I remeber club 60, didn't it used to be in rthe cellars of an old pub.

Once went there with a mate of mine who was in the BMG (Banjo, Mandolin & Guitar) club which used to meet there regulary. Only went once, imagine 50 odd people all strumming away all at different talent levels.

RE club 60
I used this club quite a lot in the 60s. the lighting consisted of candels placed on the table(which was realy a beer barrel).They did not have a licence for alcohol(so you had to nip in the Ship inn for a quick one) the resident group was called Frankenstine & the Monsters. The lead singer(Frankenstine?) Was later known as Ray Stuart ,DJ at radio Hallam! Happy Days! Dave

Yep the Club 60 was another Sheffield Icon of the 60's. We went there a few times & I think one of the things I remember most about it apart from the great music was the musty smell & the darkness. As was said previously the tables were beer barrels. Good club & always plenty of people in it.

Although I am way to young to have been a member of club 60, (I wasn't even a twinkle in my dads eye!), I do know alot about this place. About 5 yers ago, Friends of my brother, bought a shop next to the ship inn, opened a printshop there which produced the above mentioned book, But low and behold, when they first went downstairs to the cellars, they found the club, intact like in a time capsule, a little damp, but everything still in place. With a group of friends including myself, we got to work and restored it. Now, although not a club as such, it still is renown amongst the muso's of the sheffield music scene as a top venue for live bands aswell as a recording studio, and venue for private parties. It still retains the old look and the arched brick ceilings give it amazing acoustics not to mention, class!

Were you a drummer in the boys brigade at St Lukes, and later with JC ?

Fascinating to read about the restoration of Club 60. Whenever I pass I always think there should be a blue plaque on the door. I went a couple if times mid sixties and my brother was a member. He told me John Lennon was a member.

Can you let me have any information about that, numbers, hire etc? PM me and I'll give you my email addy.
