Pete, on the long Yate thread there's a big list that Mikey did, should give you an idea...
Guest in town Mikey Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Mine would probably be Rufus Lumley - Stronger Than Me (Still my all time fav) Willie and the Mighty Magnificents - Souling (Covered as frankie Crocker Danger Zone) Marva Hicks - Looking Over My Shoulder The Brothers.......ooops thats 4 so I'll stop there.
Pete S Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Pete, on the long Yate thread there's a big list that Mikey did, should give you an idea... Cheers Jerry, if you come across it could you give us the link as if I search for Yate it'll probably bring up 10 pages worth!

funkyfeet Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Seem to remember these two being big yate spins: BOBBY HANNA - EVERYBODY NEEDS LOVE (UK DECCA) MARION RYAN - BETTER USE YOUR HEAD (UK PHILIPS)
Ian Parker Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 sounds very much like the late 70's Nottm palais playlists. some good tunes listed in that compilation
Ged Parker Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Sounds like any venue from around that time. I'm sure Yate broke many sounds but on my two visit the only trach I can remember hearing there for the first time was Marva Whitney - Looking Back Over My Shoulder. In fact I bought it on the strength of hearing it then. Like I say must have broke other stuff but the biggest tunes there appeared to me at least to be the big tunes anywhere.

Obscurity will play its part, but take the highlighted track by the Shamettes. I am pretty sure the only other venue I've heard this played in, was when Irish Greg gave it plays at the Dome. i take your point that stuff like Larry Allen etc would have been countrywide plays.
Guest gordon russell Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 capitols was first played here by the mighty IAN CLARKE.........however l went round to steve cooper from bedford the next day and yep he had a nice mint issue that he,d got from myles grayson TWO years earlier which he sold to me for 26 english pounds...peggy b
Greety Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 It's going to be a bit inconclusive, this thread, I think. How do you gauge the biggest records? I suppose it has to be dance floor reaction. And if that is the case there would be dozens. Let's not forget this was back in the day when people were far more "energetic". Yate was also very oldies orientated, even then. Clarkie was always the most forward thinking dj there, although most of us had our moments. The crowd there were great. You probably could'nt have cleared the floor with a hand grenade at any time of the night. So if you can figure out the most popular records played there, well done!! I always remember these three from my box doing pretty well. Marie Knight. That's no way to treat a girl. Gerri Grainger. I go to pieces. Frankie beverley. Because of my heart.
Wiggyflat Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 (edited) Pretty sure Pookie Hudson was a Yate spin Edited June 25, 2010 by wiggyflat
Guest bunty Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 I didn't actually go to Yate!..... but my friend Pete who is here with me did! and he says: Dobie Gray - Honey You Can Take it Back was a huge play at Yate also the other big one from Dobie Gray on White Whale was probably first played at Yate ... supplied by one of the Welsh boys!
Professorturnups Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 Went there 3 times 1. Mini-bus caught fire so we arrived at 4 am 2. Went by train and fell asleep (not actually on the train) 3. Got caught in a freak snow storm (end of April) Spent the night in Membury Services Great Niter though!! Mark C
Guest mickeyb Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 Pretty sure Pookie Hudson was a Yate spin Deffo got played, but it reminds me of Wigan more - last time I heard it out Levine was playing it at Valatone (the one round the back of Euston station in a working men's club) about ten years ago. Memories of Yate for me:- Clarkie - 4 Perfections, Prince & Princess,Ty Karim Tony - Evil one - Sapphires, There's no stopping us now - Supremes, Stop - Helen Shapiro (he pissed himself when I asked for Dana Valery C/U ) Greety - Inspirations, Marie Knight, California Montage (sorry Dave, it wasn't your best but I always used to ask you for it). Shay - John Drevars (did he break this?) Roch - Hesitations, Superlatives, Billy Davis Hippo - Whiskey talking, Interplay, Muriel Day (only cos some wan*er nicked it off you the night we sold it to you) Paul Guntrip - Be's that way sometimes, Tomorrow is a brand new day - Norman (Noonie?) Rickett Dave Thorley - Brainstorm, The Miracles, Vala Regan, Jimmy and Vella Cameron (this was truly massive) Mac - The Star Treks Bob Turner''s Motown spot upstairs. Sorry if I've missed anyone. I'm sure there were much better tunes played, but this is how I remember it and, of course, Im verr verr drunk.
Jerry Hipkiss Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 Memories of Yate for me:- Hippo - Whiskey talking, Interplay, Muriel Day (only cos some wan*er nicked it off you the night we sold it to you) Whoa there Michael - a slur on my name! Think your memory must finally be shot - I've NEVER (to my knowledge) had a copy of Muriel Day!!! And the only 45 I can really remember having nicked was my April Stevens issue at Worcester Racecourse on a Monday night...and I've never yet gone public with my suspicions:no: ...we'll have to discuss this further over a beer!

I know I used to get in some rare old conditions at Yate , but I thought it was all upstairs on the 1st floor of the building ???????????

