I won it and when Mrs B and I went in the evening we were given champagne (our first anniversary) and went backstage to meet Gerry. Nice guy, memorable evening! It was great in the Talk. Went to see Billy Eckstine a few times and Was great watching from tables Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, was trying to remember what that was called. I had Sure is Pure in my head, but I'm fairly sure that was Leeds. Memory's kinda fuzzy around that period. Still got this beauty on my CD rack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brammie Steve Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Saw th Beach Boys on their first two UK tours. 1966 at the Odeon Birmingham 1967 at De Montfort Hall Leicester. Both times I went with Viking Coaches were you paid for travel and ticket together. Good shows with good support. Lulu, Simon Dupree, Nice, Helen Shapiro.

Sure is Pure was Kelvin Andrews and he was a resident at Golden in Stoke. I cannot remember it being in Leeds, but I could be wrong. I had probably my messiest night ever at Back to Basics in Leeds. I was supposed to be writing a review for a magazine and the day after I couldn't remember anything and my notes were total gibberish! My favorite all time mix Cd is the first ever Renaissance one done by Sasha and Digweed. And @Van Wolfie - I just remembered the name, The Cats Whiskers.

If it's the old cinema on West Street in Swad, my mate bought that building & it's currently a burger joint which he's expanding into an acid house theme bar/restaurant. It's called The Balearic Eye now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh god no ? To be honest I generally prefer a decent pub/bar crawl to clubs, particularly the shithole ones in Derby. If I go out down here it’s generally in Nottingham - rock city and around there. There’s some better ones around Uni in Leeds tbf, though a couple have shut down recently and certain others are full of ketheads and best avoided....

Agreed on this one, the clubs in Derby are pretty much the worst, so we like to go around the shithole bars and chat to all the random weirdos we meet along the way, gets rather entertaining.

Back in the early-mid 90's tree botherer's couldn't wait to come to Derby for a night out . I used to work promotion at clubs in both cities amongst others and Derby was a fantastic night out. People were coming here by the coachload I poo you not. Nottingham was that place everyone moaned about as having one decent pub every half mile. Saying that last time i went out there someone mentioned a decent pub up the road and I wound up walking to Hockley, so it's still the same. Miss bank holidays on Sadler Gate as well . Every pub rammed with people on the all dayer and Vines with its great tunes and far to ill equipped toilets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brammie Steve Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Oops, just checked.... Spalding Barbeque 67 was the 29th May not the 31st. The immaculate Fender Strat that Jimi was handling didn't survive being smashed through an amp at the premature end of their performance. He played Sergeant Pepper in front of the Beatles a few days later and on June 18th he was at Monterey where he burned his strat (another one!) with lighter fuel. Them strats weren't cheap either!

Wolfie Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 10 hours ago, Bob The Badger said: In my pre-dance music days Pink Coconut in the days if you weren't wearing a tie you'd probably not get in. The Aquarium in Chesterfield - the only club I have seen women fighting and it happened twice. The Pav in Matlock Bath probably hundreds of times as it was a hop, skip an a jump home. Josephine's and Fanny's in Sheffield One I got into dance and other things we'd move around the country trying new clubs, but these multiple times. Renaissance in Mansfield and then Derby. Hot to Trot when it took over at Venue 44 from Renaissance - I loved that venue, so seedy and the sound system was always incredible. Progress at all of its various venues. Love To Be in Sheffield. Golden in Stoke in Trent. @Van Wolfie what was the club in Baslow called. I think it was in the function room of The Devonshire Arms. It wasn't there that long, I'm guessing around 1981/82 because it was when the new romantic stuff was being played a lot. It used to get rammed. Whispers maybe? That's a bit before my time (born 1973) but I remember people talking about it. If it was that popular, I would imagine the locals hated it & got it closed down.
