Got talking to some Scooter lads recently and this venue ( run by Chris Dalton)

came into the conversation, anyone on here go, have any memories of the place

you would like to share on this forgotten all niter?

Rick, fond memories of the 'niters at the Drill Hall in Lincoln - Chris booked me on several occasions in the late 70s.

Funniest memory, playing 'Prince' 'I wanna be your lover' at 7am to a northern crowd.

NEVER WENT ALTHOUGH I LIVE IN SLEAFORD ,SERVING IN THE R N PROBABLY PUT THE MOCKERS ON IT .THOUGH I DID READ IN A FANZINE,

WILL DIG IT OUT BUT I THINK IT WAS A NOTTS PUBLICATION THAT YOU GOT BANNED DAVE FOR PLAYING TOO MANY NEWIES

Sister Dawn to the red Courtesy phone...............

No good in the summer months when it got light early :-)

Steve Croft and after dark had it for a few, one place i'll never forget.

Went there once - 1980 I think . Richard Searling was the guest DJ & Mr Warot made a pig of himself on the real ale in a pub in the town centre before hand ....Its a good job we had some medicine handy to revive his flaging spirits .

Was the first time I had heard a lot of Richards latest modern tracks properly away from the casino . Had a cracking night so its got me scratching my head as to why I only went the once

Remember going at least once and maybe twice,as for anything else i dont recall.Gilly

Guy Hennigan and I did one or two dates there under the Soultown banner in the mid 80s. It was a great space with a fantastic floor, high ceilings and statues set in the walls. Sad to say, attendances was poor and we knocked it on the head. The funniest thing was turning up to view it and finding the masonic regalia laid out and ready for action!

All best

2nd home for me, never missed one, some great times and good memories x

Someone on here a fair while ago posted up some recordings from the nighter, I'm not sure who it was, but if anyone knows I would love to listen to them again

Hi Dawn, Very nice photographs, haven't got any of the drill hall doooo's but enjoyed them all the same,

Love and respect, Rick

I remember that night martyn, l got absolutely spannered on "NUN's HABBIT", a real and potent ale, thank goodness for the "medicine", l might

have been very ill had we forgotten to bring it along!! ALSO. . it was the night l got "ANYTHING I CAN DO" by Will Collins & Willpower on 'Bareback'

records (demo) for £15 off jonathon woodcliffe. As usual we had to stop Bev Lucas from knocking 7 bells out of an innocent victim of bev's

lust for skinhead supremacy, but we had aght good night regardless although the journey across the vast county of Lincolnshire was frought with

difficulty in navigation. Oh yes, good times.

Went one Friday with Chris Plant, Dawn and Dave Shaw, Chris was a guest DJ. We asked a local for directions, he picked up a piece of wood and tried to hit the car,, what a start. When we were inside it was freezing and nobody had any fags, until during the night some enterprising locals went out and robbed some!!

It want down as a night to be talked about as one of those memorable for the wrong reasons, but still unforgettable, may have been the same night my old mate Mr Warrot was there, was around that time

Looking forward to the Reunion June 2016.

I went to the nighters there including the first one, remembering hearing about the death of Nev Wherry there , 

also remember the "Prison Like" front door !

It had quite a few skylights in which were ok in the winter but not so good for the summer.
