Memories Of The Casino

[manus]

Hi Manus

yeah think ur right, seem to remember something starting on the corner in a shop doorway (jewellers?), then it really kicked off. Seemed to be 3 or 4 onto one or two scruffy punks. Guess I was one of the young ones who got chased down into the carpark, and yep they lobbed stuff and we kindly threw it back to them. remember Ady hiting a soulie on the back of his head as the projectile slipped out of his hand

Grant

Crazy days Grant wouldn't have missed them for anything

Carlo had the best mum and dad in the world and his mum found me somewhere to live in 83....July

June Daly l remember well she used to go the soul nights atThe Dukes Club organised by Wrighty.....Cracking times,l met my ex-wife there...I said "What are you doing here!"

Nice bloke Carlo - haven't seen him for years last time was at one of the Southport weekenders late 80s I think.

Cheers

As Phil says, Carlo is still around, seen him a few times in the last 2 or 3 years.

[Guest Phoenix8049]

I remember getting there early one night.

And as we parked up in the car park jumping out the car and running behind a wall

cause i was bursting for a pee.

Halfway through a copper appears,and was nearly gonna nick me for it.

After begging and pleading and promising never to do it again,he let me off fortunatly.

I nearly crapped meself at the time though.

Stu.

I think maybe I don't get out enough Dave - it's a bit of a trek up north from Brighton and I start to get a nosebleed if I make it as far as Rugby these days I keep making new years lists of all the venues I'm going to visit but fail to make most of them.

[Guest martyn]

That floor was never dry to my knowledge.....Remember once seeing a lad throw up in there and in the vomit were black bombers and another lad pretending to care....Was picking them out of the vomit and gobbing them....

Remember one of my mates throwing up a belly full of black & whites in the pub bog before a Fleet allnighter , there was skid marks & all sorts down the pan but being the trooper he was he still picked them out & re-took them ..........Are you listening M L , I know you lurk on here

[Guest martyn]

OK , three non soul related memories ;

1) Tony Warot carrying a couple of records under his arm in the crush to get in .Harry Green asks "what you got under your arm mate?" Tony replies "hairs , what about you ?"

2) The Room behind the stage where we used to sit talking shite & where The Phantom Janitor used to keep his brushes ............who was that bloke ? Was he actully on the payroll or was he a random dosser who walked in & pilfered empty coke bottles . The bloke was like the undead .

3) Walking in through the double doors blocked & being hit by that heat ,seeing yourself in the mirror on that post & being hit by the sound , smell & condensation all in the same second ................Nothing comes close

[Guest topcatnumpty1]

The undead janitor guy--how scarey was he(about 4 stone wet thro with a face like a skull) on about that ---how shiney(worn with age) were thos "Bouncers"suits that Mike Walker,Harry Green and the above named scarey one used towear at All Nighters, also the "scarey one" must have been programmed cos he used to sleep at the bottom of the stairs (down fom Mr M,s ) about 5 a.m.--but he always woke up about 7-50 when Jimmy Radcliffe came booming out!!!!!1

I never actually saw him speak to anyone , people just got out of his way - what was his job ???I assumed he had to sweep up coz of his brush cupboard , but how would you sweep up during a nighter ? He had various nicknames ; The Skull , The Phantom etc , has anyone got a photo of him to show those that never came accross him how scarey he was ?

[Dave Raistrick]

One night in 1978,i.d arranged to meet DaveRaistrick in the record bar to buy about 5 big Detroit records off him,was sat on the Balcony looking 2 ward the record bar to see if he,d arrived (it was about 2 a.m whe my girlfriend at the time said he,s here---down we went ,Dave got out the records and i asked Pam for my wallet from her handbag(containing about £150--a fortune- then) and it wasn,t there!!!! after me shouting a lot,Mark Derbyshire from Northallerton says--"I.ll go to where we were sat ,it cud have dropped out of her handbag" all i cud see was Jimmy Mack on Palmer,Dena Barnes. etc going back to Skegness with Dave-----when we looked up to the Balcony to see Mark waving something in his hand---it was my wallet--still intact---now i,m not saying there were a lot of dodgy people went to the Casino,but i would have given long odds on getting that wallet back!!!!

