Popular Post Chalky Posted October 18, 2013 Popular Post Posted October 18, 2013 I scanned all these for the book that's just come out but none were used in the end. I thought I'd put them up for those who are interested. https://www.flickr.com/photos/crosseyedbear/sets/72157636285503745/ 10
Len Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 'London's Chosen Mass' Great name that. Love the old flyers. Cheers Chalky. Len 2
Guest Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Flyers are such an integral part of the scene...those brought back many happy memories. Hands up if you never ever had a few up on your walls! Thanks for sharing 'em Chalky. 2
Driveller Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Chalky, Fantastic stuff - thanks for sharing. Really glad you put these up, loads I'd not seen before and absolutely fascinating, not least where the graphics are concerned - loved the completely hand-drawn one for a church hall somewhere (if I remember right - bit like Brucie's Generation Game watching them all go past like that!). A real bit of history and I'm glad that even though we couldn't see them in the book, we could still see them here. Nice one. All the best, Nick 3
Chalky Posted October 18, 2013 Author Posted October 18, 2013 Pity most of them don't have the year printed Any in particular? I think the year I added to the title so if you look on flickr you might see it? If not let me know any in particular and I will tell you.

I've got many of your Scenesville flyers that I haven't scanned yet. Plenty more in the garage, just got to find the time to scan them. Edited October 18, 2013 by chalky

Great to see some of your Scenesville ones there as well, Nick...yours were always classy looking and dare I say some of the first to actually look professionally done...set a high bar...although yes the hand-drawn ones bring a smile to the face. 2

Guest Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 MY hands are up. Honestly. Guess it was just me, then Had some Casino, Yate and Hinckley ones adorning my walls when I was too young to know any better Bet you just had Bowie and Slade posters, eh Pete...or the one of the female tennis player scratching her arse 2

Can't remember any after that really.
Patto Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Brill Stuff Even the Flyers had atmosphere back then THANKS Chalky 3
Tony A Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Found 3 from 2003 that are already scanned on the system, have some older stuff boxed up, will do some digging. Hope Derek don't mind, no working out his age you lot.

I was at Tommy Hunts night also, like you say don't seem 10 years ago, I worked with TommyHunt in 1984 at a club called Adeles as well, that don't seem too long ago either, bet I know you by sight. 1

Usually because they had some record or other info scribbled on them from a night out.
Chalky Posted October 18, 2013 Author Posted October 18, 2013 Have to say today's flyers are absolutely useless for making notes on. Who ever thought of glossy professional looking flyers 1
billb Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Tony's, Blackburn - Members note: The police will be closely monitoring this event! Great flyer! 3
Quinvy Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Nothing there for me. Does it not work on the iPad?
Chalky Posted October 18, 2013 Author Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) not sure if it does, click on the flickr link in my signature, that should work. Edited October 18, 2013 by chalky
Tfk Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 not sure if it does, click on the flickr link in my signature, that should work. Evening Youth That works perfect on your flickr link - some fab flyers there Chalky - Keep um coming Tfk
Reforee Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Chalky Great stuff mate, those where the days you could write "new wants" on the back of flyers. Who bloody was responsible for printing both sides of flyers.....they should be hung! Nowadays with phones etc there's no need for pen and paper. Shit they'll be doing away with vinyl next!!,!, 2
Len Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Thanks Nick, long time no see and hope all is well. I've got many of your Scenesville flyers that I haven't scanned yet. Plenty more in the garage, just got to find the time to scan them. I would love to see your 'famous' garage Chalky - Mr Trebus springs to mind Len 1
Len Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Great to see some of your Scenesville ones there as well, Nick...yours were always classy looking and dare I say some of the first to actually look professionally done...set a high bar...although yes the hand-drawn ones bring a smile to the face. The first 'professional' ones I saw were Cliff Steel's Detroit Academicals ones. But yes, the hand drawn ones are fab. Len
Guest Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 The first 'professional' ones I saw were Cliff Steel's Detroit Academicals ones. Defo a contender for the best looking soul club membership card for sure! 1
Markw Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Fantastic stuff. Some brilliant memories in there.
Seano Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Just to add to the thread, some more early 80's flyers.
Guest Gogs Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Got loads of flyers, but thought that i would put this one up first
dthedrug Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 HI ALL....CHALKEY This is the stuff... the DOGS, I have collected flyers from day one on the scene, as they evoke the memory bank so well, also like how you displayed them, also worth a note is how the HOME PC has changed since the 8ts some great creative art work has evolved over the decades. Thanks for making your stuff available, NICE ONE & RIGHT ON DAVE K
Stockholmsoulfox Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) Brilliant stuff Chalky!! Some great memories rekindled through the posters, Nighters remembered and some forgotten! I must admit the night I DJ'd at the Fourbeat Allnighter in Manchester is not one I remember well, I think the 5-a-side football and Table Tennis would have left an indelible impression but unfortunately not! Rob Marriot's Soul Power All nighters in 1987 at the Swan in Mansfield however I remember well, absolutely blinding venue with Butch, Keb Darge, Guy Hennigan and Rich Broughton playing with tfk Andy Whitmore and myself providing the modern stuff. Really worthwhile exercise Chalky and it proves how vibrant the scene was in the post Wigan 80's in places like Dunstable, Hull, London, Leicester, Stafford, Blackburn with not a f'**kin' handbag in sight! Cheers mate Pete Edited October 21, 2013 by stockholmsoulfox 2
Chalky Posted October 21, 2013 Author Posted October 21, 2013 Hi Pete hope you are well. I think that flyer for the four beat one, I think that date was cancelled, Belle Vue is it? Tony Smith will tell you for sure. Mucky Duck was a great venue. You are right though it was vibrant despite what those who weren't there say. I was doing basically two allnighters a weekend, plus bank holidays and at least one soul night which was usually the warm up for the nighter. Thanks everyone for the comments, I've more in the garage, I might get a bit of time later to add to it. 1
Geeselad Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 'London's Chosen Mass' Great name that. Love the old flyers. Cheers Chalky. Len my first all nighter, thanks for putting these up Chalky, a real blast from the past. 2
Daved Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Any in particular? I think the year I added to the title so if you look on flickr you might see it? If not let me know any in particular and I will tell you. I can see that you've added the year to the title of each picture now thanks Chalky. 1
Len Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Not an event most of you would have gone to, but it's interesting ref the Art Work / Letraset Wording - It took hours! I remember having Mace D.J at this Club back then. Btw - It's on my wall All the best, Len
Guest enchantedrythm Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 good stuff BUT THINK OF THE TREES
Triode Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Inspired by Chalkys great flyers I today ventured into my loft and rescued some Soulful Artifacts...............
