Peterborough Soul Club restarted All-nighters in 1982 andalthough over the following years the names of the clubs that ran all nightersthere changed i.e. Dedicated Soul Club, East of England Scooter Club &Dedicated Scooter Club - it was ran by the same bunch of guys.
1st Record played at 20.00 hrs was the Sherry's - Put your loving arms around me , justbefore the main doors were opened approx two min's there were no recordsplaying, then the guy on the inner doors between the hall and the entrance gavethe nod and that was the start.
1989 - Saw the last nighters, which shut at 07.00 in themorning - last record, Am on my way Dean Parrish.
The sign attached is the original sign that was put over thedoor in the early 70t's - when the sign was removed there was another signunder it - THE BOX, which I believe it was called for a short time early 70t's.
The sign was removed by the guys who removed the asbestosabout Feb 2009.
Allnighters in the 80t's were run for 7 years; I was luckyenough to play the first record and played the last.
Hope you enjoyed the memories I did.
