Tomangoes Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 Going back through some old mags the other day got me thinking of various venues over the years and ONE record that instantly made the memories flood back. I found its not always the 'best' record that came first!) Starting off: Baileys Doncaster - Five and a penny - you dont know where your interest lies Brickyard Mexboro - Al Kent - The way youve been acting lately Assembly rooms Rotherham - Jeanette White - Music Windmill Rotherham - Jody Mathis - Dont you care anymore Cleethorpes Winter Gardens - Rain - Out of my mind Wakefield Trinity Hall - Seventh Wonder - Captain of my ship Green Dragon Thurcroft - Bobby Womack - Home is where the heart is Soul in the sun Tenerife - Sam the sham - Wully Bully Over to you.........

Oldies Room - Lee Roye -Tears, Herbie Hunter - Born To Love You, Joe Hicks - Don't It make You Feel Funky. ATB Mike Hi Mike Others that I heard there for the first time include Tony Middleton - Paris Blues (sounded really really slow in the current climate) of , Maurice Williams - Being without you , The Ellingtons - Destined to become a loser, Jewells - We Got Togetherness,, Quite a number of what became known as Wigan tunes were broke at the Ivo centre. Happy memories indeed And the oldies room possibly the darkest place ever... Lee Roye & HB Barnum stand out for me in there, and jumping off the terraced seating round the walls...
Autumnstoned Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 As you say, oldies room St Ives almost pitch black apart from the light above the DJ's decks and when the doors opened at back or down the front.
Soulman Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) Wigan Casino - Will Collins: Anything i can do Nottm Palais - Wolfman: Strange Cleethorpes winter gdns - Flame n king: oh happy day Clifton hall- The Magnetics: lady in green The Painted lady - Phil Coulter: a good thing going (seriously) The After 8(Grantham) - Lou Johnson: unsatisfied ok, a couple of them were'nt the biggest clubs on the scene, but they were always busy and always popular Jesus Christ.... Someone actually remembers the After 8 Club. It was a dive but the music was great. What a sad occasion though when at one of the all-dayers, right in the middle of Rob Smith's spot, some hooligans decided to rip apart a teddy bear in the middle of the dance floor. There was stuffing all over the place while I was trying to dance to Toni Basil's "Breakaway" which was huge at the time. As for the memories of record and venue's... Richard Searling playing Curtis' "How Can I Tell Her" at the Clifton Hall in Rotherham and the floor being alive with the Preston Street Dancers. Now that's a memory that will stay with me.
