Guest Matt Male Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 (edited) ......1980's Birmingham - any old 'riggerites out there remember this session in 83!!! I went there once. I think it was a soul night. I can't remember who ran it or any other details. Was there only one? Lots of mods there i vaguely remember. Maybe it was this alldayer... I would have been there with Mick Cope and possibly Richard Jakeman. Maybe he can jog my crap memory? Edited December 7, 2008 by Matt Male Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

harpo1 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Ah! yes i used to Dj at the dayers along with Pep for Tony Reynolds This was where i first met "Our Ted", he looked like a larger brother of Timmy Mallet at the time, red specks hawaiian shirt 'n' all, with all those UK White Demos and the start of what has become the awsome U.S. collection he has accumulated. Who said the only thing good to come out of Brummigem was the Hagley Road. Good times i remember, i remember playin Bill Harris there as a revitalised gem , along with the likes of Celeste Hardie, Ty Karim(that especially interested Ted, next time i saw him he had one, also on Romark) Dean Courtney etc....etc... Regulars were Tim, Niall, John Weston and Tina, plus the Redditch n Kiddi crowd amongst others Good times, great mates Harpo Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Mal C Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 (edited) Tony got me and most of my friends into Northern, we were all younger Mods at school, I mean all my mates brothers and their mates went to the Rigger on sunday nights, and we watched them drive off as it were, come 85 we were all going on a Sat day session which Tony did and Sunday nights... Spent my youth being chased from the Rigger around town by Rude Boys and Zulu's and any visiting army of football fans, I still hate football to this day!! cant stand Rude Boys and two tone!! Laughs Remember John Weston, as he knocked about with Paddy and adrian Peddley from the E types, I dont know the guy...we all started to go to the Old Vic etc from there as well as the Conessours nights and Sinattras in Brum also.. also made my first trip to the 100 club with tony, paddy, rich and me... think that would have been 87.. Only thing was not to go to one of the other clubs Tony liked to frequent after the rigger.... Laughs Great memories Mal.C. Edited January 8, 2009 by Mal.C.

Rugby Soul Club Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Wow, what a blast from the past and great memories. I always remember thinking the girls were so much better dancers than the fellas over there. And the being chased at the end was part and parcel of the whole evening... Tony ran a few venues around the brum area. Him and his brother were good enough to put us up in their flat when we were over there. He'd got a good collection of records too... It was one of his do's that I picked a copy of Lew Kirton up for £4, he then put it straight on the decks for me to dance to. Cleared the floor... ...but me and Tony loved it.

There was one girl, cant remember her name who always danced with her pint in her hand, it was sheer poetry in motion, the pint never moved but she did!!
