The Stout Fiddler

you know its going to be the best star wars bar in town (well later anyway - cockney has confirmed part 2 is defo a goer)

haha this thread was a corker

Mad to think how many dj's who play out very regulary at established nights have played down there.

The first home of backlash and my comments of the music we were and are still are playing have stood the test of time.

Without the fiddler i would not of bought my first rig which weirdly 4 years later has led me to getting a princess trust grant to build a bigger rig and given me the possibilitie of doing the sound in a dance/bands tent at next years glastenberry.

Big up to all the old Resistance/Influence/Backlash/Vibration krews who used to go to the nights down there.

Poeple are still using the moot basement to put gigs on.

I don't think i would anymore as i prefered the place as a grimey rave pit with a really loud clear 2k system.

Does anyone know what they use there now for the rig downstairs.

now i see why people took the piss outta that melt

Resistance + LCL @£1 =

The last Resistance when Allie turned up wearing a cravet and a beret and NOT being in fancy dress

aphex twin. literally

Think my face sums that picture up perfectly.

Remember some class times down in that basement... plenty of class times that I can't remember too.

Shame it ended when it did although the landlord at the end was making it harder and harder to do anything with his constant moaning on.

Was full of dodgy cunts upstairs like.

Allie

Allie is newcastle's answer to Frank Spencer.

Wonder if any of his new cool dude mates in Leeds know about that outfit

After seeing that picture before I went looking for a Frank Spencer pic but couldn't find one with a cravat.

Thought that was Sagar anyway.

Would love to see allie wearing it to basics.

I actual do miss the fiddler, Moot is no where near as good.

I miss the dodgy folk as well, Cockney mikey was a real gent even though he was a total dodgy wheeler dealer.

I never ever had one bit of trouble in there neither did gareth or anyone who ever dj'ed or raved down there.

Agreed... can't really remember any bother. Remember Danny getting chucked out through.

Canny funny danny get chucked out.

But Bob and pickled onion man being allowed to stay in there in all states.

Was great when the owner used to be the guy in the loud shirts who used rave away at the down stairs bar.

The Bass rattling drinks upstairs was pretty funny as well,John used hate that.

Good old Greg. Remember the first night we did... he was more fucked than any of us and I was behind the bar pouring everyone pints.

Sound guy till he did a runner.

Go choke on a dick, you know it all cunt
