Recommended Posts

There were some fantastic tunes played at Allanton/ Shotts allnighters....it ran for about 4 and a half years from 87- 91 and created a lot of memories, the first few bars of many tunes that are still played today are enough to evoke some of the finest memories.....Ive posted up a couple that used to take the roof off !!....if you were there and can add to list please do...

Colin Law`s Willie G and the magical Rhythm Band c/u

Hayes Cotton - Black Wings Have my angel

Little Beaver C/u for Kitch and Dean, sure it was first spun here after their joint to trip to the states?

Joyce Kennedy I'm a good Girl

Lou Roberts? C/U for Kitch

What will be apparent is that like other nighters many of these tunes were played elsewhere e.g. Stafford, Blackburn, Casino etc but they took on a life of their own at Ruff Cutt.

Tony Clarke Wrong Man

Embers You Can Lump it (I know is the Seminoles below - same recording though).

Martha Starr. love is The Only Solution

Carol Anderson Taking my Mind Off Love

Ooh I like this, feeling melancholy today and this helps. Mr Byrne was right, most records did have some exposure elsewhere, some were massive elsewhere but generally we were like Magpies and picked those that hadn't yet made it and sounded right here. However some big not yet widely known records Allanton has to take credit for introducing such as Willie G and Mack Rice above, new c/u at Allanton, mostly Colin, and then there was this. Bumbling along, Chris Plant, Butch, Gary R all having tried it but not too much, than 7.25 at Allanton......
