I believe that David Cocker lived around there, rode a Matchless motorbike  Yes, there was family called Cocker that lived near there, perhaps Jamaica Street. Was one of the brothers called Melvin ?

Deedah64   10 #155 Posted November 8, 2016 Got one on Amazon a while back. Great read. One venue not mentioned is the High STreet underground bar STringfellow ran around 1968/9 before the penthouse. I read this somewhere else that he briefly ran an underground bar on the High Street which apparently was a shoe shop on the ground floor. Now there were and have been a lot of shoe shops on High Street over the years so which one of these might have had an underground bar, apparently a large basement room which was big friday and Saturday night northern soul/disco event in 1968/9? Anyone know of a basement bar on the High street at this time which was a shoe shop upstairs? I believe it was apparently near the Old Bluebell but was this the Bluebell in 1968?  Down Broadway it's now a vintage clothes shop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
gatoruby   10 #156 Posted November 9, 2016 Yes the club was called Down Broadway The Old Blue Bell mentioned is now Cavells the shoe shop was in the corner think it could be a recruitment agency now don't go to that end of town very often. Not 100% but think the shoe shop could have been Stylo. Great times remember seeing Billy Stewart there he was brilliant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
