22ndsoul Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 Just been thinking to myself how brilliant the first K G B allnighters in Sheffield were in the 70s,with a guy who used to run them that i think was called Terry Samson,just wondered what became of him.
Ian Dewhirst Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 (edited) I remember deejaying for Terry in the early 70's. Also did a great gig at the Cat's Whiskers in Leeds with Jnr Walker & The All-Stars which Terry promoted. Great memories - I've probably forgotten more then I can ever remember LOL....

Dear god , I had forgotten that publicity blurb Terry did for the place : one of the many gems he came up with ..... I , like may other DJs in the 70s . worked for Terry Sampson on a regular basis , and quite a few of today's notable names , got their first start because of him giving them spots * TS was a very creditable promoter during what many term the golden age of the scene ..... I put a post on SS last year enquiring if anyone knew of his whereabouts , there were a few replies , but no real information was gained as to what happened to , or where TS was ....... There have been some uncomfirmed rumours concerning TS over the years , but that is all they were - rumours .....

Guest martyn Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 Definitely my memory of KGB...does it ever sound fast now!...think we went up just after the closure of St. Ives. Same as that.After St Ives shut,but before The Fleet or you guys at Yate got into full swing KGB was my prefered nighter.The nighters at Loughborough Town Hall were also a 'stop gap',but no where near as good as KGBs even though most of the DJs were the same. I havent heard Jettsons & Tangeers for years,but was to fast for me to dance to then, even with Mr Riker leading the way

TS's ability to spot an oppertunity and to develop something out of it , was always commented on by those who showed interest in what he was promoting.... In respect of the pecking order , TS was always the one underneath the others who were doing it ... He willingness to take a cottage industry to the masses also deserves a mention ...... His appreciation of , and shown to , the younger talent on the scene at that time , is still highly commendable .... As you , Steve and myself will remenber , he was not content to have us in the background , often pushing us to the front of what he was doing .... We may - no , never will - see his type again .....

Guest charnley Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 Hi, i always ejoyed the times i went to the kgb stoped off with nev werry & some of the notts lads. nev did a spot there then off to some other venue mostly wigan but the kgb always sticks in my mind as well attended and loads of folk dancing, The dance floor always looked busy. I once even had to dj for nev as he went off buying records really ejoyed playing that spot with his class records. was a great night. GOOD TIMES REMEMBERED
Guest Glynn Jones Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 Did Terry have something to do with Sheffield Tiffany's niters? This venue took my "niter virginity" around early '79. I'm sure I remember scrounging a lift home from Terry and one of his mates. Glynn

Guest tag Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 My first memories of Terry were back in 68 at the "Attic" in Doncaster.This was the CO-OP ballroom,3rd floor of the CO-OP , Terry started a Soul do and Pete Stringfellow(MOJO) came to DJ .Once it got started a guy , Fred Benson from Scunthorpe was the main DJ,....I was a regular at the ATTIC, and the Wheel,and prior to that the Mojo. Terry was, as I remember, a likeable guy, dark curly hair,med build,med height..Fred Benson decided to pack in DJin, so I asked Terry for his spot,. Terry said yes, and so started my Soul DJin,.Terry did a few different types of DO,s and last i heard of him several years ago he had been poorly. Alas I dont know whats happened to Terry.BUT, my thanks to him for givin me the chance to play my beloved music.Al Taylor.

macca Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 I went to the KGB just once, but being a st.ives nut I wasn't that impressed. My only memory of it is buying Let Her Go - Otis Smith on Perception and leaving my brand new leather bomber jacket in the cloakroom there. I only realised when I got to the station that it wasn't on me back. Had to walk all the way back to the KGB, missing the train. I remember Terry Samson as a curly haired, famiable sort of chap, actually welcomed us at the door, asking where we were from etc; Don't know whether it was PR or what, but it was appreciated at the time, especially after having st.ives wrenched from us.
Indywoman Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 I loved this place ... used to come up from Reading. Seem to remember it was on a hill with lots of trees around - was it a dance school? The drive up was great too and my friend Kate reckoned the lights of Sheffield spelled out SOUL - couldn't see it myself! Fantastic dance floor and great crowd.

Guest Frank Elson Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 thanks for the chat on the phone Malc. As I told you, it was just a shock last night. A day later I've accepted it. In fact, I should be surprised, the way we lived in the 60s and 70s how many of us have survived. I've had seven heart attacks and I always say that I earned every one of them.

M I bet you will never guess what I got into twenty years ago ? I had my first heart attack, Blues and Soul sh*t on me when I recovered so... and I can hardly believe this myself... I blamed it all on Northern Soul and for a year or so wouldn't play any. Had to have some music in me and a friend introduced me to... no, go on, guess. But liking other stuff is Ok, Northern is just the best there is.

Ian 'Frank' Dewhirst Wow, small world. I DJ'd at the same event (I think it was a Sunday all-dayer) and at another for Terry in Meanwood at a later date. I remember chatting with Junior and his band (including his son). He was just about to leave Motown at that time. I think I wrote about it in Black Echoes. What year was that ? And whatever happened to Terry ? We're getting old.
Guest Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Remember Terry had a curly perm,gingerish(?!) and dropped me and mate off on the M1 so we could thumb it back to the barracks in Aldershot!! ( about 250 miles!) And the signs saying don't drop chewing gum anywhere!! Abbeydale Rd. if l'm not mistaken!!

Guest Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 (edited) I have told this story about The KGB previously on SS , but for those who missed it , here it is again in an abridged edition ...... I was one of the DJs at the first all - nighter Terry Sampson held there , and with being the first one , it was packed to the rafters - I seem to recall a figure of 700 + being stated as being in - which as the night ( morning ? ) went on , became like a sauna due to the lack of ventilation . This caused condensation to run down the walls , and coated the curved aluminium canopy that hung over the stage , which as a result , the condensation dripped continuously from it onto the stage and the decks . Towards the end of my spot . I shouted at Terry telling him of the problem with the water on the decks , fearing that I or someone else could get electrocuted , to which he told me " don't worry if they blow - I've got another set " Bub came onto the stage ( his spot followed mine ) , took one look at the water on the floor amd around the decks , and turned to me stating " if I had known it were gonna be like this Burton , I'd have brought me f***ing trunks " Malc Burton Edited March 2, 2010 by Malc Burton
