Hiya Nige xx Im bloody marvellous matey hope you are too I think Shane Meadows is a superb film producer/director ( Paul S should do the artistic direction ) His working class type of film would suit the N/S scene as most of it was made up of working class folks Ive watched all Shanes movies and they've become cult movies So I would expect nothing less than and N/S movie with everything told as it was warts and all Mand

Im sure folks are sick of these two pics the first is 2008 the second I dont know probably 80s ish!

Living in Notts now. Palias building still exists, called "Oceana" or summat. Just a townie sorta place these days. Used to go when ther was a revolving dance floor downstairs. jonathon used to dj?? Ill take a pic when I can and post it ( if I can work out how!) Pablo

C'mon Chris name some Djs!! Mand

Anyone remember the resident/regular Djs? Soul Sam (Martin Barnfather) John Poole Andy Lee ??? Kev Roberts Anymore for anymore Jog my memory Mand

PMSL!! OOOer missus!

Happy happy days Simon Mand

Del ....If you're not looking for it you won't find it! Mand

I watched "dreamgirls" the other day for the first time I enjoyed the start of the movie ...but boy oh boy it turned into a pile of drivelling shite at the end ..it didnt know wether it was a musical or not. I watched Ray when that came out .... I absolutely loved it ..they told his story warts and all ..bought the sound track too As did I buy Once upon a time in wigans when i went to see that I want to see "the honeydripper" next to see what thats all about I would love to see the N'S scene represented as it should be warts and all And someone further up the thread mentioned sex ...I thought alll those drugs shrunk your pinkle so who was getting any???LOL

The sound track ???????they've gotta be bloody kiddin!!! Mand

Nige I hope they don't get that stupid druggie to star in it ..that would be me not even bothering to go see it. I went to see Once upon a time in wigan and altho I didnt attend wigan it still represented the n/s scene as I knew it. And gave me a great buzz I'd want the film to be in the same ilk maybe even following a soulguy/girl around the numerous clubs in the 70's/80's Did you see the previous offering? I think Shane Meadows should do an n's story along with Paul S I think they'd get it right Mand

LOLOL Yeah yeah laff it up

Simon what year were these?? Mand

A banging oldies set???? You'll do for me Debs As For Mr Poole I think we would have to ask him kindly (pretty pretty please) Btw the dancefloor is still dancable in the ballroom Did you see the other thread about my recent visit? I rung the bell and the gave me a tour in the daytime when it was closed Debs you'd have been dancing on that floor the same years as me how wierd is that! probably bumped into each other on it too! LOL And if it did come off I want ticket no 1 Mand

Yes bazabod "keeping the faith " does tend to attract religious nuts Another funny thing is getting paranoid at someone staring at my chest to then realise the're reading my wigan t shirt

no matter which thread you post on debs if it has the words notts and palais you can find me and sister dawn in there somewhere!! BTW Debs up for a reunion? and have you got any pics of the alldayers/nighters queuing round the block??...Ah I remember that red brick wall! And Dawn hows about a DJ spot for you???? Mand xx

No mate we need some kind/rich/local/promoter type person to think of it then put it as their idea first Seriously though if anyone is interested it can be booked privately ( the ballroom) Im pretty sure when I visited and took the tour and browsed the website for oceana that I read it somewhere I could enquire as to how much a private ticket only do would cost then put feelers out as to how much interest it would attract Mand

awww Carrie wear a N/S te shirt see if that catches anyone eye! Mand
