I went to the Penthouse (Dixon Lane) and the Limit (West Street I think). We also used to go to the Top Rank on Saturday in the daytime.

I am theresa Kelly, I lived on the upper Wybourn from 1955 to 1972, any friends from St Oswalds or Wybourn School out there?

Cairo Jack's(formerly Romeo and Juliet's)does not still exist.The club on bank street was the venue for the Corporation a couple of years ago which is now at the Unit.

I went to
Penny Farthing
Penthouse
Genevieve

and virtually lived in the Buccaneer

:D Lacarno was a very good pick up joint in my days going back 40 years though.

Samson and Hercules with flares and brogues

Crazy Daisy was my hang out in 1979
I lived in that place, Ha! I remember a Bowie night on Wednesdays and Jazz Funk on Sundays.
Then it was Romeo and Juliets and Top Rank for Disco on Fridays.
in the 80's I went to Josephines. I was a member of that place.
I like the late night bus from the High Street at 1.30am
Not before getting a kebab at Chubbies on Cambridge Street.

The Limit, to see Revillos, Victor Drago, Purple Hearts, Secret Affair, Phil Rambo band and loads of fighting. Faces, Turn ups and Steely's, Penthouse, Bailey's. I was always too ****** to be allowed in Josies in anycase I didn't have a BMW keyring and the sicky smooth talk required to pull a bimbo.

Yes, Josies was always like that. Full of poseurs and tarty girls in stilettos and tight skirts: Oh, that was me!
Ha ha, I met one my boyfriends there and he had a BMW.
Those were the days!

Hi All,

My hangouts were:-

Penthouse, Hofenbrauhaus, Wapentake, Nelson and the odd trip to Josephines with my mates from work.

I enjoyed every minute of it!! (Thanks Kathy)8)

Hofbrauhaus: that brings back memories. Oompa bands and beer out of big steins. Dancing on tables too and music that we would be ashamed to admit that we enjoyed when in normal circles.
My hair wasn't shaggy or long enough for the Wapentake. I also didn't have the tattoos and leather that was required to get in.
I was a former punk rocker not a head banger. Josies changed all that as I became refined!! Ha Ha. Things may have changed but I still dance on the tables now and again!! LOL

Also did the Wap, when the police raided it we used to set ping pong balls on fire and let them smoulder, it drove the police sniifer dogs wild...don't know why! Oh, and the warm Newky brown....

You drove the dogs wild?
What dogs were they again?
Oh police dogs? Sorry :P

This sounds so familiar!Only I didn't do the Daisy very often but had loads of friends who did.
We always used to catch the late night bus home.I used to love it as it was always the same people on the bus!So if you were on your own because your mates had pulled you always had someone you knew on the bus.
I used to cath the one which did Stannington,Wisewood & then down to Middlewood.I was the last one of all my mates to get off!!
Which was your late night bus?

Heres the list of clubs i went to during the 70's

Roxys
Romeo & Juliets
Fiesta
Baileys
Hoffenbru
Tiffanys

And a good night had by all happy days

We used to come from Filey just to go to the Limit, on West Street in the 80's...and then drive back or sleep in Weston Park if we were too drunk.

Wearing the gear required, we were considered fraks inn our little part of Yorkshire!

:rolleyes:

Hi
i was at nightclubs most nights of the week..have really good memories..Turn ups, Romeos was my fave, Pennys, also tiffanys at Rotherham..

I use to spend quite a few saturdays in the wopantake thats if you spell it like that listening to the heavy rock music and in a bar that use to be under the grand hotel on leoplod street the thing I didnt like was supping out of plastic glasses as for the night clubs there was only one for me and that was rebels I use to go out with a lot of mates who was into rock music and now 30 years on I am still into rock music it is now a brillant thing that the nelson as now gone back to rock music after a 30 year gap, talking of pubs can anyone remember what they called that pub across from the city hall what use to be on the corner what is now the witherspoons,they use to play a fair bit of rock music but the other one that should never have been altered was the orchid pub best rock pub in sheffield.

