Your memories of Josephine's Nightclub.

Recommended Posts

What are people's memories of this once popular club which at one time was considered the poshest in Sheffield?

 

I am particulary interested in memories of the early 1990's period.

I can remember there was a bloody big bouncer giant of a man but very quiet and polite until someone upset him . :)

Boring - full of people who worked in offices and thought that "personnel", "accounts" and "sales" were cutting edge.

I always thought Josephines was supposed to be a cut above otheer clubs but personally I always prefered Roxy's.

Wayne Chadwick used to own it did'nt he? I used to work in the Fountain Bar when it was down a flight of stairs and he owned that as well. He was a bit of a prat if I recall. Did not know his son though.

I believe Dave Allan owned Joshephines - maybe still does? Skippy was the smaller doorman who was also the wrestler. We called the bigger bouncer Garth! My recollections are in the 70's however.
