CHEVY'S AND YOGI'S - 1988

Bar Chevrolet (AKA Chevy's), and Yogi's, were both linked to Fat Sams.

Chevy's and Fat Sams were next door to each other, with both places putting on gigs under the Dance Factory banner.

The top ad dates from June '88 and gives some general information about the food, drink, music & games they had on offer at Chevy's.

The middle ad is from November '88 and lists a few of the bands who were playing at Chevy's that month, including a reminder that the pub also had Sunday jazz sessions - with the late, great, Jimmy Deuchar performing on this occasion.

The Yogi's ad is dated March '88. This was a new club night that started up that year and was to be found at Wee Sams ( Fat Sams diner).

They specialised in dance music - hip hop & house with a touch of retro 70's funk in the mix.

There was free admission for those in Yogi Bears (flares)!

GIG LIST FOR APRIL 1989

From the pages of Dundee's "On The Street" magazine, here's a few Dance Factory gigs listed for end of March to end of April 1989.

Although you can read the ads ok without needing to enlarge them, I'm gonna type out the content for "search" purposes.

So on at Fat Sams were - KEVIN McDERMOTT ORCHESTRA - FRAZIER CHORUS - GAIL ANN DORSEY - HURRAH!

Chevy's had - BIRDLAND - REFORM CLUB - BRILLIANT IDEA - A CAR CALLED JAMES - BIG BLUE 72.

And playing at the Royal Oak - THE RAINMATES.
