Steve G Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 Dave Withers was on at a similar time at the second one Steve Shane, Rebels was run by Richard S and Bernie Golding Yes I went to that one too. Black Frank from southampton was also there cos I travlled back on the train to london with him. Great nights and it really was the start of something fresh!
Robin S Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 And of course Snaith. Sam and Arthur tried a couple of venues in Sheffield, Turn Ups (The old Nether Edge Hall for locals) and Take Two down Attercliffe. Somewhere else as well but can't remember where.Yeah I think first part of 1981 , well thats what Robin had on the tapes .. all mangled now The tapes are fine Simon - not mangled at all? - First Brum Locarno is dated as 23/3/81 - Arthur/Sam/Mario - History in the making....

Robin S Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 Memorable all nighters at Rebels (I came up from the south) with Richard, Sam, Arthur, Mannion etc. Gary Rushbrooke was the "token" 60s DJ - on about 7 am as I recall. I've got a Rebels tape "1st All Niter" - 21/11/81 - Richard,Arthur and a couple of bits from Steve Mannion...it always seemed to snow when rebels was on!
Robin S Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 ahh great can u remaster them to mp3 Robin ? when I retire maybe!

Forget th weather Robin. What about the hike up the stairs I went into the building with a client six/seven years ago (i think) years ago. It had been shut for ages, and we had to wear safety gear and sign a disclaimer for any resulting "health problems". Halfway up the stairs, hundreds, and I mean hundreds of pigeons started flying around. It was infested with the flying rats. (Mind you, it was a sh*thole in 1981 )
Guest Netspeaky Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 We shouldn't forget the RITZ all dayers in the 70's either, loads of new release soul and disco played.

Guest WPaulVanDyk Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 maybe as said they prefer to hear Modern which might be underplayed. maybe some of the modern room DJ's play what they know is gonna win same as Northern tunes but disco just gets to me i like it but to hear it played out. I heard Dave Forrest playing Ain't No Stopping Us Now and said doing well on the Modern scene lately my reaction was my god this so disco dosen't seem Modern. i like and prefer nights that have all music played so you can hear straight forward Northern, little modern, crossover, R & B etc and Modern music to me is more mid 70's that's when i feel a lot of it started not as early as i hear of records being made and classed as Northern
Guest thierryb Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Yeah well its more modern than the 60's stuff At the Frankfurt weekender, the Modern Room is far from being empty ! I have only been to the Koln weekender and the Aachen weekender and the Modern Rooms were not empty... so i'm a bit surprized by this assumption. Thierry

Simon M Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Wow , this thread has well over 3000 views , and Helen was really asking for more R&R rooms
Guest thierryb Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 tha's because you were djing, thierry , apart from that, yes, you're right! Ah ah ah ! Glad you're on here too ! I mean to say that my experience is limited in Germany. But please let's not suppress the Modern Rooms ! Thierry
Guest outonthefloor Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Wow , this thread has well over 3000 views , and Helen was really asking for more R&R rooms Well Simon RnB rooms actually as i think Modern rooms are where you go for R&R!! I've really enjoyed reading this thread and there have been some excellent discussions and topics brought up. Not many people have expressed a desire for RnB rooms tho so maybe better Modern rooms are whats required, so an event is seen as a two room do rather than a Northern/oldies do with a Modern room tacked on the side. Helen XX

CAMBRIDGE SOUL Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Sheffield Romeo and Juliets? Baileys whatever it was called had a Modern Room before 83 Mark. At the Sunday all dayers. I remember DJing there with Sam and Arthur. Around 82ish I think. Oldies in the main room. romeo and juliets memories come back of going up the m1 in my mk 3 cortina ! .... one room was 70's ( as modern was called then ) and the other room was funk not oldies ?...... can anyone remember the venue at shrewsbury ? what was it called ...had a dayer there about the same time as rommeo and juliets was going ......

Oak Hotel at Shrewsbury - ran by the Shrewsbury Collective. Pip was the only one I knew..Richard and Sam guested - I went a couple of times - a long way from Loughborough on a Friday night for a Soul Nite! The record that always reminds me of this cracking small venue is Jean Carn "No, No, you can't come back now" which was a bit of an anthem.
Guest Pete Griffin Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 There is only one word for modern Y.M.C.A...... come on now sing a long, all to gether now
Guest Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 There is only one word for modern Y.M.C.A...... come on now sing a long, all to gether now Modern rooms ...... Give it ten years , they will be called oldies rooms , and will be full ....... Malc Burton
Souljazera Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 Modern rooms ...... Give it ten years , they will be called oldies rooms , and will be full ....... Malc Burton nice and succinct!
Souljazera Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 The 'Modern crowd' has no problem with 60's soul. Only the reverse this makes rather good sense of this debate dave! carry on up the modern, disco , garage and northern kyber pass

Helen XX If you find your answer Helen, share it with me!. I've been watching both RnB rooms and modern rooms for the last few years and I believe RnB rooms have died off a touch quicker but there isn't much in it and its still changing. We have two rooms at Bury and We alternate and have both modern and RnB on a bi-monthly basis. I honestly can't tell much of a difference between the numbers that either genre pull in. Jayne.x.
