Just found this Chalky !

Here you go Chalky, I DJ d there for about 2 and a half years every fortnight, 87 /88 ish Gary Spencer was a regular as was Tony Warot, the nighters were quite up front at the beginning ran by Jon buck and Danny Everard several guest DJs inc Neil Nogger Allen when he was well, Bob banks was another. he's a flyer from when the nighters changed

Great read Chalky, I can remember some of it but most is a blurrrrrr ! The days of ringing around or scanning Echoes to see what was on and walking into a Nighter and knowing 95% of the people in there have long gone. great times X Oh even some weekends with NOTHING on !¬

Stomper !

I can recall the conversation Andy,(In the presence of Sam and Arthur) the "Clash" you talk about wasn't the 100 Club, but the Cleethorpes Weekender in June. If you remember I explained when the Bridlington Weekender started we had looked at the last weekend in April, however this wasn't available. We were offered 3 dates when the venue wasn't booked, The first clashed with Cleethorpes, the second with Whitby and the 3rd we took, which later became established as the last FULL weekend in June. I hope Lifeline finds a new home and continues long into the future and wish yourself Mick and Chalky well. I am also hoping to attend a few more Nighters myself now that I don't have shifts to worry about so I'll see you around soon for a chat. Rob

ON NOW

Credit due to those who raised such a huge sum to help good causes. Nice to see totals published as well.

THIS IS VERY BAD NEWS INDEED, had some great times with Snoz and the Barnsley gang at the Tracky Club back in the 80s RIP Paul

SAD NEWS INDEED, Not seen Rob for a very long time sad to hear of his passing RIP

Great stuff !

Probably sooner Chalky I saw prince Philip Mitchell there at a nighter, no idea when it was !!! 86/87 ?

Fantastic read, great article on a true "One Off" Top man Ian Clarke !!!

Terrible news . Always read his posts on here, RIP Joe Condolences & prayers to all your family Rob

I think is move of a shuffle with the feet following the hands, more or less on the spot with very little movement , which would fit in with "Tighten Up" !

Archie Bell showed us all how to do the "Tighten Up" at Baltic Soul last year, Left hand on your left hip, Right hand extended in front of you, pretend you are holding a large Screwdriver and turn your hand clockwise from the wrist like you're tightening a screw up, Yeah baby you're doing the Tighten UP ! Switch hands and repeat !

South African !

​Extremely sad news RIP Paul, sending our love to one of my oldest soul friends Carole xxx

I have a friend who collects Iron Maiden and NWBHM...........he saw The Film and went nuts over the Salvadors......he bought a Blue copy for £60.00 on ebay ! I told him about the box set of 45s, he got one for £65.00 and re-auctioned the Salvadors for £72.00 ! So who knows ! Also got a none soul mate who's just bought 2 nice originals Dean Courtney MGM (Real 'un) & Ireen & Scotts and paid serious £££££s, just to play them at home because he liked them ! Strange World of Record Collection and middle age men with too much money ! Rob
