HELP info needed about Yorkshire in 1980's


Hi Im new here and am racking my brains for dates and my age back then. Was on the scene for a while and was a Mod at school (and think I may have even been a face LOL) but only went to a few nighters/gigs I was a drummer in a band called killing time who started out Mod ish but then everyone became more rockie ish and was around when all the pheonix runs were happening.

Im trying to find anyone who could help me with when the years were as im getting old and forgetful LOL.

I first went to a rally held in York i think 83/84 and the eve do was at a club on the outskirts of york and I think the Moment played a set. Tony Class as ever main DJ.

Then there were a couple of winter allinghters in lemontrees i think in scarborough I went consecutive years but again cant remember years. then I went to a rally in blackpool think the Yeah Yeahs played. then the final rally I remember going to was in lowerstoft that Desmond Decker played at.

Just wondered if anyone can help me with the years they took place.

and indeed if anyone remembers me from the scene back then I ran a local mod society in Ripon/Thirsk in North Yorks (cant even remember the name of it ha ha) and I went to a couple of doos in Darlington I think run by I seem to remember 2 gourgous young ladies (again anyone help out with their names).

any road me sign off and good times were had.

Cheers

A quick ps to this as well I know live in North Kent and was wondering if anyone was out there now from the Kent area and what if anything was happening locally. Also I used to work in the radio profession and have a passion for dj'ing so if anyone has a regular do and wants someone to spin some tunes I got lots of different stuff from northern, ska/rocksteady, revival, 80's a good cross section of tracks on vynal and cd so there you go ( would need the kit though).

Cheers

Hi Rich

I'm pretty sure you're talking about 85/86, as I went to most of those events as well emoticon I was living in Leeds at the time.

I think there was another do in Rotherham around the same time with The Moment and The Direct Hits definitely 1986 - did you go to that too?

I'm in SE London (Woolwich) now. Where in North Kent are you? Dartford ish?
