ask pat brady ,he ran all nighters at a venue in hinckley for a while,

Was it Hinckley Regent Club?

If not - I want to know too!

Chalky will know. I call on him for everything I can't remember!

Failing that - Mark Freeman 'Wiganer 1' will know.

i left leicestershire in 1980, before the sports centre nighter started.

i did go to a nighter in hinckley at what used to be it's old tiffany's in 1980, i think it had changed it's name to bubbles by then, it was owned by the mecca group.

hinckley had a very strong northern soul contingent stretching way back.

Hinckley Regent Club.......just down from the Leisure Centre............saw Martha & The Vandellas there one night when they should of appeared at Leisure Centre, but for some reason the venue got switched at the last minute (I think??)

Ive got an old photo somewhere of a load of us from Newcastle/Gateshead area on a coach and on the back Ive written Hinkley, Leicester 1983 and we are soooo young. Were the Supremes on there at all ? Or was that somewhere else ? Maybe it was the Vandellas ?? My memory isnt what it used to be .................

Any chance you could put the photos on here as i and others would like to see them and some of my mates where there so it would be nice for them too.

I rember seeing Eddie Holman in Hinckley, and I have often tryed to work out what venue it was at.

When I used to live near there a few years back, we used to go clubing with the guys I worked with and I can think of two places that it may be. One is now a kids play zone and club, and the other is up a side street of the main road through town, The Regent club also rings a bell.

I do have some pics from back then that I am unsure if the venue, will post them up when I find them.

BUBBLES was the name of the club methinks.......Harpo

Yep I got in deep deep trouble in Bubbles

Kev

Yes, Bubbles was the nightclub in The Horsefair in Hinckley, a small street/alley way off the main street (Castle Street??). I think it's still a nightclub to this day.

I used to go to a mid-week thing at the Working Mens Club (?)..........the room was definitely called The Alkin Suite (might have the spelling wrong??). I reckon these were Monday nights, but it's a looooonng time ago. As I recall, some big name DJ's used to do that, not just locals.

If I remember rightly the reason had something to do with a temporary stage at the original venue. The act didnt think it was particularly safe so they refused to go on.

If that was the case, then it was a great piece of work getting the alternative venue.

Mine were blurry too - must have been on of those nights
