OK so its time to meet your maker, you can take Only 3 records with you in the coffin...which 3 are they going to be and would they bury you with originals or would you take pressings !!!! i,ll list mine later.....

I was there !!! I'd guess it was around 1977/78, we were outside waiting for the Casino to open and they were still playing !!! It delayed the All-nighter opening by at least an hour probably more! They would not let us in !, Slade had two articulated trucks full of sound gear they had to move before the nighter could start, there was nearly a riot outside then a black Rolls Royce came round the front of the casino with the band in it, Dave Hill ,Noddy were clearly visable and followed by about 100 screaming teenage girls. Them were the days

Always knew this would come in handy BETTYE LaVETTE IN ASDA, SUTTON-IN-ASHFIELD NOTTS Cicra 1989 Bettye (with sunglasses) does Andy "tats" Taylors weekly shop as Alison looks on--see also Chris taylor in the baby seat chucking the shopping out as quickly as bettye puts it in !!!!!!!!!

not being THICK, but what's he done ? couldn't read the handwriting on the link, saw the words CUBA mentioned--and US Gov. not two nice things to go together in the USA can someone put in into Plain english so we may help if requiered please. Rob

Alan Darker, once of Lincoln /Sheffield now living in the Manchester area was late for a book signing in Manchester. He went in a Taxi, got to Waterstones, open the door very quickly and knocked a guy flat on his back, he went to say sorry and pick the guy up only to discover that it was----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MUHAMED ALI, honest its true--so that leads to the next question "Who are the only 2 English guys to knock Ali over ? "

Just been talking to John Baxter who told me James Fountain passed away yesterday (sat) can anyone confirm ? I knew he was very ill and thats why he could not perform at fleetwood anyone seen anything else ?

Pete I think this is what i wanted to say, we are all going out to venues but what sort would they be if we had the choice ? Russ is also right in the fact that the best nighters mix the music and don't have Two rooms

no mind games, it's just that it is different horses for different courses. i went to a "Mod/Scooterist " do the other week, someones birthday. Only knew a few people there out of the 400 or so, didn't know the dj s and i heard more blinding originals than come out of many a top D js box. They also mixed in the usual Yardbids, Who and Small Faces and some other stuff, but the "Northern" was spot on ! As most know on here i personally like nearly everything except the early RnB that has been played, just not my cup of tea at all, saying that Roger banks has some great soulful early stuff and unreleased early Motown that would fall in to the RnB band which is great. just thought it would raise a discussion thats all

How many "scene's " within the "Scene" are there ? ie Northern Oldies, R & B, Crossover, and how many would you attend or which ones would you avoid like the plague or break your neck to get to ? or doesn't it matter ?

All i can say is what a top bloke he was, the Uk music scene has lost a champion of the "underdog", no matter what the style of music, being out late at night and on shifts i often used to listen to his program and the amount of uk released soul he would play was astounding, i know he played the early Kent stuff, Mary Love "Turned my bitter into sweet" springs to mind also quite a bit of Garland Green as well. i don't think anyone would have the balls to play what he did, they all play safe a very sad loss.

always a problem I'm affraid even for me--and I'm there Wednesday now-a-days, i just park up in the car park in front and leave it there, try not to double park round the appartments anyway as the satff need access with their vehicles. i'd recommend unloading your car and parking up near the front that way if you want to get off centre in the daytime at least you'll get out and back ok Funky lady --still waiting a reply on the PM you sent by the way will be in touch Rob

Wohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo - Can't wait we did this last year and it give me a chance to have a booze - the year before I was so inebriated after friday afternoon I completely missed most of friday night see you there

there is one born every minute ---well spotted and good post

at the moment its showing "sold Out" on the booking system---however odd appartments do crop up when people don't follow through on their bookings you can try 0870 604 5644 which is the main pontins booking line or try the Centre at Prestatyn they may know more. 01745 881 800 . other than that try BEGGING for spare wristbands and places on here, i sure there are some spare places around Rob

Sorry to hear about this, but remember Hilda was on the door at every Casino all-nighter I went to and took no crap from anyone !!! Russ can probably confirm if she had a day off !!! What about the old guy with the bald head that used to collect the empty coke bottles in those blue bin things with the wheels--he always chewed a match stick !!! These things stay with you when you are a teenager in a strange town and harry green , first a doorman then the manager when mike died What happened to him ??
