Anybody remember Big Mick Ward? DJ at Accy Disco in late 60's and bus driver on Accy Transport. Gave me a good education in black American soul music - summat you couldn't learn at AGS! :cool:

Re: Old Dj's
 

Which disco was that Wyn,

Re: Old Dj's
 

On Whalley Road on the second floor of that red brick building where Catlows was. Started in summer, 1967 and I was one of the first members. You went through a little doorway and up a flight of stairs. They had that strange luminous lighting that made the pass out stamp on your hand glow - cracking music though!

Re: Old Dj's
 

Got me there Wyn, don't think I ever went there, if I did I must have been 3 sheets to the wind:D

Re: Old Dj's
 

Probably wouldn't have appealed to you - no alcohol served. ;) I was only about 16-17 when I went there...moved on to licensed venues a couple of years later! :D

Re: Old Dj's
 

Ah well why didn't you say its obviouse why I'd never heard of it:D

Re: Old Dj's
 

Hi Wyn,
I remember the disco well, was my first time out so to speak, the lights also showed the bits on your jacket, haha, spent many an hour trying to get them off,
Do you remember the guy everyone was in awe of dancing / popularity etc, Joe Davitt, gees thats a long time ago,

Re: Old Dj's
 

Hi Jaysay,
I'm the son of the father and son team, I remember you well, Dave

Re: Old Dj's
 

The other John was John Morphett, originally from Accrington, but came to live up our way around that time

Re: Old Djs
 

Now you've got me thinking Dave and trying to picture you, which I'm normally very good at, but I'm struggling this time:D Obviously you must have gone in the Bull, everybody did.
