Kev Roberts I think....."Sale Mecca"......missed the last bus home once and had to walk to Shaw from Piccadilly.

Thursdays blue rooms was Ian Levine and Colin Curtis from I went from 1973 till it closed eventually Richard Searling and Dave evison took it over.

My soul nights consisted of

Mondays not sure if anything on

Tuesdays Caroline's

Wednesday not sure

Thursdays blue rooms

Fridays pendulum at MSG, Greatstone

Saturdays Wigan or cleethorpes but mainly Blackpool

Sundays tiffanys Newcastle under Lynne , ritz all dayers, derby all dayers, belle vue, John Bull

Other clubs attended duckinfield rugby club, st Ives, Peterborough, Whitchurch, Birmingham all dayers, Yate, black bull on Sundays run by rod shard and Dave withers. One in town behind woolworths in an old Italian cafe ? Again run by Dave and rod. Cats whiskers burnley.

Angels burnley, cassinellis, Leeds central

All from 1972 till 1979/80

And loads more but memory shot

Sure KR also did Sale......but I wasn't a regular and maybe he was filling in when I went? 

 

There was another club in Duckinfield...........can't remember its name......Bird Cage?...............and remember Billy Paul (and his mate Rob?) from that end used to do the odd spot in M's.

the moon changed its name to hiccups which was a disco pub in 1974-1976

then after it became hiccups night club when they got a licence till 2 am

and it was open monday-thursday-friday-sat until it changed its name to drifters night club in late 1979-1980

and then it finally closed its door in 1985 and then knocked down to make way for new morrisons supper market

that was a part of my life taken away from me when to club went was a regular there lived just 5 mins from it

Mine was Parr Hall Warrington in the 80's. Brilliant dance floor, dance hall and music. Was near the start of my discovery of Northern. Was only 15 and thought I'd found true love. Met brilliant people who have passed in and out of my life since and brings tears to my eyes thinking about it. Going back last week was great but also tinged with sadness because I'm now 43! and cos I'm 3 stone fatter! and cos I can no longer take what I took that made me think I could spin, so now I do a triangle kind of thing and try to stomp but stop half way through a song because of my knees, Malcolm wasn't there and it'd gone a bit posh round the corridors, and there was no queue outside, and someone was sat in mine and Reg's seat, but true to form, I met some new friends, some lovely ladies from Warrington who saved me from a night of harassment by some drunken bloke called Derek who is known as a sex pest! but even he was still more pleasant than other sex pests!

You are best sticking to your great 80s memories, seriously, its great you had a good night but these new nights on at the Parr Hall are real a handbaggers event, nothing to do in any way shape or form with the real soul nights back then, Ive been to a few of these new nights and agree, its sad, getting pestered by idiots like that tells you something, dont happen at 'proper' events does it? I dont bother with these new nights having been to a few. The good news is, theres plenty of great events around.

Vaguely remember going to hiccups although my brother and myself were from old Trafford we used to go to clubs with some of the duckinfield, staley bridge crowd John Hillel, Steve Riley, John Seymour, and a few I can't remember.
