Reputed to be the birth place of the Human League.

Kind of..... The Human League originated in Psalter Lane Art College, but the girls were "found" in the Crazy Daisy.

My name is gloria,and i worked there for about eight years and boy did i see some sights.

My Mum worked there in the 70's.

My Mum worked there in the 70's.

If they had ever had a fire there would have been carnage, as there was no fire exits, just the narrow staircase to High Street

Phil Oakey recruited the two girls in Crazy Daisey, when the the others went off to form Heaven 17. Martin Fry's sister just missed out

My Mum worked there in the 70's.

What was her maiden name?

What was her maiden name?

Our Mum was called Maggie Bland (then)

I remember her having a yellow Crazy Daisy t-shirt

I remember, the managers name was mr voden , he was a horrible man,evil to the staff, there was a guy called Pablo on the door a huge coloured guy, and the Dj was called Settee he was big and cuddly. I worked with a woman called Denice.I knew phil Oakly and the girls and saw more fights and killings than i care to remember,BUT THERE WILL NEVER BE ANYWHERE LIKE IT AGAIN.

I used to go in every weekend and don't remember a single thing about it.:thumbsup:

Just been reading Neil Anderson's superb book "Dirty Stopout" and guess what??

I had my bachelor night and finished up in the crazy Daisy and, yes a fight broke out (myself involved ) I think the place was trashed because that was the last night Crazy Daizy opened and I got married with a black eye.It opened up as the geisha bar next time it opened.

:hihi: It was definately spelt Daisy back in teh day!!!

Does anyone remember the Roxy Nights on a Wednesday? I was a big Roxy fan in 1975/6/7 - the Daisy's heyday! I used to go in Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays plus Saturday lunchtime - also sometimes popped in at lunchtime mid week!!!! I was 17 in 1975. We used to do the 'Roxy Dance' on the dancefloor which was like a stage, right next to the big loud speakers or we would dance at the top of the steps on the dance floor. Barley wine and black was the drink as I had no money (only needed one). Later on, progressed to Pink Panthers and coloured Cocktail Cigs (not that I really smoked), I thought I looked cool! lol. The DJ at the time was Spider. It changed when Punk came into fashion and the Limit took over as THE place. I was older and more sophisticated (!) by then and went to Josephines from then onwards and sometimes Faces.

Try a barley wine and guinness Brenda it's lovely :D

:loopy: You have combined two pubs there - The Blue Bell and Golden Ball lol

It was called the Bier Keller prior to that

:cool:The Bier Keller then moved to Charter Row. That was the first 'pub' I ever went in at 16!!! God, we used to get so drunk on lager!! It was called the Bier Keller prior to that

It must have changed towards the end as I'm sure it was Daisy!

Wednesday night was "Roxy Music/David Bowie" night from memory. As you say, The Limit took over as THE cool club in Sheffield, in fact Sheffields most memorable really.

One of the best night clubs of the 70s along with the limit both fantastic places for music and Girls enjoyed meny good times in the dark.

Yes Clive was my one of brotha's who worked there and Slim.

l also worked at the crazy daisy and saw some things gloria you took me under your wing, the manager was behond evil, l took the job to see life l was just 17 very tall, remember the black door man with a shade of horror when he took us home at night. yep saw right old fights, loving, dancing, and the drinking there was abit of that.
