Replies to the above.
1. How long have you been together as a band?
We have been rehearsing for around 18-24 months. In that time we have had a Trumpet, Sax and Drummer leave. Graham Atwood left due to a heart problem which was a shame, but the others left mainly because of the time involved to get the set ready as there is no sheet music available for these songs as they are mostly obscure 60’s American soul. This music made its way to this side of the pond, and played to packed Northern Soul venues up and down the country since the early seventies.
2. How can we book your band?
You can send an enquiry to the management team. To contact please contact via email at kidd22@live.co.uk or mobile phone 07810744695 or contact me Paul Kidd direct 0161 480 3843
3. What is your cost when booking the band?
This depends on location, Weekend / Mid week and type of venue. Etc
4. How far would you travel to a gig?
We will go anywhere with enough notice, and obviously our expenses would be added should we have to stay over in a hotel etc.
5. Can, you supply a Northern Soul DJ for before after and in between your set?
Yes we can we have mates with decks etc. cost would be given on enquiry.
6. Who came up with the name The Casino Allstars.
We messed around for a while with different names Mr M’s was in the running but Brian & Alan pushed for the Casino Allstars due to the fact most of our set comes from the Wigan Casino era. So that’s the name.
7. What is the band looking to do in the future?
Mainly playing as much as possible around the UK and Europe, the dream would come true if we ever toured the US, giving them back some of the enjoyment they have given us over the years. We are a good bunch of guy’s who just love to get out there and play. We are in no doubt that anything that may come our way such as TV etc would be incredible.
8. Where are you next appearing live,
Check out our events calendar on the home page. It’s updated every week.
9. I am having trouble joining your web members list
The trouble is most people receive our automatic reply in their junk mail. Is due to the fact it contains the word Casino. If you’re still having trouble then contact Paul at kidd22@live .co.uk and we will sort the problem out.
10.I can't Download your songs
Everyone should be able to listen to the track (our latest music) on the main page. Other than that you would have to become a member to receive other music for free.
11. I want to start my own member’s gallery but how.
Our gallery has been made easier for everyone, just log in and start your gallery. Just remember to compress your photos to web size before you upload. This is easy as you can alter your pictures on your computer in Microsoft Picture, just adjust them by going in to the edit picture settings. Edit them down to size press OK and upload to your gallery.
12. Who is the bands leader?
There is not a leader as such; we share the responsibility between us all.
13. Would you play in Europe?
Yes indeed, in fact is we are going to Europe next year so keep an eye on the events section.
