Clifton Hall Rotherham March 26th 1982 part 2 

Bloody hell forgot just how far ahead of the rest the Clifton Hall was and us with it! Quality 60s beside 70s and new stuff just how it should be not head up your A##E only northern ,only modern, only house.

coudnt agree more .

i would have been still 17 at this time, this was the club that turned me onto rare soul music, i didn't know anything about the 60,s/ newies divide (it didn't appear to have one at Clifton Hall), all i knew is that i'd dance just to about anything played, i used to travel with two local lads both about 16/17 too, we then got the hunger for looking at and later collecting records (and yes back then as naive, young clueless fella's we picked up a few bootlegs, only to find out later ). It was just the start of the learning curve for me and i'm still learning now. Fantastic flashback, thanks for posting, i can see myself head down dancing to John/Weirdest or as i then knew it Spyder Turner.

How you keeping Brett,

nice to read the above posting of your account of one's early days - eh and your still feeding that hunger today. Clifton Hall was a good nighter for any young soul devotee's to cut one's teeth on . Like you say a fantastic flashback and great to hear a working, intergrated dancefloor, appreciating both types of sound. Clifton ran 12 "big full" hours 8pm to 8am - if one's memory is correct. Much appreciated....... .

Cheers

Nick.
