It was at Cantley Lodge, Doncaster a venue run by Snowy ( Bill Snow)...

The 'No Northern' was a tongue in cheek comment as 'Northern Soul' as a genre, did not exist at that time!

 

Thanks Fred Im a Donny lad so was interested to know where venue was.See your point now about the pre Northern Soul tag era :thumbup:.

Some loverley British originals there mate.Got a couple of them myself.Always enjoy your playlists

Thanks for that....sometimes DJ's get 'caught up' in the 'same old same old' playlists trying to please a dancefloor with so called classics and as it was the first time I had DJ'd in Donny since the early 70's, wanted to play my old Attic tunes. I only ever play originals and try to play 'something different'.

Doubt I'll play there again, but enjoyed it, a nice venue.

Apart from your play list, what were the other big tunes at the attic?

Did any USA live acts ever play there?

It was all Northern Soul at the Baileys all nighters in the 70s..

Top nightclub over the years.

Yes, quite a few live acts, Billy Stewart was my favourite. Went once to the 'night club' that evolved after The Attic, 70's disco if I remember....

Edy, were you there that night Baileys got shut down about 2.30 in morning, all kicked out onto the streets ? Remember Necko, Pearsy, Crabby, Willie and myself been there, I think you was, but memory fading now.  :D

I thought you was there, we ended up kipping in an old church that had been opened as a drop in centre.  

I would never leave the floor if that set was played, thanks for posting the pics, appreciated, wish more people did the same
