DJ360

I'm currently (no pun intended) using a pretty much all valve set-up, but modern . I have a Linn Lp 12 turntable with a Linn Lingo Power supply. (It provides a clean power supply to the motor for accurate and smooth running. Also allows for electronic speed change.) An Esoteric Audio Research all valve phono stage. A Papworth Audio Technology PPA6 pre amp. A pair of Papworth M100 all valve mono power amps. and a pair of Rogers Studio 3 Speakers. Also use a TEAC P-30 CD Transport, with a Benchmark DAC 1 Digital to analogue converter. I used to have a Rogers Cadet 3. With the right spea

Coming back on topic..... We useter book Carl's Fables into the 360 Club Bulwell regularly. In fact at one point, probably about 1969/70, they had a regular Sunday night spot. They had a fan who followed them about and would get up and sing Sam Cooke's 'Another Saturday Night', and also 'Blue Suede Shoes'. As I recall, Carl was originally from Birkenhead. Last time I saw them , I wandered into the Rose at Strelley, with my girlfriend. (Also from Merseyside. We've now been married for 38 years..) Carl made a bit of a show of me! I'll get him back one day. Col

I used to hang around the Penguin Cafe in the early/mid 60's I knew the name Elijah Day, but he was more of a legend and belonged more to the 50s than the 60s I believe. I was 16 in 1965 and hung around there on my not so special Royal Enfield Crusader. Names I remember from that time are Everett Kirk ( Another great name!) who ISTR had a C12 and later an A10. My still very good friend Dave Cartwright who rode a 350 Ajay and then an A10. (Now riding a very posh Harley) Johnny Mills ( Now passed on I believe), who was famous for laying his Ariel 'Golden Arrow' so low around the market place

Hi! I remember Brian Exton well, both his shop in Coventry Road and the later one in Carey Road. I bought various bit off him for my Royal Enfield Crusader Sport. I well remember the Goldie. Everything that wasn't either rubber or leather was polished alloy or chrome. I lusted after that machine but since I only had a prov license and no money it was all a bit pointless. The story I heard was that it was built for show purposes (though not, as I understood it, by Brian.) I was told he acquired it and was selling it on, but wouldn't swear to that. What I would swear to though is that it wa

Surely somebody here must remember the great nights at the 360 in the late 60s/early 70s? I was one of the DJs with the Magic Roundabout Disc Show. We did weekends and a couple of week nights at the upstairs room at the 360. Dave Cartwright also DJd and Dave Pickering was our 'Business Manager' . Dave ran a few 360 reunions at Bestwood Miner's Welfare in the late 90s. We also used to book in lots of local bands like The Clockwork Toys, Sons and Lovers, Nerve, Carl's Fables, Whichwhat and many more, including the curiously named 'Lambs of the World' who included Mick Vaughan, later famous in

New 'ere mesen! Dragged up on Bestwood Est. Went to High Pavement as a near contemporary of Fred Shipman. Worked at Coal Board Labs Cinderhill, Whitely Read, various bulding sites and factories. Also DJ with the world renowned ( ) Magic Roundabout Disco in the late 60s with residencies at the 360 Club Bulwell, Robinson's Hill Social Club, Carlton Hotel etc. Great days...

Hello folks! I'm new here, but I'm an ex-pat Nottinghamian living in Merseyside for the last 30+ years. Well remember the Belvedere Club, the Three Boat Clubs and the Beachcomber. Saw loads of bands including: Fleetwood Mac, Jethro Tull Jeff Beck Band feat. Rod Stewart, Cliff Bennet and the Rebel Rousers, Long John Baldry, Cream (At the former Nottm. Tech) Jr Walker and Geno Washington, both at the Palais. Pentangle at the Albert Hall and most memorably Ray Charles at the Odeon when I was about 13. Worked briefly with Alvin Lee's Dad. He was a site engineer of some sort on tunnelling pr
