| R&B Club Mobile Disco
The R&B Club Mobile Disco was available for hire for private parties such as 21st Birthdays, and we carried out many bookings at venues such as The Four Mile The Blue Lamp We got lots of bookings, often two or three a week. Perhaps that's why I didn't get a better degree! The first booking ever, was for a local lad known as Dutch. Dutch's 21st birthday party was held upstairs at the Blue Lamp. It started at 10pm when the downstairs bar closed. The fee was one guinea, in other words 21 shillings. Do you remember Dutch? He worked at Aberdeen Photographic opposite Telemech
We placed an advert in the paper as well

AFTER UNIVERSITY After leaving Aberdeen I started working at the Independent Television Authority in Knightsbridge, which later became The Independent Broadcasting Authority. I spent my spare time building a new set of disco equipment. My disco was based in Thornton Heath in Surrey and was known as the Doctor Sureshot disco the name coming from Dandy's big Jamaican 45 'Doctor Sureshot' on the Downtown label.
