Whilst we're all on a nostalgia roll re Shotts and the importance it played in the Scottish Soul Scene , could we please have a scrum down regarding the nighter that really got me into this mess and a lot of you in the first place !!!
Comimg from Falkirk my trip to Glenrothes on a Sat night was easy compared to some , bus at 5.30pm from Larbert ,after finishing work at 5pm , got me into Glenrothes town at 8pm , after going round every bloody village in Fife , then straight to bar at Bowling Alley to meet up with the rest . Sun morn not so easy as bus not till 10am , or cadge a lift back with Edinburgh lot.
Alan and Steve Walls were fantastic in their choice of sounds / venue / and rosta of dj's , Keb , Colin Law ,Jim Tennent , Jock , Guy , etc ... as well as a host of new talent and their dj debuts , keeping a mix of newies / modern sounds and oldies alike which paved the way for the scottish scene to follow
I have still never, in 25 yrs been to a nighter or soul night where people danced on the tables without being kicked out !!!!
