Nigel Johson's Profile
FIRST ON THE SCENE IN 1970 STARTED DJ ING IN 1972 AT THE TORCH CHILL OUT SESSIONS
Sunday NIGHTS AT THE FERMAIN CLUB. WHEN THE TORCH CLOSED THE SOUL NIGHTS CARRIED ON
PLAYING THE LATEST TUNES FROM WIGAN AND CLETHORPES THIS NIGHT WAS TO CARRY ON AS A SOUL NIGHT IN ITS OWN RIGHT WITH MANY TOP GUEST DJ's ALSO MANY BIG ALL DAYERS WERE HELD UNTIL THE CLUBS CLOSURE IN 1975

I WENT ON TO BE ONE OF THE ORIGINAL INTER CITY SOUL DJS IN THE MID 70S WORKING THE ASSEMBLY ROOMS AND THE COLLESEUM IN DERBY TOWARDS THE END OF THE 70S TOOK A BREAK
AND DECIDED TO PACK IN GOING TO WIGAN AS I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING STALE AND CHANGED
TO CLETHORPES A LOT OF CASINO TUNES PLAYED THERE BUT ALSO MONSTERS OF THERE OWN
WHEN WIGAN MET ITS DEMISE I THOUGHT LIKE MANY OTHERS NORTHERN WAS FINISHED
BUT WHAT A SURPRISE I HAD WHEN I WENT TO A Monday NIGHT SESSION AT A PLACE CALLED
TOP OF THE WORLD STAFFORD THE SCENE WAS IN FOR A RADICAL OVERHAUL WITH REAL SOUL
RECORDS GETTING AIRED SUCH AS SAM DEES GEORGE SMITH AND GEORGE FREEMAN TO NAME JUST A FEW

THIS SEEMED TO SPLIT THE SCENE INTO THREE THE OLDIES CREW REFUSED TO ACCEPT IN AND SEEMED TO DRIFT AWAY   THE OTHER THIRD WERE BASED AT BLACKPOOL MECCA WITH WHAT CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS NEW YORK 70S DISCO IN 1982 FINALLY FED UP WITH ALL THE POLITICS I QUIT THE SCENE
BUT IN 1985 ONE Thursday NIGHT I WAS AT A LOOSE END AND ONE OF MY MATES TALKED ME INTO GOING TO THE HYDE BOTANICAL CLUB AND I WAS HOOKED YET AGAIN I OPENED A SISTER CLUB TO HYDE AT MORTON HALL MACCLESFIELD THEY CAME TO US SATURDAYS AND WE WENT TO THEM ON THURSDAYS AND IT WORKED VERY WELL UNTILL ITS CLOSURE IN THE EARLY 90S

THEN IN 1995 I OPENED WHAT TURNED OUT TO BE THE LEGENDARY SPORTSMAN CLUB IN MACCLESFIELD AND EVERY TOP DJ IN THE COUNTRY GRACED THE STAGE THERE UNTIL LEASE PROBLEMS FINALLY CAUSED ITS CLOSURE IN 1999 AFTER THAT I WENT ON TO WORK WINSFORD NIGHTERS   ST HELENS   WARRINGTON AND THE NORTH CHESHIRE IN STOCKPORT TO NAME JUST A FEW BEFORE BEING INVITED TO THE GUILD HALL BY IAN.
