The second most important venue thread has got me thinking. Has anyone ever tried to put together a list of all the nighters there have been over the years ( not including weekenders ), to see how many came and went or are still around.

And Swanage, Dorset, I DJ'd there, god the memory is getting poor

Edited March 2, 200817 yr by Dave Thorley

Dave

Yea dont know how I had forgot it , should have remembered as me and my mate Dunc from Warrington got our bags nicked out of Brian Rae's car on the car park. I did slow down a great deal in the mid 90s as a had a family to bring up, so didnt get to many ( if more than the 1 I can remember )

not the one i'm thinking of

The Lantern? Which then changed to The Frollicking Fekup, not sure if the was a nighter.

Kelmarsh?

Tiffany's and Maxine's in Wigan were both the same.

Hanley Stoke on Trent

Trencherfield Mill Wigan

Golbourne

Dont remeber Trencherfield

Was the one in Golbourne run by Dean Mitchell, I remember going to some of his do's in Golbourne just forgot the nighters

Used to go to Notts Odd Fellows with Dean in that camper van thing he had, with a lass called Jane from Worsley Mesnes

Steve

Could have had a mention but I didn't see it (eyes a little tired), Winding Wheel in Chesterfield, best nighter venue I've ever been in.

Market Harborough Town Hall - thats another one I had forgotten going to

Lifeline's had three homes so far, Sheridans, the Fox @ Colsterworth and Old Bell @ Barnby Moor. We are moving as of April to Brookfields Club (The Stables) @ Shareshill, Wolverhampton. It's the home of New Century Soul Club too if it hasn't been mentioned already.

WHO CAN REMEMBER THE NIGHT OWL IN LEICESTER

I've often thought the Winding Wheel would be a cracking venue, never knew it had been, when was that Chalky?

was,nt there one in wakefield called ..... rachealls

Edited March 2, 200817 yr by lagerlout

Was that the place inside Belle Vue, abolutely huge place where the bouncers wouldnt let anyone sit on the floor?

If not thats another one for the list but cant remember what it was called

Also Manchester International & International 2

Another from 80's, Paddocks Club in London, opposite or at side of Daily Mirror (I think) buliding.

I've often thought the Winding Wheel would be a cracking venue, never knew it had been, when was that Chalky?

I ran it for a year after Stafford closed. DJ's included Butch, Ian Clarke, Guy, Keb, Ady Pountain, Jonathon, Adam, Robin over two rooms, one modern the other northern. From the day we started to the day it closed we were harrassed by the police and thats why it's a hard venue to use. Asked not long ago and the police in the town are just anti allniters. Shame

Went to a couple at Trencherfield Mill about 6 years ago.

The one in Golborne was run by Dean.

Not sure if it's the Miners Welfare Club or summert like that.

It was 1987 for I think 6 nighters. First one upstairs was northern and downstairs modern etc. Northern went downstairs and the upstairs became oldies room, Steve Smith in charge of that one I think??? The December one was Kebs last nighter outside London before going into retirement, got a rousing ovation that went on for ages and Guy was stood there tapping his feet waiting to start his set

was,nt there one in wakefield called ..... rachealls

No , that was Raquel's - but it was not an all - nighter ........

Wakefield has had two notable all - nighters : The Metro , and the Wakefield Unity Hall , which I was the promoter of 1976 - 1977 ........

I also ran , with Bill Payne , all - nighters at Stoke Tiffany's ........

Yeah they were a complete set of b*stards!! Stopping the coaches and searching all who entered the car park in town centre!! They caught one person with a bit of gear from the six all-nighters. Think in the end the venue had to concede to the police as they were refused an extension for one of Colliery Brass Bands

I think the stance of the police may have softened a bit now Dave, other all-nighters from other types of music have been held in the area and other clubs have been open all night. Might be worth a try again

No, I ran them all with Danny Everard. It was sort of the end of the Stafford era, everyone went off to do other things after that. But even with the police hassel, they were good fun.

I'll give them a ring, but need to get 'The Powerstation' off the ground first

When I said Steve in charge I meant you gave him responsibility for that room, sure thats what he mentioned in conversation about the venue once.

Rob Marriott charging the squad to get in, "don't give a f*ck who you are, tenner (or what ever the entrance fee was back then)"
