Twisted Wheel

Here we are again !

As the Beatles and Rolling Stones jostled for best band, two clubs, one in London and one in Manchester, jostled for best Club. The Flamingo and Twisted Wheel. In reality there was no true rivalry. As with the bands, the Wheel and Mingo were part and parcel of the same scene. The difference being that as Funk emerged, the London scene embraced it as forward, while in Manchester it did not, instead broadening it’s musical growth sideways. The foundation of the sound we now know as Northern Soul.
