Some really nice sounds from 1996 to 1999 with Ady, Butch, Clarkie, Mick Smith etc.

Yes, it was above a boozer - just opposite Euston Station. It wasn't a 100 Club warm up, though. It used to take place on a Friday night, if I remember correctly. Offshoot of the all nighters at the Unicorn Club in Leighton Buzzard, I think. More like 25 years ago. OMG. Where does the time go?

That sounds like it could have been moi...................

I don't think Clarkie was playing there as late as 1996. The first time I went was 1997 and wasn't part of the team then. The two warm up do's I remember were Devil's Den in a pun behind Selridges run by Terry and Ivor Jones and The Water rats by Kings Cross - both excellent events in their own right. The 100 Club was playing some great stuff then too - unreleased RCA, Ben E. King plus well chosen oldies.

Was round at mates on monday night (Vince Ayres) and he dug a cassette out of him dj'ing at 100 club back in the 80's.Some great tunes on there Vince.One of which was too fast to dance to back then.

I have about 8 tapes from this era. See if you can identify who the DJ was on the below from 1990.

"You Need Love"

"I Don't Wanna Cry No More" Dave Charles (before I knew the real title!)

"The Harlem Tremble" Frank Foster (with the dj saying this was the first time playing it out)

"You'll Always Be In Style" Patti Austin

etc etc

Later on I switch the tape off and put it back on at the 100 Club (this is 1990.... ) and there is

Yuan Williams (or Wang Williams) with the Mailbox cover up...

Its great stuff - I'm loving listening to it again!

Recording it all onto i tunes on my pc.

It you want copies let me know, its no problem.

Ian

That sounds like it could have been moi...................

Russ

On the James Brown - (you) or whoever ask the crowd to "give it a chance" ........

Either cos of it's slow start.........or perhaps you didnt trust your judgement.......

I play this one out all the time by the way as a result of hearing it then!

Nah I think he's gone by then.

Cheers Mike, I'll give this a go later today!

On one of the tapes at the 100 Club the DJ stops the music and asks if there is a Dr in the house and says its no joke

can a Dr get to the top of the stairs......

Then plays "Baby I'm Yours" . think its unreleased? Very good!

Yep, thats me...........can I get a copy please............BTW I trust my judgement, but you have to understand back then at the 100 Club these were risky plays & not well known at the time.

Sounds like Shifty, maybe a little too early for him tho', altho he did end up with the Patti Austin, think Dean Anderson owned it before Shifty (?) so maybe Dean...........& Juan Williams was not a cover up..........played by Ady at the 100 Club occasionally years before it got real recognition.

As an aside, the PA was an acetate & wasnt credited, so might not be her anyway, if my memory serves me right ?.

Russ, it sounds more like Rob Marriott from the list Ian gave.

Jon Buck used to run nights there but so did others among them Rob Messer or so I've been told. I was taking a break at that point

The pub is still there & now owned by Oneils but is opposite St Pancras not Euston which is further up the road . The upstairs room was turned into a fringe theatre after Drummonds before reverting to it's previous use as a function room & we used it for Solid Hit for about 18 months. Was a brilliant venue until some arse decided to cover the stage with carpet, install 3 massive booths that you kinda lean against, stuck a couple of columns on the dance floor & brought in a stack of tables & chairs & called it a restaurant. Basically it became a grotty souless room where you could buy food from the downstairs menu & nobody bothered to go to. I've popped in a few times since & the most that have been enjoying the dining experience sat in front of a giant tv screen has been 3 people.....what a waste

Yes It was definately Rob, He had the Kell Osbourne Inst C/U as Harlem Tremble.

I played Dave Charles 1st at 100 Club in 1987/88

Ady played Juan Williams C/U as Richard Temple "A Letter From You"

Cheers Mike, I'll give this a go later today!

Hi Mike,

Just discovered that one C60 side of a cassette from Drummonds is 36mb

Would I be able to upload that or shall I split it down ?

Regards

Ian

36 wont go at moment Ian

36 mb seems a bit big for 30 mins

maybe be quicker if you reencode it ?

I stand corrected guys, altho Shifty ended up with the PA Acetate.

Russ

Nah I think he's gone by then.

I can vaguely remember Clarky turning up quite late one night, He was really pissed off as there was nowhere for him to put out his sales boxes. He was still DJing at the time but gave up soon afterwards - i honestly think that night helped make up his mind to stop DJing at the 100 Club.

Can't remember the year but it must have been very early 90s.

On the latest tape I've just copied Butch dedicates The Temptones c/u to him...

looking forward to hearing these tapes Ian. Have you put them to cd? If so any chance of a copy?. I'll have to get mine from 80's out of the garage and get them up here. I did some copies for Ady when he was doing 100 Club for Kent or some similar project, Ian Clark spinning Bobby Rich last record I remember form them.

Russ

You sure? I though it went to Butch, know he still has it. There are couple of others

Think Butch got it when Shifty sold a few, I'll check & get back to ya.

Russ

Ok mate, just spoke to Allen...........he sold it to Carl F, not sure what happened to it after that, but from what you say can only assume Butch has it now ? & yes, it was an uncredited acetate, so the Patti Austin title is for play purposes.

Best Russ

You sure? I though it went to Butch, know he still has it. There are couple of others

I've got one of these, 10" totally blank, that I assume someone had just cut off the original acetate? Got it in maybe 96/97, can't remember who off tho...

Story please, oh wise ones!

Might be in these tapes then

Oh my God! That's my arse! I can prove it too as I just showed it (the flyer) to my girlfriend and she immediately recognised it (my arse). In the background is Ion the Greek and his unmistakable lean-back dance style!

Always went to Drummonds back then and I remember that flyer - probably still have it somewhere!

Arse is bigger nowadays unfortunately! LOL!
