Around that time of Shelleys I also went a decent soul night at Florence Colliery Club, just a few miles down the road.......not sure how many were held there, but can only remember going once.

I know there has been soul events there in recent years, but did anyone go back then, and was it just a one off?

Can't even remember DJing at that Starsound Allnighter @ The Princess Suite on the above flyer....but that must be the only flyer I've ever seen with my full name rather than my nickname.

John Cope on that same flyer may have been the guy with the TV shop in Tunstall and knocked about with Clowsey?

rememder going an all dayer at romeo & juliets in hanley / seem to remember elvis costello was on at the victoria hall the same day !!

Where was Romeo & Juliets, did thet used to be the Steam Machine? I went an alldayer there & Gary Fulcher got beat up by a bouncer, had to go the cop shop as a witness & Sham 69 were in there. Got arrested while playing at the Vicky Hall, think they broke into a kiosk to steal some chewing gum.
