Gateshead High Street are you sure that's a new one on me, i recall there was one at Gateshead leisure centre but did not go due to work is this what you mean, just the thought of any strangers on the high st particually yanks, not going down too well with regulars from Curlys bar Paul Conroy

Hi Paul, it was definately on the high street somewhere in a church hall if memeory serves, but the yanks were definately there.

Only recall this cos I entered the dancing comp, thinking money would be nice,,,, ended up with a fuffing trophy what was that about? the trophy went in the bin , remember gaz being there decka was there also..... a few people from crewe and further afield being there also

was there too, not a bad night either, got some nice photos of Mr Holman singing his heart out, with Snake Davis by his side, give us a shout if there of any interest

I remember this night as they were running late setting the stage up and Chris King asked me and my mate Dunc to give them a hand. Then when we had finished he told us to go back outside and pay to get in at which point we told him to f*ck off

Also really liked the Dolphon Centre, used to knock about with local guy called oggie when I went up there

Memory fading a wee bit BUT didn't the Mayfair have a good sized balcony round it?

I'm sure it did (circa 71) and it didn't take kindly to Yorkies so the Geordies chucked me over it and on to the dancefloor - quite an entrance and the same one at A&E

Hello Paul

I remember DJing at a niter in the west end of Newcastle and West Denton rings a bell - bit of a strange night if I remember rightly.

There was a niter at Dunelm house in Durham city run by Alex Lowes and he arranged a follow up one but it was pulled at the last minute by the council and I mean the last minute. A bus load turned up from Scotland and then they had to go on to Wigan.

There was also all nighters on at the Sombero in Chester Le Street on a fairly regular basis, Soul and later Jazz Funk. And as you''ve mentioned the Aycliffe Youth Club niters which were well known throughout the country.

Can't remember any more at the minute I'll have a think.

Cheers

Thats right it did have a balcony round it, my memory of the place was it was very bright think the lights were on all the time, memory a bit hazy though, had some good nights in there

Paul Conroy

Was the red house on the quayside quite a way to the left of where the bars are now and an upstairs venue? If so I went to it, mid 80s? Went to one and I think Alan Walls and Sedge from Stoke may have been Djing.

Well thanks, and you.

Ta for that, lots of people,s houses to go to after than (lots of friends in Darlo).

By Dave mate you were a bit slow on the uptake there mate

I shall be there come hell or high water...the respite care is looming on the horizon...got a meeting on 22 October about that...with the potential foster carer...so my social life will be resuming shortly in earnest

What's the betting we all end up at the same after-party? I hope so cos I've not partied with you two for ages and I need to make up for lost time...and I'll need to get a few practice runs in as well

Hi Harry...I'm not sure that I know you but I know plenty of peeps from York from back in the day so maybe...

Great to hear about your forward planning...let me know where I can get tickets as I need to be organised for this one

Its a good job I've just had my house decorated and spruced up...I can host an after-party if need be...but hopefully I'll get invited to one elsewhere

Looking forward to this already....thanks ever so much, this has made my day

I went to an allnighter up in newcastle in the late 80ts and the place had a balcony round it.

Cant remember the name of the venue though

Funilly enough someone took a dive off the balcony the night i was there.

yep sombrero ch-le- st,if i remember J manship played a few.it was run by A lowes.great days but try and name all the non all nighter day night events in the n east between the 70s and 80s,hard one to start with, europer lodge morpeth, paul moony should remember that one, the brick paul.

That's a long, tall order Mick there were so many Soul nights back then. Alex's name would crop up in association with a lot of them. He ran the Coach and Eight in Durham and there was the regular night up at the working men's club at Nevilles Cross. Also there was another central Durham venue where Ian levine came up and did a spot - can't remember the name but I've got some photos somewhere, Paul Mooney and Mick Powney were there.

Russ Winstanley and Dave Evison both did Soul night/ all-dayer spots at different times at the Sombrero and I remember John Manship selling records at one of the all-dayers there. There was also fairly long running nights at the Key club and the Rex at Birtley. I remember Soul Sam doing a spot at the Rex and getting a bit angry with Alex because he'd uncovered the Harry Betts tune ( maybe tune is the wrong word). There was the regular weekday nights at the Stirling House in Gateshead around 75. And a lot down the coast run by both Alex and Duncan Mc, seperately I might add. There were a lot more - all dayers /Soul nights through at Aycliffe and Darlo and varous other places, as I'm sure you know.

Cheers

Manus
