Dennisoul Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) There were some fantastic tunes played at Allanton/ Shotts allnighters....it ran for about 4 and a half years from 87- 91 and created a lot of memories, the first few bars of many tunes that are still played today are enough to evoke some of the finest memories.....Ive posted up a couple that used to take the roof off !!....if you were there and can add to list please do...

Guest Byrney Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Ruby Johnson Weak Spot Little Beaver C/u for Kitch and Dean, sure it was first spun here after their joint to trip to the states? Joyce Kennedy I'm a good Girl Lou Roberts? C/U for Kitch
Guest Byrney Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 What will be apparent is that like other nighters many of these tunes were played elsewhere e.g. Stafford, Blackburn, Casino etc but they took on a life of their own at Ruff Cutt. Tony Clarke Wrong Man Embers You Can Lump it (I know is the Seminoles below - same recording though). Martha Starr. love is The Only Solution Carol Anderson Taking my Mind Off Love
jocko Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Ooh I like this, feeling melancholy today and this helps. Mr Byrne was right, most records did have some exposure elsewhere, some were massive elsewhere but generally we were like Magpies and picked those that hadn't yet made it and sounded right here. However some big not yet widely known records Allanton has to take credit for introducing such as Willie G and Mack Rice above, new c/u at Allanton, mostly Colin, and then there was this. Bumbling along, Chris Plant, Butch, Gary R all having tried it but not too much, than 7.25 at Allanton...... 3
jocko Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 And then, Dean Anderson's tip, bubbling under, then it came North, to Colin and I and the rest is OurStory, not aged well but bloody hell it worked back then 2
Popular Post jocko Posted February 20, 2013 Popular Post Posted February 20, 2013 And definitely not an Allanton record, huge 100 Club, but then anniversary single, I got 2! And 7.52 at Allanton, whipping up a frenzy, off to blow my nose now.... 4
