Mal C Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 (edited) You have all probably seen this a hundred times, what the hell, lets watch it again.... the bit at the end after 'Stand by Me' really is the business, shot outside the club, milkman in the background, cut to Bud Harper and the dance floor, bloody Brilliant...!!!

Geeselad Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 This clip on the whistle test promted me to get into the scene, a few months later I was attending. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Amsterdam Russ Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I was there that night and feature in the clip a couple of times - for about half a second in total On the night, the camera man was kneeling on the floor beside me filming close-ups of my feet whilst dancing. I reckon the blur of my footwork must have been too fast for them and that's why it wasn't included Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I was also there that night (cue a flood load of similar posts a la Sex Pistols at the 100 Club!) and apart from the filming can recall some guy having a 50 count box of 'sales discs' there...I say 'sales' but most weren't actually for sale when you asked for a price...was more of a 'look what I've got' box! I wouldn't have minded but there was a Professionals in there (ties in nicely with another thread running!). I also spot the 'Two Marks' in the record room...take a bow Mark Oliver and Mark George...respect to you both! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Chalky Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Well Mr Flynn, I actually wasn't at that one Derek Greenhoff can be spotted in e record bar. Old mate Gary Zoboki dancing on it as well if I remember rightly. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I reckon the blur of my footwork must have been too fast for them and that's why it wasn't included Was that at the edge of the dancefloor, near the top of the stairs, if so me and some of the Preston Lads, that famous lawfirm, Mercer, Stanhope and Kellet were behind the guy kneeling and trying to pour water in his camera to put him off, really hated the filming at that time. But look back on that now and wish there had been more like this, fairly sympathetic and a great snapshot of fantastic times and people, some no longer here. Certainly wish I had got my fizzog on a couple of them now rather than running away looking like a Tarsier! I also remember the box Mr Flynn, that wasn't one of Mr Powney's early appearance was it, he did that a couple of times although suspect that was earlier. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

It was certainly by the edge of the dance floor, but I don't recall the location of the stairs relative to it. So possibly then you and your mates were responsible for putting off the camera man and depriving me of my moment of Northern Soul dance floor glory. A quarter of a century later, all I can say is cheers - thanks a lot, mate! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Don't think it was him...oddly enough I recounted this story to GuyH and he said that it was a fairly common practise during the 70's to just 'display' rather than sell. Jump forward to 2012 and nowadays folk post up disc pictures in wants threads saying they have it, here it is, but it's not for sale! 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Stuart Bower Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Tony's. Loved this place. I practically lived here when MYK Productions had it.. Had some great times. Lost quite a bit of sweat. Bought quite a bit of vinyl here. Made a lot of friends. Had some great laughs. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Little-stevie Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Was i there that night, can'r remeber now... Many a good time at Tony's... Good point by Jocko, most folk did not like the camera being there, me included... Would like to see more footage from my early years on the scene now, just not much out there on film or in photo.. Go a pack of photos from Bradford Queens Hall, Warrington Parr Hall that i have never really shown on the net, will get them up one day.... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Mark Jones Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Recorded on the trusty old VHS! Then a few years later to youtube! Did I get the year right then 87? Bit later maybe? Wasn't there that night, attended a few but wouldn't call myself a regular thus the vagueness! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Mark R Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Glyn Reardon and the ex Mrs Freeman in there at about 4:57........old travelling companion Andy (Andyontherock) Newman and ex Mrs Tracey on there too. Great footage that, though I never personally went to Tony's. I've got all this stuff on VHS somewhere but never really marked up the tapes for most of it..............not sure it will ever see the light of day, which is a shame! :-(( Cheers, Mark R Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

billmarr Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Didnt get back into scene until around 98, ( not that it ever leaves you), thought the northern scene had died a death after Casino so thought i'd try the wife & kids thing, the wife bit didnt work out, then found out the scene was still alive & kicking and Tony's was one of the first places i went and was a regular every month, brilliant nighter where i met many good friends who i still see to this day.

Guest Byrney Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) Nipped out from the filming for Elaine's film yesterday to have a stroll down. Not been there since Guy's Soultown nighters, Tony's is still there; the road down to it now pedestrianised, brought back a few good memories. Made better by then seeing some of the old Soultown faces back on the film set and all on good form. Edited August 12, 2012 by Byrney Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
