Guest in town Mikey Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 Agree with Jerry, same night you would also of heard, Jon & The Wierdest, Purple Mundi, Ronnie Forte, Four Tracks and my left-field stuff!!!!!!!!!!. So, Jerry what was my left-field stuff then I probably have this wrong but I have it stored in my memory bank that you played stuff like - Booker Newbury III - Love Town, on import ages before its release over here. Whether playing stuff so modern is left field I dont know.
Stevecee Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 I always thought Yate was one of the very best Allniters with many unique sounds and can't see why Kent with their obvious Yate connections haven't put a CD out. I know we discussed this a couple of years ago, but as far as I know nothing has happened. Whilst we used to go to Wigan at the same time, Yate had its own feel, sometime bordering on the crazy, but always fun! Tunes I will always associate with it are Leon Thomas - LOVE Connie Questal - Give Up Girl Dean Courtney - Love You Just Frank Beverly - Because Of My Heart Deena Johnson - Sad Girl Gambrells - Jive Talk Sweethearts - Beauty Is Just Skin Deep Joanne Courcey - I Got The Power Patti Labelle - Lovin Rules Kris Peterson - Just As Much Hokis Pokis - Swing Harold Melvin - Love I Lost Miracle Workers - Overture Miroslave Virteous - NY City Royal Five - Say It To My Face Rufus Lumely - Stronger Than Me Sterling Magee - Keep On Del Counts - Another Guy Shamets - Don't Waste Four Tracks - Like My Love Tojo - Brokenhearted Lover Theo Coff - Lucky Day Ty Karim - You Really Made It Good To me And plenty more... Most nights were memorable, but most clear are Garry Rushbrooke and Dave Withers guest nights, Ian Stewart selling that huge collection, the night the gear broke down and we built snowmen in the carpark instead..... Happy times Cheers Steve

Lloydee Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 Agree with Jerry, same night you would also of heard, Jon & The Wierdest, Purple Mundi, Ronnie Forte, Four Tracks and my left-field stuff!!!!!!!!!!. So, Jerry what was my left-field stuff then Dave, I remember we got in early the one night and you were doing the first spot, you spotted us lot & told us to drop everything and dance. So we did only to then hear Patula Clark singing the 10cc track 'I'm No In Love' - that goes down with Clarke's rhythm stick, which I also danced to coz I was pilled up, did I say that

Peter99 Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 Was The Greater Experience DFTR a Yate play? I'm not sure - but it's certainly a wicked toon!
Guest Bogue Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 (edited) Am i correct in remembering this as a Yate tune too ? Frank Polk - Love Is Dangerous Edited March 1, 2007 by Bogue
Jerry Hipkiss Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 Am i correct in remembering this as a Yate tune too ? Frank Polk - Love Is Dangerous Yup, well OK we weren't the first to play it but I bought it on spec and starting playing it a lot, several others picked up on it as well. Seem to remember someone going into print saying that Wigs oldies were far less imaginative than ours, maybe because the average age at Yate was slightly higher. Couldn't imagine hearing Etta James/Sugar Pie Desanto at a Casino oldies session but Tony Ellis used to pack the floor with it. And Lloydee, Petula Clark "I'm not in love"? Nah...but I remember Dee Dee Sharps version on TSOP getting spins. Possibly that??
Guest Doris Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 Love this. One of the first records I ever bought. Anyone guess which soul sourcer has a bit of a passion for Yate? MMMMM that would be me ....... felt like I was sixteen again .......................... think we should have a revival .................... Doris
Jerry Hipkiss Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 So, Jerry what was my left-field stuff then well, apart from the aforementioned Miroslav Vitous, Miracle Workers, Leon Thomas (pretty avant-garde then!), things like The Memphians, M M and the Peanuts - even Music through Six "Floppy Ears"! Now who sold you that? Can't think...

Nah...but I remember Dee Dee Sharps version on TSOP getting spins. Possibly that?? It's funny you should mention the average age Jerry. From a personal point of view, on the couple of times i visited the venue i found it a bit, not sure how to phrase it properly, but a bit insular shall we say ? Nothing extreme, but i didn't feel as comfortable as i did at other venues, so perhaps it may have been the age factor as i would have only been about 17/18 at the time i went there . Listening to others everyone seems to have really enjoyed it so maybe it was just me, but i didn't fall in love with the place as i did with, say, the Casino.

Russ Vickers Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 ========= bobby vee - cross my heart perhaps?? must have been an oldies nite..nothing very inspiring on those playlists is there really? especially what wigan was knocking out at the same time....ill get me hat Your a nice lad, but lets not turn this into an excuse to let Wigan off the hook...............I went to Wigan & loved it, but Yate was one of the most influential & under valued venues ever IMHO Ian Clark & others were taking the piss out of Wigan at times with some of the stuff that was being played. There are loads & loads of things that were played at Yate before they travelled Northward & attributed to others. Stafford & the 100 Club, venues that have kept the scene alive over the years playing proppa NS with a passion & from the heart, owe much more to Yate than they do to the Casino................this is not an opinion its a fact !!!!. Lets get Greety, Shay, Ady P, Dave T, Hippo, Tony Ellis, Clarkie (unlikely) & the rest of the gang together again, not for a nostalgia trip, but because these guys are still playing credible soul records that would make for a fantastic night of soulful shenanigans. Nobody living on past glories here.............Yate was the real deal. Russ
