Guest in town Mikey Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 I dont take cameras to niters.

Likkle Mikey with bleached highlights and nasty tache, white socks and moccasins.

Guest in town Mikey Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 I went long, so to speak a few years after Stafford closed. It was still 3/4s way down my back when I returned to the 100 club. Perhaps thats why most people ignored me??

Mark Jones Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 (edited) Anyone else have a steak and kidney pudding from the van outside the TOTW?...mmm...they were yummy..set me up for a night of dancin'!! God I loved Stafford..but getin nostalgic now!...looking back there was only ever 200 per night of us there! Probably cos it was every 2 weeks. But we felt damn special and privelaged! We knew then it was always gonna be remembered as the biggest post Wigan allnighter!...just purely on the class of music and the innovation of the DJ's (Keb,Guy,Pat,Dave et all) at the time...and were we proved right or what! But it was so obvious to the TOTW goers...that's why you always saw the same 200 there! Got a page dedicated to TOTW on my website and live recordings of Lorraine Chandler and Eddie Parker at Stafford that night on 22nd June 1985. Remember it well because that night was my 21st birthday night...what a Prezzy! All the best guys and girls... Mark https://www.soulechoes.co.uk/ PS Sign me guestbook!..and love some pics of that night (Eddie and Lorraine)if you have em!..I'll put on the website along with the music..and I'll give you credit for 'em too! email is talk@soulechoes.co.uk Edited January 28, 2005 by soulechoes
Guest in town Mikey Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 (edited) My fave night, was either the 2 1/2 anniversary, or the night Gary Rushbrooke gave up DJing. (Possibly the same night - the old memory plays these tricks). Gary took no prisoners and every track was at least 150 mile an hour stompers. Big shame that Gary called it a day. I never met him, or spoke to him, but would always make the journey upstairs to hear his sets. Always thought it was a bit of a myth about the chip van. Heard different stories about what to ask for, S&K pudding, chips with gravy...etc.. Did you used to go to the pub on the corner? Well dodgy, always full of footy fans looking for a ruck.
