The Daughter

Mum said she did one night at the Turks Head at the same time as doing the Winter Gardens.

Hi Rick thank you for the lovely tribute to my mum and dad Mary and Colin Chapman. I have just been reading everyone's comments and stories, I love hearing about the early days. I know how much of an impact mum and dad had on the scene and it is always good to hear and learn more from the people that were there supporting the scene and their involvement. I remember the parties at Walcott and the All-Dayers at Cleethorpes, I was there for some of them and have a very vivid memory of dancing with "Oggy" at the entrance of the main hall at The Winter Gardens. He always earmarked that spot and talced it well. I learned how to dance from watching Oggy and often danced with him in his spot. I recently learned that he is no longer with us. I have been reminiscing a lot lately, delving into their past and trying to find video footage of the early days of their time at Cleethorpes...apparently it is extremely rare. As you know mum's health is diminishing and I keep telling her it is not time to pop off yet, we quite like having her here. Sadly dad passed in 2019 which was a big blow to our our family and we all miss him tremendously. I recently went along to the Skegness Soul Train all-dayer at The Courthouse which was a brilliant day and packed out. Everyone I spoke to remembered mum and dad fondly and all said that Cleethorpes was their favourite venue. I have been invited to dj there but need to raid my mum's collection...with her permission of course. I look forward to doing that and always keeping the faith alive in the family.
