6 months after the Casino closed i got married, we all thought it was the end at the time, great sadness ensued, i retreated into my own world of bedroom sounds and stopped going to allniters, then after a few years the urge to get out and about was too much and i began hitting the niters and soul nites again, Queens hall Bradford was local and brill and it ignited the spark, and the new sounds discovered at Stafford etc whetted my appetite for even more venues to attend and i did many up and down the country until about 7yrs ago until it was no longer possible, ..Back to the Casino, i went to the original last all ticket allniter in sept 81, think tickets were a fiver in advance, then they started letting people with no tickets in for 2 quid on the door in the early hours, it then turned into a farce announcing that there were gonna be another final allniter, then there was the infamous complete power cut at about 4am with no sound,lights etc for what seemed an age, (many people forget this happened, maybe because they were too smashed etc) this only lasted about 5 mins,but enuff to cause a little panic though, i remember it distinctly, coz i was wandering around the balcony at the time and tripped over someones head who was asleep on the floor and i twisted my ankle, then to cap it all when we went back to the coach, all the seats were taken and we had to lay on the floor in the aisle all the way back home, my old mate Bob bloor (r.i.p) organised the coach and it was half empty on the way down,so he touted for some more passengers in the niter, but obviously over egged it, happy days!
