I remember it too. It was on the RHS going up High Street. I didn't go there though as it was considered a place where the 'smoothies' went............I much preferred the Penthouse :clap:

Right place, but wrong description Mo, it was as rough as bear's ar....behind in there. I agree about the Penthouse being better though ;)

Josephine’s smooth , maybe , crazy daisy never , not as I remember it anyway . But then again I am talking about 25 years ago !:loopy:

I remember it well. Won a bottle of champagne on one of them crazy nights where the DJ was asking for certain items to win a prize. I was the first to give him a pair of underpants. If you search the forum you will find other posts about the Daisy and the Mucky Duck.

hi all

i remember the daisy . i used to be a member of a club band called AXIS we played at the crazy daisy.a few times in the 70s. have some great memories.:)

Yep, I remember the Crazy Daisys, i was there every saturday night among other nights in the 70s, great place, great times, great bunch of lads & lasses, it wasn't a dive when i was there, though i may have contributed to that image "the drunk in the corner" once went out with one of the bar maids Christine was her name, lovely lass, I have nothing but good memories of the place.

I have a vague memory of occasional short visits to the place, en route to other clubs. If I recall correctly [and I believe I do] in the early 80s the place was full of Sheffield men attempting to look like Bryan Ferry, dressed in box jackets and sporting hilarious pencil moustaches.

i remember it but ive never been in, was too young and i wasnt into "smoothy" music lol


in every bit of information about music in sheffield they always bring up the fact the human league met the girls in there who later joined the band, im fed up of hearing about that bit tbh :P

My mum fell down the steps at the crazy daisy. Must have hurt,

I remember going in when it was the Geisha and the Legends. It a GT New now isn't it?

First nightclub I ever went to, around 15 at the time used to have some great live bands.:thumbsup:

I finished my "bachelor night" off in the "Crazy Daisy" Unfortunately things got out of hand and the place got totally "wrecked"
It closed down after that night and re-opened as the "Geisha Bar " and I got married with the proverbial "Black eye"

My mum used to work @ the city hall in the late 70/80's & we used to wait for the bus outside the Daisey at night after she had been working on conserts, I used to think " that must be full of nutters, there was allways people coming out in nazi uniforms, some dressed in all black (now known as goths!)

I also remember the Crazy Daisy as a Bier Keller when it first opened!

his name was danny

I remenber the daisy, met my first wife there, me and my mates had a competition to see who could be the first to pull different types of girl each time we went (you know fat, thin, tall short etc etc). I won the girl in specs comp and met her again the next night by the Fish tank in the hole in the road, got married at 18 and divorced at 25

I spent a lot of my mispent youth in the Daisy, I loved the place. There were Punk and Bowie nights which were my faves but it could get a tad rough and the beer was like P***. I once saw someone dye their hair blue in the toilet sink! :confused: Fortunately before it closed down, the world renowned Limit club emerged giving the Daisy folk a new and better place to go. It was still a top place for the time though:)

I also remember it as a bier keller.Sheffields first,before The Hofenbrau(Berlins) .It was called The Lowenbrau(as in the beer)

Just as a point of interest. I have a proffesional role at the premises to which it was attached (Telegraph House).
The daisy was actually the basement if memory serves me correctly and is still vacant. It was also at one time a German Beer Kellar and I had many a great night in both establishments,

my dad met my mum there when he was tasked with keeping her handbag safe and someone crawled under the table and nicked it. He always talks about it when he used to go down with the other aprentices from Davy's

could be wrong but didnt ray stewart ex radio hallam dj work there

I loved the lunch time sessions there. It was very rowdy and the beer was like Pis* Always a good Idea to take you own pernod with you. Anyone remember the bouncers ... John ... was one of them a friend of mine and Neville ( black guy) I bought him a drink on my 18 th birthday ...I'd been going in there 18 months. It was a shame a few people got hurt there as it was a really cool place to go and meet friends. Mr Jamison was the manager. I had loads a fun/blackouts ...making a tit of myself but always getting back in.

Can't remember him there, but I do remember him from The Merry England.

I know he owned the Mojo and the Penthouse, but I seem to have a memory of Peter Stringfellow owning the Daisy. I know that someone will correct me if my memory is playing tricks with me:)

Snap. It had two bars as I reacll. :thumbsup:

I used to go in on Saturday afternoons when it was dark and HOT! Lots of Bob Marley, reggae and black dudes looking cool in dreads. During the week they served great cheese omelettes at lunchtime, and when I told my mum she went in to check the place out!!
Thanks for bringing back some great memories of 'dangerous' times!

Remember it well - one of the first things I noticed about Sheffield when I arrived as a student (that and the "no spitting" signs on the 69 bus) :-)

dave jamieson managed it , he managed turn ups after the daisy.

I also worked at the daisy along with my sister in law Linda and the bar manager was called Keith if I remember correctly. He worked alonside Jameson.

nope after leaving the daisy he took over romeos and juliets on bank street and then bloomers I know I worked for him he was a scot

My mum 'Sandra' worked at 'Daisy' . Another barmaid worked with her called 'Dot' . I remember her mentioning Jamieson name, i think she hated him.

