Dave Raistrick Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Rick, fond memories of the 'niters at the Drill Hall in Lincoln - Chris booked me on several occasions in the late 70s. Funniest memory, playing 'Prince' 'I wanna be your lover' at 7am to a northern crowd.

Guest Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Steve Croft and after dark had it for a few, one place i'll never forget.
Guest martyn Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) Went there once - 1980 I think . Richard Searling was the guest DJ & Mr Warot made a pig of himself on the real ale in a pub in the town centre before hand ....Its a good job we had some medicine handy to revive his flaging spirits . Was the first time I had heard a lot of Richards latest modern tracks properly away from the casino . Had a cracking night so its got me scratching my head as to why I only went the once Edited June 27, 2011 by martyn
Gilly Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Remember going at least once and maybe twice,as for anything else i dont recall.Gilly
Ion T Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Guy Hennigan and I did one or two dates there under the Soultown banner in the mid 80s. It was a great space with a fantastic floor, high ceilings and statues set in the walls. Sad to say, attendances was poor and we knocked it on the head. The funniest thing was turning up to view it and finding the masonic regalia laid out and ready for action! All best Ion 1

westrex Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Went there once - 1980 I think . Richard Searling was the guest DJ & Mr Warot made a pig of himself on the real ale in a pub in the town centre before hand ....Its a good job we had some medicine handy to revive his flaging spirits . Was the first time I had heard a lot of Richards latest modern tracks properly away from the casino . Had a cracking night so its got me scratching my head as to why I only went the once I remember that night martyn, l got absolutely spannered on "NUN's HABBIT", a real and potent ale, thank goodness for the "medicine", l might have been very ill had we forgotten to bring it along!! ALSO. . it was the night l got "ANYTHING I CAN DO" by Will Collins & Willpower on 'Bareback' records (demo) for £15 off jonathon woodcliffe. As usual we had to stop Bev Lucas from knocking 7 bells out of an innocent victim of bev's lust for skinhead supremacy, but we had aght good night regardless although the journey across the vast county of Lincolnshire was frought with difficulty in navigation. Oh yes, good times. Tony Warot.
Daveyboy66 Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) I remember going to Dave Appleyard's in Boston with my mates Ray Hudson, Pete Shirley and Alan Rawlinson then off to Lincoln... had some great nights there...good times Edited May 13, 2012 by daveyboy66
harpo1 Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 Went one Friday with Chris Plant, Dawn and Dave Shaw, Chris was a guest DJ. We asked a local for directions, he picked up a piece of wood and tried to hit the car,, what a start. When we were inside it was freezing and nobody had any fags, until during the night some enterprising locals went out and robbed some!! It want down as a night to be talked about as one of those memorable for the wrong reasons, but still unforgettable, may have been the same night my old mate Mr Warrot was there, was around that time Harpo

sister dawn Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Did that place have a lot of glass in it's roof? It had quite a few skylights in which were ok in the winter but not so good for the summer. 1

Mike Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 while can understand the thinking behind using old threads for raising awareness for revival events it doesn't really work well for the forums if just posting the event details we do have an event guide where members can pass on news, info on events direct to members and we do have a news article feature more info here on the news/article feature https://www.soul-source.co.uk/articles/news-soul/articles-2016-soul-source/ am going to temp close this thread as best use the event guide post for any talk on the actual event cheers
