Northern English industrial towns continue their invasion of popular culture. I've just heard of a somewhat bizarre situation last week, where hip-hop gangsta superstar 50 Cent, fresh from performing a gig at Manchester's MEN Arena decided to go lay down some tracks at a recording studio in Wigan! Now Wigan does have a proud musical heritage, being home to Northern Soul and the Wigan Casino in the 60s, but nowadays it's better known for its pork pies and pier, than world class gangsta rappers. Nevertheless, Fiddy and the G-Unit recorded 6 tracks at Red Cat Studios, and were "really down to earth, very friendly, very funny and loved their sweeties", according to manager Allan Murrell.
