I work with someone who says she worked at the Phono in the 1970's. I can't verify if this is the truth as I never went and the only history of the place I know is from what I have read here but she said she used to do the burgers, and before heating the hotplate up she had to scrape the rat poo off it. She also said it was never cleaned, so if indeed they did do burgers in there and any of you had one, you may well have consumed more than you bargained for.

LE PHONOGRAPHIQUE REUNION - 1st AUGUST 2008!!There will be a 'Le Phonographique' reunion on Friday August 1st 2008 at Rio's, Leeds (in Ricky's).A fair number of DJs from the 80's and 90's will be playing the music of the time. There is a pillar in the middle of the dancefloor for the gothic hokey-cokey. Anyone that used to frequent this unique, dirty dive are cordially invited to attend. We cant guarantee you'll get dirty as Ricky's is a nicer club these days. This will be a fantastic chance to meet many of the old faces and catch up with people you ain't seen in years so tell everyone who used to go.Tickets will be £5 on the door, dress code is what ever you want.Guaranteed to be an event not to miss!

On an earlier page, someone mentioned that Hendrix had popped in to the Phono before doing a gig at Ilkley in '67. I must have missed him, but what happened is that he was supposed to do a gig at the Stoney Lea Hotel at Ilkley, a venue with a safety limit of about 200. Unfortunately about 3000 people turned up (It was pay on the door in those days) so the police and fire services wouldn't letthe gig go ahead. I remember there was a mini riot, so a bunch of us went on the sauce down in Otley.There was a band played the Phonograph(as it was then called) circa 70 called the Voodoo Children. I think one of the members had a brother known as Roger the DJ who used to DJ in the Hyde Park pub around '71.Also anyone remember Big Tony Hardcastle (A proper gentleman) and Marco Marroco on the door?
Old Mods never die, they just semi retire.

I remember going to Le Phono on Saturday afternoons and then through to Wakey on the bus to go to Players and the Beehive. This must have been just before it closed in the 90s but it was still pretty "goth" - I wasn't remotely a goth and was always a bit scared. How was the reunion night? It sounds ace, sorry I missed that!
