Already half demolished,PD's thread reminded me to post this up.Rob Marriots old stomping ground.

Watch out for the dancefloor for sale - 12" planks on ebay. .

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

Mr.Lawson----getting thrown out of a venue!!!!! never?

T.C

I can still see Pete now trudging off down the stairs looking over his shoulder every other step and we were all wetting ourselves.

Just drove by, the old place is flat as a pancake now!

Great memories:)

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.

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

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....

Sorry if anyone wanted a piece of the dancefloor:D ,its all been sold off. . I asked at the site last week.

Its now looking very much like a car park. .
