Sound thanks Baz.........I remember you and Shelly from City Limits.......see you at the Horti soon mate 👍

here's me at the heart of the Oldham potato famine in '76............and then at Davy's Sheffield (the wrinkly on the left) with Fraz and Mopsey in 2014......

my two penneth......great thread by the way..... Jamo Thomas - Arrest me............... O'Jays - Hold on.........

Didn't know they had done any Soul nights? Started going about 85, GSH was on there (poetry reading!!!) and Sade before she got big. Went to a few Greg Wilson nights there in the pre Madchester era, and then more frequently in the naughty nineties with my ex-NS mate who got into the Dance scene in a big way.

one or two old soul boys at the Hac

Well said that man.......(not sure about the dancing bit though)

We had brawls with locals hanging about after the pubs emptied when we were walking up from the station a couple of times on the first couple of Oldies Friday nights which weren't particularly well attended, so there weren't many on the train. Also remember seeing the odd scraps over gear both in and outside the Casino not to mention lads getting rolled in the bogs. Never drank before or at a niter, but would have a few at an all dayer.

Shabby-chic...........................

Oh.........and terminal acne......

Woodpecker, Players No 6, Brut and Doc Martin's

..........makes my Billy boil

Best I've heard was the lad who came over for a chat at the KGB in Sheffield about ten or so years back, said he didn't start going to Wigan until '83 and preferred the Highland Room to the main room. I asked if he was there when Otis and Marvin appeared live in May '84, but he didn't go that week. Who cares, I had a good night and went home sweatier than Daktari................. job done.
