nsaints Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I didn't go as it was before my time. However I remember my mates talking about 'stars and stripes club' when discussing Yate Could that be the name of the venue? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Shsdave Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Yes the Stars & Stripes when I went but I think it may have been held in another venue as well .....The Baths spring to mind ? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Dave Thorley Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Interesting question. I thought I went to all of them, start to finish, but they were allnighters. Can't remember any alldayers, except for a few revival ones at The Baths in the early 80's Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I can recall attending an all-dayer whilst John (Kojak) Harvey ran the Inter City do's there, it was definitely an all-dayer, on a bank holiday Monday in 1975/6, at the Stirling Suite! 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest peter burke Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 right dave ,no alldayers Well sort of, apart from the anniversary that comprised an all nighter drifting in to an all dayer and ending witha sort of soul night Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
