West Riding but with a sepal at the top in the East Riding of Yorkshire
