I suppose Riker Room is out of the question

" cough " wayne johnson :-)

Alex will probably be at the City Hall gig in Sheffield on aug 18th along with the rest of us Sammy's crew Dave Hill

Lol... so do I mate as I sent both of you birthday wishes on facebook... ps has our young un found that hendrix tape yet? pps...thinking back I think it was Hinkley cos me and Anita got there after all the fun had happened

He's coming over in September and we're going to the Wheel on the 9th with the rest of the Sheffield gang who used to hang with him Dave Hill

Me and my mate Al Millington used to go in regularly...not sure what happened to Noddy didn't he get busted and then went off the scene?

Mac was that the night that Tony Garnett got lifted and Steve Parker twatted that DS...or was that somewhere else ? Dave

Should have gone by car with me and Al Millington, Derek Sheldon et al...lol

This always reminded of me of those parasites like John Vincent who. after picking the brains of the sheffield collectors like Al Millington leached his way onto the scene knowing f*ck all

I remember going to Dave Appleyard's in Boston with my mates Ray Hudson, Pete Shirley and Alan Rawlinson then off to Lincoln... had some great nights there...good times

Junior Wells... Gonna Cramp Your Style was another blues tune played

No it was when you bought Bernie Williams - Ever Again...alzheimers and substance misuse has destroyed my memory...

The thing is...everybody was different..there wasn't a composite dancer in the early years...Matchy had a style of his own as did many of us...the best dancers like Frank New at the Wheel and Dave Murray from Blackpool were the best of that generation...personally Rob Day was the best dancer I've ever seen although Jethro was good..as far as Sheffield was concerned I think it was a toss up between Mick France and Wayne Johnson

Hi Rick..they were great times..remember Dave Godin chatting to me and Al Millington and nicking my menthol cigarettes..was that when you paid £120 for Don Thomas Come on Train? Dave Hill

Err...anything depending on what gear we had at the time...you know when you're dancing to the Javells at Wigan you're too fvcked to get discerning...anyone who went from 69 -80 pretty much danced to everything...to pick a favourite era is another thread entirely

My mate Alan Millington DJ'd there and played... Dave Love- Coalined Baby CaL Tjader - Soul Source Casanova Two- Gotta Keep On and was one of the first to play... The Night... the place went mental

Hi Paul...loved the dance class footage for the upcoming film...I heard you were in Perth and saw my old mate Steve Parker when you DJ'd there

Al Kent - You've Got To Pay The Price Edwin Starr - I Have Faith In You

Wasn't Dave Owen living in that flat on Infirmary Rd in Sheffield by then with Karen...he had the bottom flat and Dodger and Pauline had the middle one..I was knocking about with Judy S at the time and shortly afterwards Dodger moved back to Grantham cos' me and Judy used to go and stop with them

like CharlieW said hindsight is a wonderfull thing...as us lot from Sammie's used to say " most of us would have danced to mary had a little lamb if it had a beat to it given the fact that we were always off our heads on the dancefloor...and yes i was there when Goodbye Nothing to Say was played ad nauseum that night at Wigan...btw Scratchy is a brilliant tune lol

just to bump this...keep on pushing.... https://www.change.org/petitions/manchester-city-council-save-legends-nightclub
