and ive heard a lot of people saying the good days at wigan had gone by 77, i can`t comment on that as i wasn`t there, and of course it must have been one hell of a time listening to some of the earlier stuff for the first time, but as ive posted earlier how anyone can say the casino died after 77 with a list of records like that is beyond me, and thats just richards playlist, weve not mentioned pats, gary rushbrook etc of course this is just an opinion and each to there own of course

HEAR HEAR.. ..does your nut in dont it..Delxxxx

[Guest inspirations001]

Got to agree 100% 1978 to 1981 was a very rich musical period for RS and the saturday nite regulars, the only downside was having to drop tombstones.... .

Regulars from Clitheroe, Skipton, Accrington, Derby, Blackburn, Burnley and Tim Casey from Settle........but what about those friday nites....warming up at the Spinning Jenny in Accrington

Nick.

think i remember tim casey, wasn't he at uni at the time, prob knocked about with the burnley lot,winnie, sue, jacqui green,mick etc.

[Guest inspirations001]

Nowere like it loads frm bolton and manchester there started goin in 77 with pat and elaine cluxton steve livesy and the horwich boys gazo hans carl dave molloy from farnworth,shirley and fran from stockport,lee sean and the heywood crew knew duncan john frosty frm rochdale salty and pete from prestwich good days,to easily dismissed by some and searling the best in those years that there has ever been or ever will be.

i have fond memories of pat, mark and elaine,along with all the others from that crew, pete and diane,mick,fran and shirley,and gaynor from stoclkport. pat and i used to take a record box, filled with cans and build a pyramid of empties on the table, happy days, i think! and don't mention the loony hull crowd!

[Harry Crosby]

 

yvonne vernee, was this one covered up? anyone

[Guest inspirations001]

c/u as sequins "too much loving" terrific track for a white bird!

[Guest Nick Harrison]

Chris Jones Used to go out with geoff Oakes,

Would that be th'e Geoff Oakes - later to go onto Renaisance Club fame...... Mr Munchkin....

[Guest thenogger]

NICK, you are certainly right, GEOFF OAKES did own the dance company. I knew GEOFF very well, i even gave him a lift to the CASINO a couple of times.

REGARDS NICK.

Hi old boy how you doing, just remembered I need to do you a CD mate, although sure you will have hear them all.

He did say he was an old Northern boy, but I never believed him, well I never!

Was talking to gal a couple of months ago at derby ward soul nite he still lives in bolton,funnily enough he didnt mention the elvis impersonator bit .

You being serious about him being an Elvis impersonator? I remember him coming to a Clouds allnighter and Bruce paid him at least partly in bottles of something strong (whisky?) and he proceed to work his way through it during the all-nighter, even worse he was djing towards the end. I didnt really know him as I was just a young lad but he seemed a real rum lad and always spoke, he always said Clouds Edinburgh was his favourite place. Good to hear he is still around.

went out with a girl from northallerton, for a few weeks, music was more interesting, i got the shuve

[Guest inspirations001]

[Munchkin]

Hi old boy how you doing, just remembered I need to do you a CD mate, although sure you will have hear them all.

He did say he was an old Northern boy, but I never believed him, well I never!

You being serious about him being an Elvis impersonator? I remember him coming to a Clouds allnighter and Bruce paid him at least partly in bottles of something strong (whisky?) and he proceed to work his way through it during the all-nighter, even worse he was djing towards the end. I didnt really know him as I was just a young lad but he seemed a real rum lad and always spoke, he always said Clouds Edinburgh was his favourite place. Good to hear he is still around.

Gal always did a better spot when he was pissed......... even at wigan

[Munchkin]

is that Oscar's lad used to live in Buglawton?

used to be a major barb freak, remember once getting him off the train at crewe.. got a call in the week, he had spent the night in a field, those were the days

[Guest inspirations001]

was once taking a walk to the multi story and found a mate talking to a tree who he thought was his gran! never took barbs, prob cos of crap like that!

