I don't know the exact dates but I'm sure Brian Rae and Tony Clayton were running the allnighter at some point mid eighties because l first started D jing there , gentleman Rob Smith boxed for my corner and they let me do a spot in the main room playing newer sixties sounds ..........Little John ( Martay ) , Gwen Davis ( SS7 ) , Betty Turner ( Cresent ) Soul Bros Inc ( Golden eye ) , Ron Baxter ( Ole 9 ) mostly Stafford sounds which were recent new tunes , well within a year or two ( which were new to the Fleet at the time ) apart from the sixties newies nighter some years before . Which I thought was excellent but didn't really work with the punters .
It must have been 86 ish deffo before Jon and Danny took over , things really did start to take off then . Will sort out some play lists and get some top tens together . I do remember the 10 the anniversary that was a FANTASTIC night there one of the best nighters I've every been to .
