Still resident at Rugby All-niter.

I've got a tape from the decks at that all-niter, I'll check out the play list tomorrow and see what was on it.

Off the top of my head:

Mind & Matter - Under your spell

Harold Melvin - Prayin'

Solid Gold Revue - She's so good

Gwen McCrae - Keep the fires burning

Marlena Shaw - I just want that feeling to last

Nite Flyte - All about love

Charles Johnson - Never had a love so good

and now it's too late to remember...

This was my first true journey into deepest darkest allnighter land !

Me & my mate had just turned 15 yrs and were well involved into the " CASUAL " element of the football side of things !

We both finished school and told both sets of parents we were staying at each others , Falkirk train to Glasgow , Glasgow south changed at Birmingham arriving late ! Change to Leicester !!!

Dodging " Casual " crews throughout , we arrived later that evening ,

Happy days ,

Saturday morning , invited to a couple of away games , but we're only baby / youth !!!!!!!!

All lot has been said regarding the " Casual " element of the scenes involvement , but I bear a witness to " RIVALS " that afternoon and " BROTHERS " that night , ah the 80's !!!!!

hi thanks happy days i forgot about charles johnson record great:thumbup: the list would be helpful some great sounds adam had

ho happy day remember dancing to that what stomper on the video

Bloody hell Phil, you got about didn't ya...

It was defo called Nottingham Oddfellows - short for - Nottingham Imperial Order Of Oddfellows Club & Institute - a private members club, so not sure how Ally Mayer secured an all-niter there but so glad he did.

It was the nearest all-niter to us in them days...

Bottom right hand picture - that's my ex girlfriend Jenny.

er... carry on

Lady in red

Pretty sure quite a few assorted black country types & wheatsheaf regulars are in these photos. In the top right hand photo I think the lad in the red sweatshirt is Steve Powell, and the lady with her back to the camera is his wife? Oddfellows always had a good turnout from our area.

Also of course the irrepressible, exuberant, lovely human being known to one and all as Pickle (R.i.p.) appears in the same photo.

I always thought of it as a Niter that didn't take itself too seriously, even though they had some of the best dj's around at the time, which made it special in its own way. I love getting the old videos out and watching them, being transported back to a happier, more free and easy time. Like wise when I'm out somewhere whenever I hear a tune that I think of as an Oddfellows tune....

Heres a shoot from the Oddfellows 1983 I posted awhile ago

If you wanted to know anybody from LEICESTER in the 70's CLICK was the one. Now he was a bit of a laddo.Respect.
