The
thirteenth edition of YHO had on its front cover out a still of dancers out on
the floor at Wigan Casino in its heyday.
It was taken from a lovely old This
England documentary for Grenada TV directed by Tony Palmer, which has more
recently been issued on DVD. This issue
was a special commemorative one put together to accompany a rare live recording
of Vic Godard & Subway Sect performing their Northern Soul set at the Music
Machine, supporting Siouxsie and the Banshees, in March 1980. Vic kindly gave permission to make the tape
available via the YHO site, and has subsequently started to revisit some of
these songs. It seemed like a good idea
to put a small booklet together to go with the download. The title, of course, is a line from the song
Holiday Hymn.
Among
those putting in guest appearances are:

Alan Horne

Johnny Britton