[Mark Oliver]

also richard was gonna call pages as leon ware and gloria jones!!

still the best time ever on the scene for me,77 til the end night.

You could be right as there was a couple that had already uncovered by this time and that was one of them that I was told at the time was c/up as Johnny Hampton.

Great record and pressed up around this time so everyone started to have one in their collection.

Mark

[Munchkin]

NICK, you are certainly right, GEOFF OAKES did own the dance company. I knew GEOFF very well, i even gave him a lift to the CASINO a couple of times.

REGARDS NICK.

" thenogger "

nogger do you remember when geoffs mum and dad were looking after a neighbours house while they were on hols, geoff borrowed the neighbours car to go to wigan and got it back before his mum and dad got up.. the things we used to do to get there........

detroit sound of friction "gotta get myself together"

jackie beavers "i need my baby"

It all got a bit confusing as you were hear different dee-jays playing the same track at a venue but with a different cover up name.

I did after many years get a copy of "Nightime Shadows" TSOB (I put TSOP earlier - mad moment) on 45.

For years I didn't know what it was and then Martin Maylor reckoned that Crumb from Stoke had bought it from Richard who had got it off Sam towards the end of Wigan.

After a crazy weekend we travelled miles to see Crumb and I was willing to offer a tidy sum for what was one of my top wants. Walked in spoke to Crumb, who said "haven't got a clue what you are talking about and never heard of the record.

The things you do to get that elusive track!

Do you know what happened to either Carol or Bridget.

I know Bridget had I believe a daughter a few years later and I went up to the christening but have lost contact since.

no mate, lost contact after wigan(as you do!). would love to see her again prob got more tattoos now!

a mate of mine saw carol at a weekender somewhere, will try get any contact info if he has it. both nice lasses, would be nice to see em but no-one travels to any ONE venue like we did back then if u get my drift.

and ive heard a lot of people saying the good days at wigan had gone by 77, i can`t comment on that as i wasn`t there, and of course it must have been one hell of a time listening to some of the earlier stuff for the first time, but as ive posted earlier how anyone can say the casino died after 77 with a list of records like that is beyond me, and thats just richards playlist, weve not mentioned pats, gary rushbrook etc of course this is just an opinion and each to there own of course

Agree with you there Harry, I've found that most peeps that say the casino was shit after that date were the peeps that had stopped going anyway and started having kids etc so how they can comment is beyond me, there's a few couples from our way that always say that there a bit older than me and Kev but my answer is always the same if you wern't there how would you know.

I started going in 1978 and I loved every minute of it and as you say with the play lists mentioned it certainly wasn't dead imo of course.

What a great playlist as detailed above....was a big Pat Brady follower as Pat was our local DJ.

It would be great if Mark Freeman could put up some of Pat's list from back then, as I seem to recall Mark having a better knowledge of who played what, from his C90 tape collection.

Here's a few off the top of me head.

The Chandlers - Your Love Makes Me Lonely (Col Soul)

Jimmy Burns - I Really Love You (Erica 2)

John Bowie - Youre Gonna Miss A Good Thing Baby (Merben)

J T Brown - Like Taking Candy (Mahogany)

Carol Anderson - Sad Girl (Fee)

Jimmy McFarland - Lonely Lover (RPR).......anyone available to post up a sound file of this - please.

Keep um coming chaps..... .

Thanks

Nick.

Robin - how's the memory ....still awaiting your knowledge and input on this thread, should be interesting.

used to be a major barb freak, remember once getting him off the train at crewe.. got a call in the week, he had spent the night in a field, those were the days

If this is the same guy then he's progressed from barbs . Some folks say he's a 'baghead' now and looks really bad.

Showing me age but I used to hang around with his dad and a few others 1970ish. His dad Oscar was a big 'wheel' boy and possibly(allegedly) was not adverse to the odd chemical inducement himself