Climbing up a drain pipe at the back of the Casino, moving over the roof, knocking on the top cloakrooms skylights, so that people could open them, so we could drop in, dead cool like..........Early doors being in the Beachcomber, that would be 1974ish......scary........... Having 10 roche 2s outside front door after being sold them as uppers. Remember being in the queue and feeling woozy as fook. Went in and slept outside mr ms all night. This girl from Reading stayed with me to make sure I was ok..............Remember being inside early one morning with the sun streaming through the windows and Johnny Bragg playin........Strange what you remember associated with records.....Remember walkin along the balcony having just come up the stairs near to the bogs, when Richard introduced "Here we have the Lebaron strings with I miss my baby" Turned round and ran down the stairs straight on to the dance floor and danced my bollocks off to it. There were only about 20 people on the floor. Obviously the Casino didnt have the song as Bari Track as yet but I knew it from Blackpool. That were a good moment...................Every time The Four Perfections came on I was coming down for some strange reason................One fit girl dressed in white dancing under the flourescent light. I think she came from Lancaster..........Gail from Wigan............Shady guys wandering around with flat caps on looking at you with wild eyes............A lad called Pecker from Royton, Oldham................First time I wore my new como shoes and these 2 guys wanted them off me on wigan bus station..............Yessir you had be alert in them days...................Travelling to Wigan in my mates dads car with the battery terminals held together with mole grips..........Being dropped off right outside in the main throng another night after babysitting earlier with a girl from Bolton called Anne Robertson in a top of the range jag..............Loads more...I wouldnt change a single thing.

3 Please....

1) Getting in.....Holding your adidas holdall above your head and your feet not touching the ground at times

2) The old fella who cleaned the blokes bogs......The most incompetent employer in the history of work

3) The stairs coming down from the balcony on the right hand-side where one of them( for some reason) was so much shorter than the rest

Anymore for anymore

Dave as you are the Undisputed King Of Skegness

Was that the town l sent away to for my patchwork bags....That were probably the heaviest item of clothing ever?

That would be 'BOGEYS' High St - Skegness - Long Gone !!

[Guest Nick Harrison]

Guy Hennigan constantly running his thumb and forefinger through his moustache, every bloody 20 seconds, all night every week in the record bar.

The Saturday night in the record bar with big Dave Thomas, watching Tim Casey cracking up, cause we had placed live matchsticks down everyone of his cigarettes, throughout his entire packet. Then Tim offering/sharing fags out to others from the same packet and loosing more friends. .

[Mrtag]

I remember dropping off one night at the back near the record bar and when I woke I tried to walk to the bar for a coke and some bas*ard had tied my laces together! nearly broke my fookin neck :yes:

[Koolkat]

l remember Gail from Wigan and her mate Dink. ....Did the fit girl in white have short blonde-hair??

No. Short dark hair. Just remember watching her dance and her skirt spinning out. Asked about her to people, I think thats were Lancaster comes in.

[Gilly]

Thats a very typical comment from Tony,and a Yate type of humour,bet Harrys still trying to work it out(them Wigan bouncers had no sense of humour)i still recall those famous words from Harry"no pushing at the back"i used to think to myself why dont the thick twat open the door and let us in then there wouldnt be any pushing at the back.

If the "fit girl dancing under......." had blond hair she may of been Jane Nichols from Halton,Lancaster.

On comming out of a hotel with Buggie Alison(Cheltenham)and Steve Whittle Gary Rushbrook who share birth dates some local guys just started throwing potatoes at us from accross the road.Buggie with his quick humour said they must of been aiming for his jacket,he paused for a second and said jacket potatoe

[Guest roggert]

Talking about Moggy Minors .......

