Guest Mrs M Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Anyone remember the soul nites at The Claremont in Edinburgh about 15 years or so ago? Top night, great times. First heard Rob Marriott play "My Proposal" first time out. Blew me and Micky Cruise away that night. Those were the days.

Guest Mrs M Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) Still got my anniversary tapes my good friend Melv. Mark Wilson bought My Proposal that night off Rob. Music was amazing, DJ's amazing and the attendees were all great people. Some of the best nights of my time on the Scene thanks to Mark W, Acky and the wee laddies xx Edited January 7, 2011 by Mrs M
Windlesoul Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 (edited) Yes fab times indeed (maybe nearer 18 - 20 years ago?), as organised by my SS namesake (and often confused with that)! Annette and I remember these nights very fondly when I was at college in Edinburgh. Just one of a string of quality Scottish soul dos in the late 80s / early 90s, and a great atmosphere in the basement on busy nights! Great company, great music. Edited January 8, 2011 by mark w.
steve walls Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 One of the best run nights around at the time. Cracking venue , although the ceiling was a bit on the low side for Big Rob.
The Tempest Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) How weird !!! Was only talking to a bloke at Blackpool last weekend on the subject of sounds you first heard / dj's played at certain nights and mine's was this on their 1st Annv Cassette tape !!!!! Top soul night indeed Edited January 14, 2011 by 123-motown
charliew Posted May 7, 2011 Posted May 7, 2011 IMHO probably the best nights ive ever attended in scotland, musicaly subline, rob marriott, pete lowrie, soul sam, john pownie, keith money etc to name but a few top class dj,s playing things like haynes cotton black wings, trends thanks for a little loving, jordon bros aint no big thing, charles diamond gotta find a new love, magnetics i had a girl, new wanderers let me render my service, dave charles aint gonna cry no more & my proposal to name but a few quality tunes that graced the decks, such a great little club with its dividing wall between the bar and the dance floor asked about reviving it around 3 year ago but mick the owner said that all the entertainment laws etc had changed and it would be problamatic ? anyway big hand to Acky & Mark for leaving a cherished bit history for the scottish soul scene, regards charlie
