jfoe Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 brilliant to be reminded of jive turkey - a whole posse of us used to go down from pitsmoor - all aged 16 or thereabouts. it was our introduction to clubbing and what an introduction... most of us had been in the breakdancing scene that wound up a couple of years before, and a lot of the people in that scene had moved on to the jazz / house dance thing in the early 80s. Anyone remember the Limit on a Saturday afternoon in the early 80s? I did a lot off "breaking" down there and as far as I know it was where Winston started DJing. Great times.

whothis Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Yes, I remember The Limit on saturdays, Winston was dj'ing before that though i think. I remember going in to town as a 14 year old and seeing what looked like 300 people all breakin' outside The Roxy, where Odeon is now. Winston was the one who had the tunes on his "blaster". I'm not sure if this all happened before the limit started. It feels as far back as '83-'84.....not sure though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturday afternoon's at The Limit was ace, loads of breakin crews 'challenging', 'uprockin', 'poppin n breakin'.... I remember the Soulhead's doing routines on the stage too. And, yeah, breakin' outside the Roxy.... God, I miss those days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whothis Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Yeah man, Smak 19, Street Crew, ScratchMix, Positive Force....wow, going back now Booch... I guess Jive Turkey was a continuation of that scene, some of us are still going out and looking for it, guys like Winston and Desi are still playing music in their sets today from that time....in fact, if you hear people like these guys play today, and you are familiar with the music from back in the '80's, you will hear their influences from that era, it is more or less the same scene, only without any "breakers".......

Booch Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Without giving too much of myself away, my brother and I are very good friends with Winnie and Parrot. I know Desi too - from when my bro, my mate and I, did our shows on pirate radio. We DJ'd with them on many occasions (Occasions - d'ya remember those days too?), at loads of different parties in and around Sheffield! The Jive Turkey night's were seminal. No club nights (apart from The Steamer @ Leadmill, The (old) Limit on West St, Funk/Soul/Disco all-nighters @ Locarno's, and the sporadic one-off's that appeared outta nowhere, ie: The Garage/Kool Kat in Nottingham have come close! Oh, and the Hacienda too. Spikey - I was inbetween jobs when I started going to the Steamer:cool: Do I know you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
