Northern Soul began as a British club movement in the 1970s, taking off in places like Wigan and Blackpool and bringing young people together to dance to obscure mid-60s Motown-inspired Wigley joked that he and the other organisers only thought the Bridlington event would last for "three or four years" when it started in 2007."We never thought the weekender would grow to what it has become and the camaraderie from the Northern Soul community is unbelievable."We've all got one thing in common which is music. It opens doors and breaks down barriers."Mr Wigley said the choice of music on offer, in six different rooms, would give ticket holders the chance to "find something they'd like"."Some of the stuff is really rare and you might hear something that only exists on one or two records in the whole world. It's incredibly special." Mr Wigley said the art deco ballroom and sprung dancefloor at Bridlington Spa brought comparisons with the original Wigan Casino but "without the tobacco smells and sweat".He said: "I used to go to Wigan Casino every week or fortnight depending on if I could catch a bus or a train. It was really scruffy, virtually uninhabitable but it was an original ballroom just like Bridlington."People would travel from all over the country. It was packed, it was hot and it was sweaty but those nights were absolutely incredible."
