Russ Vickers Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 I have very fond memories of Yate & I reckon it was one of the most underated Nighters ever, always had a large contingent from the Portsmouth & Southampton areas & a guy named Dinks ran coaches from Pompey to Yate & if I remember correctly had something to do with the promotion at some stage too. Tracked this guy down a few years ago in the vain hope that he had some tunes left, he was a steward at Pompey & no he had no records either !!!. You need to speak to Shay from Southampton, Tony Ellis & Pete Wid too, they should help fill some gaps. Few that remind me of Yate: Soul Communicaors on Fee Bee Ohio Players superior version of LSTMF Bernie Williams - ever Again Also any one remember the dance floor football games Top venue..........top tunes BTW I always thought that Yate helped me a great deal in my open mindedness towards Rare Soul, alltho' tunes over lapped between North & South Yate had its own distinct sound & the DJ's were always adventurous not like some of the other sheep who just chased the bigguns from Wigan. Also, I beleive there is a strong connection between Yate, Stafford & the 100 Club, not only with quality soul music of course, but many people attended all three venues & as such helped influence the sounds played.

Paul R Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 "It's a long long way from Twid's house to Grave's Park" link Nightwatch is worse that I remembered. When I was Djing in Plymouth in about 79 a mate had payed loads of money for it at Yate & I refused to play it for him. I stuck to my reissues and boots of far better sounds. Could be another thread playing reissues & boots rather than nightwatch! err, perhaps we shouldn't go there Paul

Guest martinsbox Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 [ Please find enclosed an article published many moons ago 'bout Yate. YATE - TODAY, AFTER ONE YEAR. C/O Talk of The North. For the past year Yate Allnighter has gone from strength to strength. To many newcomers on the scene it's all North of Watford. But to us southerners and the people who make it to YATE, it's 101% pure Northern Soul. Geographically its all wrong that a club should flourish in such an area but drawing on cars - coaches - vans from Cornwall, Gloucester, Newbury, Southampton, Wales and even Birmingham and Manchester right up to Yorkshire and Leceister and Staffordshire - people from all these areas have made Yate the genuinely friendly and happy soul scene it is. Basically it's a very well laid out club with ample dance and seating areas. Complete with record swapping and food bars its very comfortable. Musically its always been an oldies orientated club - but as time has gone on many of the DJ's have tried to obviously obtain indemanders. Its a hard battle as anyone will tell you. The line up is varied and at present Tony Ellis plays a good selection of UK label oldies and newies that Pete Widdison and Adrian seem to start off at Yate. Dave Thorley places an opening cross over selection of say Dooley Silverspoon to Benny Troy and warms the evening up. From then on its a good mixture of requests and oldies from Hippo and Mac from Malvern, with indemanders put in where available, often these two dig out singles not heard in ages - but totally danceable. Rock from Cannock and Jacko and Paul from Newbury play 100% oldies and are swamped with requests from; Superlatives and Dena Barnes to Darrell Banks to Parliaments. Lastly there's me - Ian Clark, along with Dave Greet, I try my best, when luck and finances allow to play the newer stompers like Paul Anka, Bobby Paris, John Drevars, etc. The more harder to get items that are popular and not everyone has at home, so to speak - although tucked away in Bristol we do try and have pulled many a fine disc that has gone onto bigger things up north- it's good to know we have made what I feel is a worthwhile contribution to the Northern Scene. Butmost of all it's the cross section of genuine soul fans that we get at Yate that deserve a big thank you - without them there would be no clubs. Long may it continue. As a guide to the in demand TOP NEWIES played here is my Top Twelve for September - all originals. 1. Bobby Paris - I walked away - Capitol. 2. Paul Anka - When we get there - R.C.A. 3. John Drevars - The closer she gets - M.G.M. 4. Margie & Formations - Sad illusion - Co-ed. 5. Pinkooshings - Make it easy - Mercury. 6. Buckinghams - Don't you care - Columbia. 7. Tamala Lewis - You won't say nothing - Marton. 8. Diane Newby - What you're putting me through - Kapp. 9. Kiki Dee - On a magic carpet ride - Fontana. 10. Peggy March - If you loved me - R.C.A. 11. Ad Libs - New York in the dark - A.J.P. 12. Lou Roberts - Ten to one - M.G.M. Martin. p.s. includes a few sounds not mentioned.
Chalky Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Its probably because I have a tape of Sam at Yate in 1978 playing Ben Zine. Sounds great cos all you can hear at times are the deafening claps. Now I do have that in my possesion. I will try to do some copies for those interested and give them out next weekend. link Wouldn't mind a copy of the tape Mickey

Great friends, warming the great 'nighter in the sky for when we all eventually get there . . . and it will come. I just hope they have the capacity!! Martin
