Guest in town Mikey Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Floyd. Are you on Facebook? There is a Yate page on there with all the details. Plus loads of great photo's, and posts of some of the old Yate faves. Just type in Yate to the search at the top and it should take you there. Mike

Guest in town Mikey Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) Dave Thorley is doing it with Mike Eskins and Leon Brown 's help I think. Dave's on here. So is Hippo, so I think there should be something on here somewhere. As far as I know Clarkie isnt available due to health issues. Most of the other regulars all appear to be on. I cant acess FB at the minute, but if memory serves, the date is Friday May 23rd. The day before the Oddfellows reunion niter (Not 100% about that tho) The venue is the nightclub next to the swimming pool in Gloucester where they used to have alldayers in the 80s. When I get home tonight I will post up actual details for you bud. Unless someone else sees this and can do it before me. Edited March 31, 2014 by in town Mikey

Floyd Posted March 31, 2014 Author Posted March 31, 2014 Here's the flyer from the Facebook page: Thanks , dont remember a couple of those dj s mentioned on flyer and i went regulary shame about clarkie , what about Dave Greet remember him djing think he played twans and george hobson which were really hard to locate in those days , but i may be wrong , memory isnt what it used to be pity cant get a venue in Yate itself remember meeting up at michael wood services and the off to one of the best allnighters ive ever been to (including Wigan) IMHO, good times and fond memories ATB Floyd

I've spoken to him once or twice as he lives near me and he has given up DJing as far as I know..
Missing Link Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Here's a listing of DJs that Dave Thorley posted in a thread from 2007: Some a bit confused by all that went on there, and that's no great suprised. Three/four different promoters, two venues, lots of dj's so here's a bit of a breakdown (best I can remember, with a few spelling mistakes) and I might have missed the odd dj.Inter-City Soul Club-John 'Kojak' HarveyStarted at Stars & Strips (Two rooms, main room northern, upstairs funk) finished at The Baths as a one room event.Dj'sKojakPepBlue MaxSteve SmithMarc MouiseDave ThorleyMacSoul TwinsBrian SDave Godin (Twice)Bob MeanSmokeyRichard MarshSouthern Soul Club-DinksStars & Strips, Sterling SuiteDJ'sIan ClarkTony EllisPaul Guntrip & JackoRoch & BobDave GreetHippoMac Dave ThorleyShaySoul Sam (Guest)Tony WarrottSouth West Soul Club-Nick McavoyStars & Strips, Sterling SuiteDJ'sNick Mcavoy Ian ClarkTony EllisDave ThorleyHippoDave GreetAdy PountainDave WithersGary RushbrookePaul Guntrip & Jacko (I think)Andy Golding Stars & Strips Management (last few)Stars & Strips, Sterling SuiteDJ'sIan ClarkTony EllisDave ThorleyHippoDave GreetAdy PountainDave WithersGary Rushbrooke

Living in Southampton, at the time, I went reasonably regularly - certainly for the first two incarnations and remember a lot of the DJs but there's no way I could have written a list like Dave's. It's too long ago and I've done so much since!
