Im sure some of Kebs things were 100 club ,as he did start his crusade for different 60's there and Stafford came a bit later for him ?
I cant be 100 % sure as I was heavily into 70's and 80's by then and the memory is not so good
Also according to undercover 60's mafia types . many of Kebs Stafford monsters were ,tried at the 100 club first so thats
Big Frank , Cairos , Lil John , Royal Robins , Tony Galla etc etc
No way Russ... Clarkie got his first off Cozzer and played it every set for a good two years or more from 1983 onwards ..

I was a mod in 1979 and that record caused mayhem , as everyone jumped up and down like punks and became agressive .. I wonder how they danced at Wigan to The Who ?
Yeah Johnathn was the chap playing early house mixed in with , well almost everything . Again I cant say where things were played first ( well unless its a modern soul new release) ... but Ive heard most of the funky stuff was played in London on release at venues like Crackers .
It was obvious to me that people had quite a few different dance styles at Rare Groove nighters and could often adapt to the records played .. Today the Northern scene is happy to stick to one style of dance , and even fast shuffling is not ofen seen
Yeah thats right the dancers at Meltdown gigs were used to funkier styles under the banner of Rare Groove .. I cant really remember a track that went over to nighter scene from rare groove at the moment .
ps. Not really the Jazz Funk styles of 1980/82 .. although that was included at Rare Groove gigs too
