anyone ever go to the disc jockey back in the 60's?

Oh yes, late 50's, early 60's even.......I got sacked from my job at C&A's and afraid to tell my parents, I went out every morning as if I was going to work and would sit in the various coffee bars that were around at the that time...
Disc Jockey, Marsdens Teen Bar and maybe a few others.....I eventually confessed when my holiday money ran out.....:rolleyes:
Oh, incidently I got sacked for being late......we had to clock in and anything over 8.50 had to be signed and explained to, by a supervisor.......I got three in a week........ total of.....5 minutes
Can you imagine that today.:hihi:

I went in the D.J. regularly from about 1956-7 until it closed .
Harry Hart owned it in the '50's . I think a very attractive girl who worked behind the counter was called ' Kath ' [?] .
There were loads of characters used to go in , day and night .
One example , was ' Mad Murf ' . Anyone remember him ? Sadly , he died a few years ago .
Physically , the D.J. was nothing special ------just a few tables and a juke box -------but there were so few places for us teenagers then , it was important to us ; an island in an adult world ! I know these places have been mentioned on other threads but just for the record , around that time , there was the Teenage Tavern [ under Marsden's Milk Bar , Pinstone St. ] , the Mambo [ Union St. ] , two Somali restaurants [ Button Lane and Matilda St.] , the New Orleans [ junction of London Rd. and Abbeydale Rd. ] , the Teenbar [ under Heeley Bridge ] and the Rendezvous [ roughly where London Rd. becomes Chesterfield Rd.].
They're the only ones I remember from in or near the city and I went in 'em all .In the early '60's more and more cafes came on the scene but the ones I've mentioned were mainly for teenagers .
Some great characters around then ; I suppose because a lot of people then lived near the city centre and cities always seem to attract characters .

Hello, I don't recall her name, mine was Pat Nalor, would you ask her if she knew me?

Didn't Johnny Wheelhouse run the Disc Jockey in the early 60's before becoming a Fish Frier somewhere up Hillsboro/Wadsley way. I believe he now lives in Spain - there was an article about him in the Star a year or so ago after his wife died there tragically after a hospital error or suchlike.
