Guest Bogue Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Just nighters...not soul nights? That becomes a bit of a hard one because my first would have been the casino on a Saturday night about 12/18months before it shut....& to be honest most of the stuff played would have been unknown to me then. My vague memories were of it being modern dominated....but I know it has been noted since that a few of the later Stafford plays would have surfaced around that time. I can remember enjoying Garry Rushbrooke in particular...so perhaps there might have been some in his stuff? 3 records that stand out to me for the simple reason I remember them being played by more than one dj on the night...though i'm sure people could argue there may have been bigger records are :- 1. Majestics - (I Love Her So Much) It Hurts Me 2. Omni - Keys To The City (remember that getting really hammered & I hated it!) 3.

Tony Galla and Freddie Houston were played circa mid-80's whilst the others had been around quite some time by then - Jerry Williams was massive when I was a lad (so I'm told) and Freddie Chavez was already big when I started going in 76...

grantdyche Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Long time ago not sure if I heard these on my first visit to The Casino,But they just come to mind really vividly, Were they massive tunes or just ones that I liked ?? Frankie Beverly --- If That's What You Wanted Garnet Mimms --- Looking For You Dena Barnes --- If You Ever Walk Out Of My Life (also really liked "These Heartaches") The Salvadors --- Stick By Me Baby The one sound that get's me thinking about it now is The Superlatives --- "I Still Love You", Far too fast to dance to nowadays(Except in the kitchen),But back in the day !!

(first went to Wigan early 1980) Living In Brum, Omni was huge at the Locarno alldayers, and got to admit I did love it and bought the pressing with velvet hammer on the flip !!! George Benson 'On Broadway' was up there too...that even crossed over into the mainstream clubs at the time too if I remember?...certainly did round here anyhow Oh god yes...& of course Velvet Hammer...that was around the same time too wasn't it so that would probably have been up there aswell. I can also remember venturing into M's & George Benson's 'Supership' was having a bit of a revival in there!....James Brown's 'Night Train' was too! Yeah...I can remember Omni being really massive...but not seen it mentioned much on here or in many lists ...remember going to Notts Palais a few weeks later & it must have been on 4 or 5 times during the day....packing the floor every time! Apart from a few tunes like Gloria Jones, Al Wilson, Dobbie Gray & the like around 75/76....My really getting into Northern itself would have been probably more in line with Mick Howard's above list though...78/79ish at the Grandstand in Worcester ...although I would probably substitute Bernie Williams for something like Sue Lynn, Bobby Diamond, Shane Martin or the Poppies...as Bernie would have been too rare. But I didn't venture to a nighter untill that night, which I reckon you would be right in saying around 1980 Ah the memories Edited September 16, 2010 by Bogue Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
