The Northern Soul Collection

David Barrow’s portfolio of work and vision of Northern Soul culture has won him worldwide acclaim. Likened to Dickens with the London times and like Lowry’s mill scenes, he has created a unique atmospheric vibe of then and now. Proclaimed by the Observer as the "Degas of Northern Soul".

 

Artist’s Statement

From the Northern Soul collection. It depicts record trading that took place inside and outside the Casino ... the record “Seven day lover” was selling in the lower level for 100’s of pounds but in the upstairs they were selling the exact same record that had been released for 65p

 

Russ Winstanley is a Wigan DJ who is best known for his championing of Northern Soul music. In 1973 he founded the famous Wigan Casino All-Nighters at which he was the original DJ. Over 4 million people passed through the venue until it closed in December 1981.

 

Dean Parrish is an American soul singer from New York, best known for the song, "I'm on My Way", which became famous for being the last record that was played at the last Northern Soul all-nighter at the Wigan Casino.

Seven day lover by David Barrow

  • David Barrow was born in 1959, in Parbold and spent his formative years there. Then moving to Wigan, he began painting seriously at the age of 19. Proud of his hometown, David’s work has developed in style over the years, yet remains consistently autobiographical and nostalgic. David has vividly captured Wigan and Parbold in a number of well-regarded oil paintings. They show the heritage of where he grew up and raised his own family. David’s paintings have been featured five times in the Summer exhibition at the Royal Academy, and he has also exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy of Fine Art.

Virtual Images - Where artworks are shown framed or within a room setting the images have been created using virtual/augmented reality software in some instances. The images are provided to give an idea of the scale of the artwork in the context of a room and the style of the framing. They should not be viewed as completely accurate e.g. the scale and the style/colours of the frame may vary slightly. 

An online gallery with an augmented reality option is very forward looking and very appealing to the buyer.

The picture arrived this afternoon, very well packed and in excellent condition. It is indeed a very fine picture.

The painting is received and is a really nice small study-like work...

Thank you very much for all your help.