I know I used to get in some rare old conditions at Yate , but I thought it was all upstairs on the 1st floor of the building ??????????? Definitely had another room upstairs obviously a bit smaller as had a 2 room night for anniversary if I'm not mistaken (?) Dave T could confirm. Pete
macca Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 don't want to fart in church here as I never attended said venue but the shamettes was hammered, and I mean hammered, by soul sam at st.ives throughout 77. I hated it, as I did his other turkey of the time, the camp 'marching' .
Guest martyn Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 (edited) Yep....defo.used for Jazz-Funk til Denis from Gloucester got to hear about it Went to Yate every nighter in 78/79 & don't remember a second room at all , quite a worry , has anyone any photo's ? I must have gone in there if it was there Edited July 1, 2010 by martyn

I must have gone in there if it was there Hiya Martyn, Don't think upstairs was open every fortnight, but there was bit of a Jazz Funk/Mecca thing going on up there for a while. Also at least one Motown night - hence my comment above. I really liked it up there but it could be a bit dodgy - it was a bit darker and some of the naughtier side of our fraternity used to seem to prefer it up there. Plus there was more room (cos obviously not everyone knew about it) for all the nutters to f*ck about up there - so they did. Remember the Brum crowd up there tripping their tits off and having a right laugh at everyone else's expense .

Sorry Jerry but I remember this really well. Me and Mark went junking in Wiltshire on a Saturday. Got a load of Chess R&B stuff for nothing in Swindon which I gave away a while later (wasn't worth anything in those days) to Eamesy I think. Got f**k all everywhere else we went until we landed in Chippenham - loads of 60's pop including Muriel Day which we both know was (and still is) utter shite, but it was massive at Wigan at the time. We sold it to you (£10?) - as I recall you didn't want it for its aesthetically pleasing soulful qualities, but you knew it would go down well on the dancefloor. Some dastardly cad nicked it off you before you played it. I know for a fact it wasn't the same dastardly cad who taught the big headed kid with loads of money, and top sounds that nobody could buy or play, a lesson though!

Wish I could remember it mate , I had some fantastic nights at Yate but over the years Ive forgotten a lot of detail . I remember the balcony at the steps outside , the lift , the dwarf wall at the back of the dance floor , the pool table & the scrapping in the car park with Bristol City . Can't for the life of me remember the 2nd room though Is the place still there BTW ?

Eamesy Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 Was probably my favourite all nighter after Wigan, only missed one till about October 79. Played in the little upstairs room a few times, wasn't open for many nights tho - i don't think! As Greety said - hardly ever any room on the dance floor. Used to enjoy the fun in the back room behind DJ box, lots of fun in there - some high stakes card games too!! Well remember being barred from just about every local pub on Sundays, till we settled at The Dog i think - quite often still in car park at 5pm Sunday. Great days indeed will try & post up some photos!! Alan
Guest Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 stevecee where are you? the man with a memory and photos he'll probably be able to tell us what was played by who, and on what night i remember when Nik Mack was running it we had a bloke called Mike Kempton guest DJ'ing some funk stuff in the main room. funkadelic - one nation under a groove (and other sh*te like that)
Guest in town Mikey Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 Not ben to Yate itself in years. Vince Ayers should know, He's an old Yate dweller. The venue was there last time I went. Ironically the shop closest to it was called Superdrug. I only ever went into the other room once. There was a card game going on with some very serious guys. There was enough money on the table to have made a serious dent in the number of records for sale.
Guest bazabod_downunder Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 (edited) I never tire of recalling memories of what was imo one of the best alnighter venues ever.................the BJ Thomas track was of course 'I Don't Have A Mind Of My Own' .....The Miracle Workers I still have in my box, cheap as chips but priceless to me, I used to have a 12" of Mirslav Vitos - New York City, Dave Thorley used to spin a track by George 'someone', can't remember the track title either, mid tempo with bongos....all I can recall is that it used to get me a bit emotional....I have a tape somewhere that I recorded one night, I'll look for it & list the plays.

Guest Cariad Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 Just remembered possibly the best one 'Stronger Than Me-Rufus Lumley :thumbup:Defo Webby...........only went to Yate twice, heard this both times and it is still my all time favourite........even if my mother says it sounds like Neil Sedaka:ohmy: I used to nag Rob Anthony to play this at least twice at every Porthcawl nites.......yep it was my fault the mortal sin of playing a tune more than once took place:blush: but it was usually at 8pm as soon as we got through the door for the first spin but the whole bus had had to listen to it at least 3 times on the way there
Guest Cariad Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 just to add a few spanners into the mix............... wasn't 'Yate' held at several different venues throughout its history:g: I'm sure I went to 2 different places on my attendances, one a leisure centre:unsure: And I remember 2 rooms........told in no uncertain terms to stay in the main room or I wasn't allowed to go again, and Dur watched me & Jayne like a hawk so that we didn't stray

Guest martyn Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 First 'shop' on the right l seem to remember.....and up the stairs! Or in the lift if you were one of the important people ...........................Only ever went up in the lift once myself , jibbed in carrying Tony Warots records
Guest martyn Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 What kin lift!!?? Definatly a lift .....................................................I think . Getting all kinds of self doubt about the lay out of the place now , the lift was , if I remember right , on the wall to your left if you were looking at the decks across the dance floor from the pool table over the top of the dwarf wall .

I only went up in the lift the once , so I may have its position wrong . I'm glad someone has confirmed there was a lift , I was begining to think I was going senile ..............I wish there were more photo's of Yate knocking about , I had some great times there but unlike Wigan , St Ives etc etc there don't seem to be many images to remind me of the exact layout of the place
