Chalky Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Jim O'Hara is writing some words about the Ruff Cutt bunch. The plan is to do an article with him about the nighter with top 20's/30's from the DJ's and I will hopefully doing podcasts of each DJ...that is the plan hopefully. Give the club the recognition it is due. Great nighter, no bollocks just a room full of loons having a great time! Guy's coach's, more like a holiday the time it took Dean Anderson's mini bus.....car trips with Celtic, what happened to him? I will be in touch Andy and Jock. 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

jocko Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) Andrew, nostalgia is contagious young man. And enough about other DJ's lets talk about me..... or okay maybe not, maybe about the people behind the DJ's. Most of us were lucky to be getting records tipped on a weekly basis, some have gone on to be, some to be claimed by radio jocks as their's many years later, one of the finders of records was the promoter himself, Mr O'Hara, in between looking good for the ladies and ordering the people in the tea bar around he did have an ear for a tune too. He tipped me these two and a couple of Allanton legends were born.... Mandrill Too Late, - played so much my cue burn lasts about 7 seconds Isley Brothers - My Love , now a crossover classic, then it was a nighter floor filler, the tempo terrorists were away on their training camps Edited February 23, 2013 by jocko 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
jocko Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 And of course the Sassenachs, they had a tip or two, none more so then the Betached Andy Whitmore (although we now know Suzanne was the real brains behind the organisation) These were 3 of the best among the 100's he tipped all that time ago, he charged me between £8 and £12 for these 3, (tight git) and all went on to gain some levels of popularity at that little miners hut in the back of beyond. Long before the tent boys appeared to claim them as their own...

jocko Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Right one more before I go off to remind my dear old mum of the time I took a whole mini bus back from Allanton to my old flat that was getting done up so only had one socket in use, so we had to alternate between kettle and tape player, people went thirsty as you would imagine. My new neighbors got a glimpse of what was to come. And one of the biggest influences on me then musically was Dave Molloy, supplied me with numerous tapes and lots of tracks to play including this one, which I had almost forgotten about till Jim reminded me off the recent Kent CD, full dance floor at 7.30 to this. Can you imagine now? 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Jim Ohara Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Thanks james for the comments ( not the dickhead ones though) Only slight regret that I have 20 years on is that I probably should have did a spot However As you well know I didn't want it to end up being the same as every nighte in the land where the promotor was trying to promote himself and not the music There were guys like you and andy and keith and colin etc. and all the rest who were collecting before I did and I wanted to tip my hat to that and let you lot do the business - which you did Ayyway, I had enough to fucking do with police, front door, volumes, heating, coffee bar, ozzy.............

Guest Byrney Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Ozzy, though. Top top lad, hilarious, unpredictable, messy and a royal pain in the arse in all the right ways.

Jim Ohara Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Agree Byrney, he was a good lad indeed It was just something I could have done without at a certain time during the nighter A real character though Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Brilliant days indeed we were all mad for it Jim, I think the way you run the allnighter, and your music policy will always be held in high regard by all that attended and DJ`d there so much so thats its still looked on as an integral part of the northern scene then and now......as Jock and Byrney have said a lot of the tunes that were played werent brand new but were shouting out to be played, thats not to say that some future monsters werent discovered, all the tunes were jumped on almost immediately by the punters who went.....the fact that everyone that went were all going and traveling to each others soul events north and south of the border made for a fellowship and dynamite atmosphere, so much so people were missed if they didnt get to one night. Chalky coined it rather well there was no bollocks just a load of like minded loons all enjoying them selfs......the bragging rites more came from a tune youd just picked up from the record bar for a £1, and that most tunes could be got from the said record bar almost instantainiously after hearing something played out that night......I think it was Mark Wilson who was in his pre DJ days said it was the era of the £10 record. Grand days indeed.....thank you Jim Ohara for putting the music, punter and the allnighter first and foremost.....I know you had a fabulous collection yourself and chose not to Dj, instead you put your all into running and promoting the night....this says volumes about you my friend.

If you let me know where they can be found, I'll let soulies know about them on Facebook & other social media. If you feel like featuring one of the punters, I used to hitch up there from London :-) Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Might look at a podcast or two of Allanton records, punters choices of course. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