I once accompanied three others in a very run down Moggy Traveller ( rust holding it together , the wood rotting away from the frame , springs poking through two of the seats ...... in fact , it ran on three star wing and a prayer ) . When we came out in the morning , we found the driver's side door had been opened . There was a note on the dashboard stating

" we were going to nick your car , but we felt sorry for you "

Malc

what a small world !my moggy thou had mushrooms growing in the wood work/window slides in the back -side windows due to the damp and rusty water dribbled in when it rained as well as shooting up through the holes in the floor oh and brakes that had to be pumped to slow down - i must have been insane or undr the influence of drugs to have driven it -----in fact so were all the others that used to pile into it along with the gasping engine an slipping clutch !!!!! oh the joys of motoring to allniters.

Remember going into the toilets once and a certain character ( not Dave Dthedrug) asking me if I wanted to buy some caps and then he pulled out a roll of caps for a cap gun - thought he was being clever until a DS came in and then there was a very hasty explanation of what he was carrying - was really funny and well deserved.

Coming out in the morning paranoid after an edgy night.

The place was full of DS - we had already been searched outside and saw the same DS in Mr M's later.

They all but strip searched us in the carpark but couldn't be bothered doing my car.

About 8am we got back to me car - a Moggy Minor , I kid you not.

It had wooden doors that had to be tied together to stop them falling off or opening when you went round a bend. It rained in so much the carpets froze in winter. Anyway I digress................

We get back to the car and there is a coach nearby which I swear was what the DS came in.

My mate whom I had given a lift to gets in the passenger side and opens my glove compartment and pulls out the biggest bag of pills I have ever seen.

"Good, they're still there," he says

Dropped a trip on the train to Wigan one evening,started to come up ,a mate unbeknown to us had taken a load of barbs.If you have ever seen a film slow down he was just like that,collapsed on the train floor.We had to get him on a mail trolley,into the lift,then into an ambulance.Went to the hospital,there was a couple of lads that had beeen fighting in casualty,in my state they looked like an explosion in an abbatoir.Eventually,was told my mate was ok,made the way to Station Rd,everything was Orange.....................it was the street lights,but EVERYTHING was orange.

Incidentally,the barbs killed my mate the next week.........................but thats another story.

Steve

[Davetay]

Barbs were ridiculous,Steve.....Kin loved them though...

Barbs put me off taking drugs for over 20 years.

I overdosed at Darwin Tiffs All-Dayer New Years Day 1975

Didn't do anything again till the late 90s when someone give me a E to try. kin loved it.

That was me f**ked up every weekend for the a few years.

1)Getting in/there-Never having the money but refusing to give up getting there and getting in-had some quite interesting escapes/captures,that back bridge at Wigan north western station got some usage;).

2)Friends-still after all these years keeping in touch or getting back in touch with old friends who now live in most parts of the world.

3)Being fed up on the sunday/monday when it was back to normal life,it was a downer even if you didn't take anything;).

THE BACK BRIDGE WAS KNOWN AS THE "IRON BRIDGE " AND WAS THE LEGENDERY MEETING PLACE WHERE SCHOOLKIDS FROM OTHER SCHOOLS WOULD MEET ON SATURDAY MORNINGS OR AFTER SCHOOL FOR A RUMBLE , WHAT A PLACE FOR AN AMBUSH .

MEETING MATES AT" SHOE SHOP CORNER " AND BRICKING IT "AS I WAITED ON MY OWN, TRYING NOT TO MAKE EYE CONTACT WITH THE PUNKS .

four "bikers" getting on the train between manchester n' wigan .... train full to the brim with soulies and they decided to start a fight

ended up with communication cord pulled .. bikers jumped off and started throwing bricks through train windows..... train sped off and we were herded like animals at the other end with police dogs n all .... frisked up n down as always lol ... bikers got away i guess..

down to my y fronts in the car park while they searched my cortina

steaming like a racehorse when you went for a piss ...

Hi the night in question it was Calafornia Sunshine that we took, a few weeks later one of the lads had a Strawberry Fields he had a bad trip and ended up crying all night,

Like you I never had a bad trip, in the summer of 74 there was alot of Purple Pyramid going around up our way and I found that was nice as well.
