Phill & Steve left to a join a Neil Young-esque rock band in 1996 (Phill would come back the next year).

Dave Baynton-Power – (b.29.01.61 in Kent) is a musician, best known as drummer of the long existing English rock band James. In his youth, when his family moved to Holyhead (when he was 9), he describes himself as a “tearaway”.

This was the last such event, partly because the financial drain on Gogs was contributory to their eventual demise, and also because some of the “Sponsors’ who “Donated” prizes, never did so, the prizes eventually coming directly out of Gog’s Music Director’s Pockets.

Bistro, The – Since it’s closure in Feb99, The Savoy Bistro of Rhyl is enjoying real cult status; it is referred to as the place to be, & the only true alternative nightspot in North Wales. The truth beknown, the club had been on a downward spiral for about 5 years before it’s inevitable closure. With less money to share amongst students & the rave scene taking off, The Bistro never quite caught up with the rest of Rhyl’s numerous nightclubs, & went from being open 6 nights a week, down to Thursday, Friday & Saturday, then down to just weekends before finally closing. The Bistro did attempt to play ‘catch-up’ with the scene by installing a 2nd dancefloor for trance music where Yassassin took up residency but there is only so much you can do with 4 disco lights & a CD player. During the late 70′s & through the 80′s the club enjoyed the success of being an attraction to ‘freaks’ as the populace called them. But the kids who wanted an alternative nightspot all went to the Bistro, which changed to suit the alternative trends of new wave through to the Madchester scene. Martin Trehearn, younger brother of main-man Pete, introduced live bands to the club on a Thursday night with some names like, Cyrff, Anhrefn, 4Q, Pyw Dall, Abs, Wizzards of Twiddley, Adams Family, Scat Opera, Dr Phibes & The House of Wax Equations, Psychosexual Sex Terrestrials. Neil Crud started off his DJing during these nights in 1990 for a year, before teaming up with Andy Fatman‘s Yassassin Soundsystem in 1997. The decline in business led to Thursday being closed & further decline brought bands in on Fridays to help boost trade. Sentient, Blush, Sons of Selina, Junebug, Elephants Home, She Said, Fluff, Blue, Supermania & Mike Peters (returning to the place where he used to work as a barman), all played before the Bistro finally closed it’s doors for good. The club was used as a set for the 2013 film Vinyl. (gig list)
