Chalky Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Some great times there, fab soul night. Used to run mini bus from Chesterfield for a while too. First place outside of Chesterfield I Dj'ed at. One of the funniest moments was when the two old dears behind the bar (forget their names but they were great) threw Pete Lawson out for some misdemeanour Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Byrney Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Had some great night's there at Rob's doos. Even though I got a proper bollocking of that awld polish bloke who used to own it for putting out flyers for the Ripley Soul nights. Which never clashed and with the permission of Rob I also had some amazing nights there when it became the Venue: the first home of Geoff Oak's Renaisance House nighters with the Likes of Frankie Knuckles guesting. Saw Gwen McCrea doing a live PA there too Is that Hell's Angels club house still round the back? Moody place that. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Mart B Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Just drove by, the old place is flat as a pancake now! Great memories:) Great memories indeed,the time we used to get in there though mate we missed all of Rob & jims big tunes. Great guest djs at the trotters Gary Rushbrooke Richard Searling,,Soul Sam? ..Rob Wigley..Guy Hennighan Rob Smith..This was between 1983-1991 when the scene was suppose to be dead:no: . I cant beleive how quickly that Trotters has been knocked down when you consider the old Mansfield general hospital is still standing derelict after all these years..

I vaguely remember "Trotters" from a mod night (or it might have been a soul night with mods there) about 86/87 ? but I certainly remember Renaissance listening to FK, Sasha, John Digweed & many more. Can't remember who I saw there Brilliant place both as Trotters & Venue 44 Edited October 26, 2010 by Alison H Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Chalky Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 here's me and a few others from Chesterfield in Sept. 1987 in Mansfield in I think Trotters. Nige Parker ready to fall through the bar (Del boy style)..you can just see Gary Churm's eyes peeking over (I think) Graham Manlove's shoulder....
