I didn't go as it was before my time. However I remember my mates talking about 'stars and stripes club'  when discussing Yate

Could that be the name of the venue?

[Shsdave]

Yes the Stars & Stripes when I went  but I think it may have been held in another venue as well .....The Baths spring to mind ? 

[nsaints]

OK, I'll check with Rusty tonight, to see what he remembers

Interesting question. I thought I went to all of them, start to finish, but they were allnighters. Can't remember any alldayers, except for a few revival ones at The Baths in the early 80's

stars and stripes, tony petherbridge took us there from Whitchurch around 77 / 78 ish

Oops that was what I was replying to, Yate All niters. I must have read it wrong

Maybe there was an ultra-underground scene that we knew nothing about Dave - after we disappeared home...

I can recall attending an all-dayer whilst John (Kojak) Harvey ran the Inter City do's there, it was definitely an all-dayer, on a bank holiday Monday in 1975/6, at the Stirling Suite!

Well sort of, apart from the anniversary that comprised an all nighter drifting in to an all dayer and ending witha sort of soul night

Think that was the one you went to Mike, as Pete says was a never ending affair

No Dave,I'm sure I even recall the "longer" trip from South Wales via Chepstow/Gloucester due to avoiding the long lines of traffic queueing for the tolls which used to be on the East bound journey, and was the one and only All-Dayer I recall or attended at the "Stirling Suite" and definitely on a bank holiday Monday, albeit as I remember it wasn't particularly well attended.......Unless my brain has become "addled"....?
