WOULD BE OM A PAR TO BOBBY HUTTON SINGING LEND A HAND I KNOW ITS NOT THE MOST SOULFULL SONG IN THE WORLD BUT IT WAS SUCH A HUGH RECORD AT THE PIER AND AS A 15 YEAR OLD LAD IT JUST BLEW ME AWAY IT WAS ONE OF THOSE RECORDS AS WITH MANY OTHERS THAT MADE CLEETHORPES THAT BIT DIFFERENT JUST A QUICK ONE IS CLEETHORPES WINTER GARDENS THE LONGIST RUNNING VENUE IN THE UK 1974 UPTILL NOW I THINK IME NOT SURE WHEN THE FIST NIGHTER THERE WAS BUT THERE ARE PLANS AFOOT TO REDEVELOP IT INTO LUXURY FLATS IF IT IS THE LONGIST RUNNING VENUE THEN IT SHOULD BE HIGHLIGHTED FOR PROSPERITY

SEE YOU THERE KTF

Mmmmm don't know about that has the Pier been putting on regular events all that time or has there been a return to the pier.

I would have thought that the 100 Club with 25 years continuously would have been the longest runnning regular nighter ever. And a big prat on the back is deserved for all those involved especially you know who ;o))

John

Bloody hell Johnny, what has Ady done to upset you that you wish him a big prat on his back ?

Ear don't go putting worms into my mouth many's the slip between cup and the lip ....................or summat ;o))

THE PIER AND THE WINTER GARDENS ARE TWO SEPERATE VENUES THE POLICE STOPPED THE NIGHTERS IN THE SEVENTIES SO MARY CHAPMAN STARTED RUNNING ALLDAYERS AT THE WINTER GARDENS THESE RAN WELL INTO THE EIGHITIES THEN LIKE MOST EVENTS AT THAT TIME SHE HAD TO STOP THEM

THE WHERE ONE OR ONE OFF SPECIALS AFTER THAT, UNTILL STEVE WOMBLE TOOK UP THE RAINS AND WE HAVE BEEN BLEESED WITH NORTHERN SOUL BACK AT THE WINTER GARDENS ON A REGULAR BAISIS FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS OR SO, UNSURE OF PRECISE TIME SCALE. UNFORTUNATLY THE PIER AS IT WAS WAS SOLD OFF AND TURNED INTO A NIGHTCLUB AND AS SUCH IS FULL OF KIDS OFF THE HEADS DANCING TO RAVE MUSIC (SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE) WE ALSO HAVE REGULAR NIGHTS AT THE CHARTDALE CLUB AGAIN RUN BY STEVE WOMBLE

PLUS A MONTHLY NIGHT RUN THE REFORMED EAST COAST CONNECTION SOUL CLUB AT THE MEMORIAL HALL SO IF YOU COUNT THE BEACHOLME WEEKENDER THAT AN'T BAD FOR A SMALL SEASIDE TOWN

"FOR ME THE DIPLOMATS / SKULLSNAPS DOING I'ME YOUR PIMP AT CLEETHORPES (WILL IT HAPPEN ??????)

WOULD BE OM A PAR TO BOBBY HUTTON SINGING LEND A HAND "
