Chris L Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 what happened to the Rocket niters? also , anyone know where the 'all nighter club' cards were valid? The Rocket was a valiant but doomed attempt at a proper Norvern Sowl venue in London, if you went (and I'm guessing you did) it could never attract enough real NS fans (they live up norf why would you travel darn to Lunden wear its all expensive and all that when you have the real thing on your doorstep) and it got filled up with non NS students who treated like any other London club and its days were numbered. Had some great nights there, Sandi Sheldon being one of them. Chris L

I do remember a lot of youngsters (nothing wrong with that of course) attending. was a huge place with a seperate room nearby for different moozik. i also saw some bloke/singer from the 5 stairsteps?? sing live one night. but the most memorable thing for me was actually being able to park right outside on the road (A1) and going in to an 'all night' shop next door . i'd never seen a shop open after 10pm before

Chauffeur Sandi Sheldon around all night Edited January 1, 2010 by Chris L

Just talking about Matt Jahans the other day.

Just talking about Matt Jahans the other day. I remember another scary place Sitting outside in the car waiting to go into the Mousetrap all-nighter at Finsbury Park, we heard two gunshots & then saw a police van pull up next to us, then the police jumped out & ran into a store up the road & dragged some chap out onto the street floor Debbie x