Bigkev

The boozer on the corner opposite the City Hall was the Albert.

Bar under the hotel on Leopold Street was the Buccaneer.

the hoffenbrau and then scamps what a night.also romeo and juliets among others

More 80's than 70's but I seem to remember my week consisted of:

Roxys up the ramp of shame on a Tuesday for party night (free tickets/bottle of plonk)
Romeos on a Thursday night for more of the same
Fannys at Owler Bar on Friday if we could get someone to take the car
Kiki's Saturday
Charlie Parkers Sunday

Every other spare minute was spent in the Woodthorpe pub.

Used to go to the Top Rank every Saturday morning. Saw Hot Chocolate twice, Ian Drury and the Blockheads, and others. Everyone seemed to talk about the Northern Soul all nighters in Wigan. I never got there though.

Oh dear I wasnt born while the late 70's so I didnt go to any!

lol.

The Limit was great, so was Turn Ups (in Nether Edge - wierd place for a Nightclub!). My favourite was Genevieves, especially on a wednesday night.

The Genevieve was owned by a guy named Max O'mara it was down the Moor on the road that went behind the Grovesnor Hotel. The nightclub at Owler Bar was first Five Ways then Fanny's.Originally posted by mikey

Fannys?

Hi Marie, maybe we know each other as I also worked in the Fiesta around 1978 we had some dodgy red uniforms made and a guy called Terry Pickering was the manager. Also worked in Baileys, Turn Ups and Five Ways/Fanny's. Have to agree Fiesta was brilliant, worked there when Alvin Stardust did a one night show also saw Jim Davidson in his early days. Lets see who else: Sasha Distel, Roger de Courcey, Martin St James to name just a few!Originally posted by marie1951

Back of Debenhams

What did they call that club in rotherham with the swimming pool?

Looking through rose tinted glasses……you could have a good time in most of the clubs in the 70’s….I’ll always have a soft spot for the Crazy Daisy……the Northern Soul nights in Samantha’s bring back some good memories.

Can anyone remember Max O'mara's bright yellow Rolls?

I used to work for Max Omare at his first club - Shades - on Ecclesall Road and I lost contact with him in 1970 when I moved to Essex. He was just opening the new club Genevieve which was on Charter Row under a multi-storey car-park.

I'd love to contact anyone who worked at Shades, or the staff who transferred to Genevieve.

On my night off I used to go to the Top Rank and The Buccaneer, but most of the others mentioned here weren't even open then...

All the best, Graham.

I used to go to the Scout hut disco on Archer Lane.

Can anyone remember Max O'mara's bright yellow Rolls?
Yes, I do!!!!!

This is an old post but i just found it, the company i used to work for did the electrical construction for the Genevieve, and we got free tickets or passes to the opening night it was something else, I also used to work behind the bar at the Buccaneer, love to go in the Nelson also, had a crush on one of the bar lad there, he worked at his day job in the same steel company i did, used to melt if he said hello to me. oh well those where the days, I worked at Gallaghers Electrical Contractors if anyone did or recalls, its been so long ago, iv been gone for over 35 years,

Did anyone know of a portugese guy named ray- could have possiby been spanish or italian. He was 26 - 30ish in 1978 and used to go to Tiffanys and josephines. he was smartly dressed, hair slicked back. Olive skin, bit of a ladies man. He used to knock around with some latin american guys and may have had a jewellers or a limo company. ANy info please get in touch, whether that about him or who he used to knock aroud with.

thank you

I'm presently compiling the 'Dirty Stop Out's Guide to 1970s Sheffield' which has pics/memoirs of all the fab venues mentioned. There's also a 'Dirty Stop Out's Guide to 1970s Sheffield' Facebook group with a lot of photos/ads from the era ( http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/group.php?gid=352642427121&ref=ts). The book's set to be out later this year...
