In Woking the Atalanta, Agincourt in Camberley (sung on stage with Edwin Starr - Tueday night, way before War made him a super-star - very much riding on those Ric-Tic re-issues), Something underneath the car park in Bracknell, opposite Bentalls, don't know the name, Pantiles of course, best soul club around was the A Train in Guildford every sunday evening, 100% soul, think one of the DJ's is involved on Bisley. There was a real Northern Soul all-niter in Portsmouth, put together by sailors from "Up Norf" called the Marina. On a par with the Wheel as far as music was concerned, loads of imports, M Lance, etc. It started to go pear shaped with the advent of funk/protest "soul" music 1971/72 that's when we headed up to the Cats, Mecca & Torch. Ever come accross a character called Pat Munroe? he used to live practically at Pantiles. Chris L

August 19, 200717 yr I occasionally went to Pantiles in the early 70's but did not like the music. Originally from Camberley, my friends and I (or on my own) went to the commercial and non commercial soul music clubs around the area during the early/mid 1970's: Bisley Pavilion; Aldershot -Buxted Chicken Factory; Camberley-Agincourt, Shades of Green, Banners/Cambridge Hotel, Hawley Hotel; Farnborough-Town Hall, Queens Hotel, Blue Moon, Big C. Tumbledown Dick; Fleet-Town Hall, Silver Park Club, Fleet Country Club. I also used to go to Reading Top Rank (Night Owl), Farnham-Harveys; Woking-Atlanta; Richmond-Cheeky Pete's; Egham-Francos; Guildford-Annabellas/Cinderellas, Windsor Safari Park Club, plus the club under Bracknell carpark - Dawbourne's (I think). During the early 70's the Agincourt used to hold a Northern Soul night every Thursday. At most of the non commercial soul clubs you could order and buy all your Soul & American Import records off the DJ's. You could get the coach organised by Derek to Wigan Casino from outside the Tumbledown Dick.

August 30, 200717 yr Author I occasionally went to Pantiles in the early 70's but did not like the music. Woking-Atlanta Actually called the Atalanta, built as a ballroom in the late 1800's. We used to go there from Walton, Hersham, West Byfleet, etc. all meet up on the train. Get to Woking station, down the new bit, past the Albion pub. We'd always be there before the place opened, queing up was always a part of the experience. The DJ Bob Potter used to play a reel to reel tape whilst setting up the decks. It was the same tape for all the times I went there, which I guess must have been for about 2 years. Tracks were Behind a painted smile - Isley Bros, Right Traclk - Billy Butler, People - the Tymes, Help Me - Spellbinders, Sly & Family Stone - Everyday people, can't remember the rest. The wooden dance floor used to bend when it got full and a popular record came on. Boy!! spooky I can remember all this stuff, I have no idea what I had for tea last night..........
January 3, 200817 yr I never went to Pantiles, but went regularly to the Hawley Hotel - I saw my first punks there - until Frenchies opened and took all Hawley punters. I never thought Frenchies was as good as the Hawley though and only went there a few times. I went to the Dawbourne Club a couple of times, including my first All-Dayer; Cheeky Petes a few times; a couple of places in Guildford; a place in Camberley which I'm sure was above the shopping centre, but I can't remember the name; and every Reading Top Rank All-Dayer except August Bank Holiday 1977 when Chris Hill led the conga line downstairs to take over the main room. I went to the Atalanta once to see a band called Smiling Hard, who were a not very good Brit funk band, and can remember the DJ playing George Benson's Super Ship. Did anyone go to the Sunday lunch time sessions at the Belvedere on the road between Ascot and Virginia Water in the mid-80s? They could be quite good, but getting out of the carpark at the end was a nightmare. Edited January 3, 200817 yr by Salv

Also went to Cheeky Petes at Richmond (it used to be The Castle), Reading and Croydon Top Ranks and the Orchid at Purley as well as Stretham Meccano and Hammersmith Palais. Also used to go to a little reggae club in Reading - a little basement club, often we were the only white guys in there! Long way back now!!

May 29, 20186 yr Hi all - am really interested in Pantiles' history. Have started a very rough entry on the club on the Garage Hangover website but am starting to collect live gigs there from 1967-1970. I've found quite a few in the Surrey Advertiser and Fabulous 208. Don't know if anyone else has any confirmed gigs from that period. Would love to hear from you at Warchive@aol.com
Anybody else on Soul Source ever frequent Pantiles, on the A30 in Bagshot, Surrey ?
Not exactly a 100% soul club, but in the 70T's the music they played was about 75%
soul, old and current. I had a mate Phil barrs who DJ'd there guess about 1974 - 76
he was an old Mecca/Torch hand and snook the odd NS choon in when he could.
Many a great night had there over the years, have to say more for chasing women
than spinning to Rose Batiste.......
