A brief reminder of the GoldenTorch
Out of the 3 most influential venues of UK Nothern Soul music. The Torch had the briefest run lasting a mere 13 months. When it's entertainment licence was revoked local businessman owner Chris Burton didn't appeal against the decision. The reason I'm not certain of, so I won't assume it. You would have to ask mr Burton
for it. He is still active on the Northern Soul scene today. Even thou it had the shortest run. The impact The Torch had on Northern Soul history could be seen
as the most important. Paving the way for the unequalled success of Wigan Casino.
I never attended the Torch being 12 when it ran was just too young. But it must have
been a majical experience. So a tribute is rightly deserved the Tunstall club was
destroyed by fire. But it will live forever in Northern Soul history.