The 1st time I went in I saw a girl sat on a guys lap,they weren't at bible class!!!!!!!!!!!

nope after leaving the daisy he took over romeos and juliets on bank street and then bloomers I know I worked for him he was a scot

he still managed turn ups . I knew him and his family .

No, I think you'll find that was called "Dwon Broadway" or some such.

Down Broadway was Stringfellows place.

The Daisy was always good for a pint on a Saturday afternoon - and then on to the WMC's

he still managed turn ups . I knew him and his family .

He did manage turnups but that was after bloomers like temptress said he was an ex prison officer was Jamieson always remeber that white hair of his and his wife ,but he was a leach ,his poor wife she would come in the daisy and his other woman would be in there too ,we all used to try and work on the top bar at the other end of the club when this happened

The Crazy Daizy was my first real club and it was just fantastic. Did anyone go to the Roxy and Bowie nights on a Wednesday? They were so cool. All the guys thought they were Bryan ferry (including my boyfriend) and all the girls tried to be like The Sirens. The music was unlike any other club. After the Roxy and Bowie nights came punk; it was so different to the boring "townie" clubs like Josephines. Used to go every Monday,Wednesday night and Saturday afternoon. So many happy memories.

Hi, yes, I mentioned quite a way back in this thread that I used to love 'The Daizy' before 'The Limit' became my club of choice.Of course I remember the Roxy/Bowie nights and I was always dancing on that stage opposite the DJ box!!Used to go the same night s as you.

wasn`t thursday night at roxy`s grab a granny night lol

wasn`t thursday night at roxy`s grab a granny night lol

yep it was also called , the last chance and widows hut .
Love those thursdays at roxies .

The Roxy and Bowie nights were fab for lovers of these two legendary artists. I remember the place looking like a mini Hofbrau.

Used to go the Roxy-Bowie nights and then the Punk nights,goodtimes. I think they should have a Daisy renunion night, like the limit, give people a chance to dress up again!

OMG I loved the Roxy and Bowie night at C D. Dressed in a hobble skirt and fox fur emulating the 40s!!!!

My friend went in a full G.I uniform,people made an effort to look good.

One song that ALWAYS reminds me of the Daisy is walking in Rythm by the blackbyrds. It was THE place to go if you were into Roxy and Bowie.

I also remember we used to be let out of school at dinnertime on the last day of term, and we used to g down the daisy. It was really dark as it was downstairs, and when they kicked you out at 3.30pm it was really strange coming out into full daylight!!!!

i loved the crazy daisy i went most nights, and the penthouse.wish i could remember morean any one remember a couple who danced all night both good looking he danced round her she wore a dress that was cut down the side so you new she had no under wear on,wonder what they are doing now.

I remember going in - but for some reason cant ever remember coming out !!!

I know he owned the Mojo and the Penthouse, but I seem to have a memory of Peter Stringfellow owning the Daisy. I know that someone will correct me if my memory is playing tricks with me:)

I think it was his brother who owned it, think it was called the "Heartbeat" if my memory hasn't got it mixed up with the one above the old Silverblades on Queens road.

AAAhhhhh! Bowie,Cockney Rebel,Roxy Music anybody remember that girl who used to dress in a bin liner ? she was stunning and one week came in a clear plastic bag with black bra and pants! I still havnt recovered 25 years later !
Oh I was one of those dudes pretending to be Bryan Ferry together with Chris Pearson,Jackie from Med Physics are you out there ?

I remember the bin liner girl but I thought it was over 25 years ago.

It IS over 25 years ago, way over. Mind you, as you get older, you do lose track of time!:suspect::hihi:

yeah your alll right Im thinking of 1974-1976 period,I was a student at the time and in a parallel universe,remember the dance floor when "both ends burning" came on !?
The music,the style,the ambience of the club and our younger age combined to make it a period never to be forgotten..............35 Years ago it is ! now I really feel old.

Ohhhh Bryan Ferry!! Woud have sold my soul for just five minutes alone with him in those days. Me and my friends never missed Roxy night at the Daisy in those days, Do you remember that slinky dance you did to " Love is the drug" and "Both Ends Burning" We used to dress in tight pencil skirts and Roxy girl style clothes but never looked as cool as the " In Crowd" that used to pose about at the far end of the Daisy in ever more bizarre outfits. Ohh I wish I had a time machine , just to go back and enjoy one night like they were then.

As an 18-19 year old I could never get in, didn't look old enough. Got in on Saturday afternoons though and had a good time. All sorts was in there.

Went to the Penthouse once as a 'guest' of the Proudies off the Manor. Never Again!

I remember using my fake (oops) student union card to get in, Paul Raffique (?) on the door. Dancing to John Foxx Underpass wonderful times x

Underpass - John Foxx, excellent record! The Daisy was a great place for it's time, sort of setting the stage for the arrival of The Limit I guess.
