Just had reason to rack my brains on Paul Donnelly's Major thread@ the Torch. Now then something is niggling me.

Was there ever an Alldayer at Market Harborough at a swimming pool down there????. Run by international Soul Club>???

I seem to remember being asked to go down after the nighter finished group of lads and girls from there said meet us after and you can come down with us.........

Now can anyone cast any light on this. Me and a mate at the time waited outside and no lift . Anyway no worries we thought then hitched it home

It could be a dubie induced dream but I don't think so.

Did anyone go. Was Chris burton involved

Don't think it would be allowed nowadays---big crowd of soulies amphetamine fuelled dancing round a pool----- Health and safety and all that

Any offers guys and girls-----did this happen!

Can't answer that question, but here's one back.

Who ran the Legendary Whitchurch All Dayers, pretty sure Mr. burton was involved.

Tony

I know they had a few all dayers at the 76,club, Burton-on-Trent after the Torch, a Alan Day connection?

I was far to young then,but big boys told me about them.

Kev

the big boys told me about the lantern in Mkt Harboro which filled a gap between the wheel closing and the Torch opening for nighters, it later changed its name to something like The Frollicking Knee Cap or something like that...

Went over there one night and got well and trully fucked by a gang of Greebos with chains and stuff, happy days.

Hi,

It was the late great Tony Petherbridge who ran the Whitchurch dayers, as part of his Northern Soul Club. If i remember his was the first club to use the terminology "Northern Soul" as a club. Still have my membership & badge along with the legendary '74 alldayer badge.

Prior to that he ran soul nights at the Beefeater - later the Raven - at Prees Heath just outside whitchurch.

Sadly missed.

the whitchurch all-dayers were also brilliant........

not if they emptied the pool first

Thanks for the input chaps Think i shall have to get in me loft and rifle through me old torch stuff to se if i can find out about this 'all dayer'.

bazrico------vaguely remember Sundays pre all nighter. Defo remember the Fridays though , lot of wheel lads used to go and score there for the Saturday wheel nighters.

Tonyp----I can remember the whitchurch ones(but I thought they were run by ISC ). Do you know what--Market drayton is near there and in answer to my original post I am starting to think that these all dayers by a swimming pool (a civic one) were there . Now I am confused!!

TIVOLI---- was that beefeater run by the same folks who ran the Place in Hanley and cheshire cat in Nantwich?

melandthensome---- Top rank Hanley was ISC run wasn't it and remember Millie Jackson there(Ian Levine DJ????). Oscar toney jnr did a Torch allnighter if memory serves??

Anyway am going to a soul night tonight where there are some other old b*stards like me I'll try and pick thier brains

not if they emptied the pool first

Be even worse

l was there when millie jackson sang " my man ect".......her soon to be released single

Tez Millie Jackson was a play at the Torch late 1972 after its release on Spring in August/1972

Chris was never given a chance again to revive the allnighter scene in Stoke-on trent yet today the council will allow outsiders to run allnighters even make films of the northern scene

TIVOLI---- was that beefeater run by the same folks who ran the Place in Hanley and cheshire cat in Nantwich?

I don't remember Tony being involved with these venues, that's not to say he wasn't, although he did try to launch a rival allnighter to the Casino in Oswestry.

He also ran a night at Erbistock Country Club near to Bangor On Dee.

There was an all-dayer somewhere, I went once, thing was we had such a long drive back to south London in some rather dodgy cars we couldn't risk leaving too late for fear of having to drive in the dark

Hi, there were all-dayers in 1973 at MARKET DRAYTON , advertised as a,

"BARBEQUE & SPLASH" presumably at a pool.

Bet the burgers went down well on a sunday

Ahh I wonder if this was what I remembered. Would it have been poss it was' 72 cos I am sure it was in summer the day after a nighter at the Torch.

ChrisL-----Bet you can't remember if the one you went to had a pool. Can certainly relate to travelling and dodgy cars Was always an integral part of the scene in those days--fingers crossed and hope you got there . Every trip to a nighter in those days always semed to turn into an adventure ----think that was part of the fun

Anyway at the time I thought what a great idea after a nighter-- chill out session in the sun by a swimming pool. Also if memory serves the invite came from a couple of quite handsome girls . but we missed out----always knew allnighters and women never mix
