1984 A snap shot of Events from the year

[Chalky]

I thought this might be of interest to some of you....

As part of my research into hopefully one day writing a book on the scene post Wigan I have begun to do a timeline of event, 1980-1990.

Here are scans of the first half of 1984. It is data taken from The Echoes magazine only and is all-nighters and all-dayers only, just a few soul nights that I considered important or part of a larger history for a certain Club, 6ts for instance.  There are more soul nights than my lifetime allows me to research 

As you can see it was pretty health all-nighter wise, certainly far more healthier than what was happening at the back end of the Wigan era, 1980/81 which was dominated by all-layers and jazz Funk.

Still a lot of the Djs from the earlier years getting plenty of work but many of the new breed at the forefront.

As you will see, clashing is not just a thing for today's scene.
