Amazing, that sent shivers up my spine that did, especially the shots on the stairs, and was that Tommo from Leicester with no shirt on who looks into the camera? Looked like him.

Matt

Yes more people must have gone to Stafford than Wigan, but most of them must not have paid cuz I never saw them. Or they went on a night when I wasn't there

Hi Matt............that's not Tomo, take a closer look and think much closer to home

I have that Stafford thing on an unmarked VHS somewhere.................can I find it?? Not a chance...............but it is there somewhere!!!

I have lots of that stuff on VHS actually.................Leeds, Blackburn, Cleethorpes.......more too, but can't remember which. Always tried to tape these things when they cropped up..........think I got most of them along the way.

See you Saturday, all being well.

Cheers,

Stafford was the 1st niter I ever went to I really did go Amazing feeling walking in as TOTW emptied of the evening punters.

Nah me neither...would nt catch me sitting on the stairs

Love that clip of Pete...so many people were convinced that their interview would be used

and we didnt know till it went out.

i went to stafford for two years solid,brilliant era, will be talked about for years and years,remember dancing to guitar ray,i was the only one on the dancefloor,i loved every second of it

Nah me neither...would nt catch me sitting on the stairs

Anyone used to go in to the 'top of the grot' before the niter? Particularly remember 1985 Colonel Abrams - Trapped. Now there's a seperate thread, people actually born with strange names; General Johnson, Prince, Madonna, Colonel

Wow seein that again made me cry..

Always remember Pete watchin a video of that at my house and sayin

fu--in hell i look rough and me sayin bollocks you looked better than usual and

Pete replyin Cheeky fu--er i,m nicer lookin than you..What memories

Ah, but it was on the stairs that I heard Dave play Valarie Lamar - Shame (C/U Anne Sexton - Sneaking round corners). The last few stragglers were being removed from the main room, and a queue from the upstairs room had formed on the stairs.

How great did it sound? About the best any record sounded at the niter IMHO.

Yeah..me and my sis...the amount of nightclub johnnies who came onto us was unbelieveable!!!!...especially when we told them we go all night ...that's why we came up for the niter!!!!!! Delxx

Know how you feel Ian.. of course things get easier with time.. but just sometimes (like now) its like going back 14 years..

Respect my friend.

memories indeed, then off to Sandbach services for a full english breakfast of FAF on toast

Glad in either of the clips on here my bit was edited out ... that sounded bad ... was dancing to something but not the music on the clip so looked extra crap ... unless it was the tune and I didnt give two hoots

Is sad to see Pete though, what a waste

Got to ask

Whilst Pete is talking it cuts to three Guys on the stairs; one in a black top with light trousers having a drink.

Who is this Guy. think he may be from Bedford and was around at loads of nighters early 80s. Reason I ask that during my... ahem.. sabbatical from the scene (which I'm still partially on) I'm sure I used to see this guy at clubs I used to frequent (MOS, Lost, The End)

Or it could just be the ramblings of a fool who indulged too much in the heady days

Thanks for that .

That video is Pete Lawson , that video is no frills Northern Soul - the way it should be !!

My attendance at Stafford was nil, But i was at the Bushbury Arms last night and Simon Hunt did the best Stafford spot i ever listend to, just one hour of CLASS 60' Soul that was mind blowing, I'ts at times like that i wish i had a full attendance record for the TOTW.
