What's on in Wigan
EXHIBITION
I visited The Museum Wigan Life during the week and I was astounded at the current exhibition , it's truly a wonderful experience, the work that's gone into the project is amazing .Ms Joan Livsey and her staff deserve great credit.
One of the many exhibits among over 600 that grabbed my attention was a Hand Washing Machine ,a blast from the past .Most people will never have seen one or even known of their existence , but this would have been state of the art for many households light by gas. There are so many items that bring memories flooding back !
I can fully recommend a visit to readers,I promise you won't be disappointed. It would educational for children. Parents and grandparents would enjoy seeing the artefacts through their young eyes. The staff are always available and willing to answer any questions .
In case people are unaware of its location ,The Museum is , it's housed in the old library at at bottom of Library Street .

A Band Called Malice - The Definitive tribute to The Jam
A Band Called Malice - The UK’s favourite and most authentic tribute to ‘The Jam’ continue to take venues by storm as they cement their position as the number one choice for devoted fans of The Jam.
The talented musicians are the real deal and guarantee to take you back to ‘When You’re Young’ with their performances that give the same high energy, angst, aggression, passion and soul of their idols!
The high quality of their shows was rewarded with them being selected as finalists in the National Tribute Awards and they have also been awarded a tour with the O2 Academy network.
They not only play the hits of Weller and co. but include B sides and album tracks rarely performed by other Jam tribute bands – Jam fans won’t be disappointed. So - if you are ‘In the City’, find yourself in a ‘Strange Town’, are ‘Going Underground’ or are simply ‘A Boy about Town’ - you have to see A Band Called Malice whether you either loved The Jam or if you just want the exhilarating joy of a classic gig.
