Can anyone give me more info on this allnighter that ran in the early eighties.

It was where, at the tender age of around 15, I got my first taste of true Northern. The fact that I only got to about three events before it suddenly and without explanation closed, is testement to how quickly you become hooked on this brilliant scene.

Any info would be appreciated,such as dates, tunes that were big there,story's,Dj's pics etc...& why did it dissapear so suddenly???

Yes 1981 Steve, also the last time i sold any records to Tony Coleby LOL

I remember this as i have a tin of trophy polish from Bramall Lane (Unopened) still with same date on it.....

Great to see the photos! I have some somewhere....but i have not finished identifying who did'nt pay to get in yet....but when finished i will have to get some scanned in...dance contest with Scotty, Hammie, Hockie and crew....how are these chaps????

Do you remember i brought a load of records in to give away that had been stored up at my mothers in the Garage, mainly Detroit that no body wanted at the time and we threw them into the crowd, and they all went beserk for them!

On reflection i now know why.

Lots of Jack Montgomery's on Barracuda, Jackie Beavers on Nation and Scotts on Swingers demo's etc etc. Used to sell Masqueraders "How" for £5 at that time.....with few takers

Its no wonder i am poor....

Hockie is about,some Rotherham crowd down at Rugby the other week and Scottys sis Debbie with Howard been seen down London 100club and London bridge.

Thats actually a ticket steve,

I never managed to get a flyer !!

My memberships form Clifton Hall, Rotherham was the first nighter I ever went to with my older brother in December 1980. This is what got me hooked on the soul scene and I never looked back

  • 3 years later...

Rotherham had a few good places about the same time such as the slighty earlier Assembly rooms and the slightly later Football club.

Clifton Hall also had many soul nights as well as the niters.

Derek Sheldon, dj, springs to mind as the promoter.

Ed

went to assembly rooms and windmill as well as clifton many times
