Hatch Posted 25 July, 2011 Posted 25 July, 2011 yep , Bournemouth Pier about 92, I think Kylie Minogue was there. My 1990 to 1995 memory is a bit hazy tbf.
Marsdinho Posted 25 July, 2011 Posted 25 July, 2011 I went with my then girlfriend to the one on Southsea Common (the things you do for some "action") around 1990 ish..... If my memory serves me, I do believe a new band called Take That played.......whatever happened to them.
trousers Posted 25 July, 2011 Posted 25 July, 2011 Went to one hosted by Ooooh Gary Davis with 'special' guest Michael Barrymore.... Bournemouth. c.1984
JonnyLove Posted 25 July, 2011 Posted 25 July, 2011 Their now called One Big Weekend. Normally around the the second Week in May to signify the start of the festival season. It is one event that is held in a different place each year and you can always watch / listen to it via the red-button on digital tv,on 97-98FM, DAB radio, via the radio 1 website or on other BBC tv channels when broadcasted.
Dimond Geezer Posted 25 July, 2011 Posted 25 July, 2011 Went to one (Lyme Regis I think) whilst camping in Charmouth in 1984. Gary Davies was host & we had our banner read out. Exciting times.
Huntingdon Posted 25 July, 2011 Posted 25 July, 2011 1985 Great Yarmouth - The Hairy Monster DLT Snogged a girl on holiday from Wolverhampton, went to touch her tits and she gave me a slap! Never saw her again. What a tease

Hatch Posted 25 July, 2011 Posted 25 July, 2011 I know all these DJs mentioned so far, these days the only Radio One DJ I know is Moyles.
dubai_phil Posted 25 July, 2011 Posted 25 July, 2011 Lol yep saw one (by co-incidence) when visiting the ex in laws - in Southport no less. Simon Bates. Jeez must have been very early 80's
manji Posted 25 July, 2011 Posted 25 July, 2011 We got banned from having them as there was a mass brawl between us and Portsmouth in Hoglands Park.
SimonC Posted 25 July, 2011 Posted 25 July, 2011 yep , Bournemouth Pier about 92, I think Kylie Minogue was there. My 1990 to 1995 memory is a bit hazy tbf. I worked at the Holiday revival - defunct bar thing by the Pier in the summer of 91. That roadshow year young Danni ***** was appearing. Walked straight past us in the bar - one of the staff goes, 'christ you're small aint ya!...as you do!
rallyboy Posted 25 July, 2011 Posted 25 July, 2011 Mike Read getting a brickie to build a garage around Smiley Miley's car at Castle Field during the show - my how he didn't laugh! Steve Wright down there too. Simon Mayo with Travis was the last one I recall. Then I got a bit old and music went wrong.
JackFrost Posted 25 July, 2011 Posted 25 July, 2011 We got banned from having them as there was a mass brawl between us and Portsmouth in Hoglands Park. There was one in Southampton in 04/05 time I think?
revolution saint Posted 25 July, 2011 Posted 25 July, 2011 Bits and Pieces I would win against anyone on here I bloody ruled at that......I wouldn't have a chance now. I went to one in Wales, mid 80's, and Simon Bates was hosting. He came across as a right miserable sod.
Dimond Geezer Posted 25 July, 2011 Posted 25 July, 2011 Bits and Pieces I would win against anyone on here I bloody ruled at that......I wouldn't have a chance now. Christ, I'd forgotten about that. I'd give you guys a run for your money any time. (as long as it was 80's music)
revolution saint Posted 25 July, 2011 Posted 25 July, 2011 Christ, I'd forgotten about that. I'd give you guys a run for your money any time. (as long as it was 80's music) The fact you'd forgotten Bits and Pieces bodes well for us......
Jesus Reigned Posted 25 July, 2011 Posted 25 July, 2011 I went to the one in Southsea in either '91 or '92 with a couple of mates, when we were at college. At the time Steve Wright was the main man, and I think off the back of a number of sketches he used to do at the time an "Arnie - I'll be back"type single was released?! That and Bits and Pieces is about all I can remember!!
The Cat Posted 25 July, 2011 Posted 25 July, 2011 There was one in Southampton in 04/05 time I think? I think that was Power In The Park which ran on the Common for a few years until the year there was loads of fights. Having what I believe to be a modicum of music taste I never went but reckon it was probably earlier than the dates you mention so could easily be barking up the wrong tree. As for Radio 1 Roadshows I went to one around 1990 in Maidstone. Gary Davies was hosting and Seal mimed his way through a couple of songs. I remember Davies trying to make out to the listeners that there was a huge crowd at the event when there just wasn't. Even those that had turned up seemed thoroughly bored. I stayed for half an hour or so before disappearing into the park to drink cheap cider and tried to cop off with a girl who wasn't having any of it.
hamster Posted 25 July, 2011 Posted 25 July, 2011 Name 10 Beatles songs. Clocks ticking...tick tock...
Golden Balls Posted 26 July, 2011 Posted 26 July, 2011 I think that was Power In The Park which ran on the Common for a few years until the year there was loads of fights. I seem to remember it running from the late 90s til around 2005 when Power FM was pretty massive around Hampshire.
JackanorySFC Posted 26 July, 2011 Posted 26 July, 2011 I seem to remember it running from the late 90s til around 2005 when Power FM was pretty massive around Hampshire. Started in about 93 I think - Ocean Colour Scene played (err, along with Gina G).
GenevaSaint Posted 27 July, 2011 Posted 27 July, 2011 So when was the last one in Southampton, Hoglands park? It was before 97 when my daughter was born, just can't remember exact year!
Thedelldays Posted 27 July, 2011 Posted 27 July, 2011 Started in about 93 I think - Ocean Colour Scene played (err, along with Gina G). Power in the park was huge. Went a few times Saw boy zone, Peter andre and Daphne and celest. Good times
