feederfil   10 #13 Posted December 29, 2004 I don't think that Yes played Down Broadway and I don't think that Ray Stewart d.j.d there. The Ark was on Commonside and you are right Highway 61 was at Heeley oppposite the Bridge Inn . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
goldenfleece   11 #14 Posted December 29, 2004 YES did apparently play DOWN BROADWAY in 1969, see this YES web site link. Wish I was there......  http://yesfans.com/  look under forgotten yesterdays and then the list of gigs from the early years.   Ray Stuart DJ'd at the Black Swan as far as I know, not sure re DOwn Broadway, but as he was a good mate of Mr Stringfellow so no doubt may have done some gigs there. The last time I saw him alive (ray Stuart) was in 1982 supping many pints of ale and knocking back whiskey chasers in the YORK in Broomhill. I knew him vaguely as he was something of a regular in the YORK, as well as numerous other ale houses all over town. A heavy drinker to say the least, he was the size of several buses in 1982.

I have these little memories hidden away in pockets of my brain, its nice to know that at least some are real and not imagined.

hazel   11 #17 Posted January 1, 2005 Originally posted by goldenfleece 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?  There were 2 shoeshops in High St about that time. One was Saxone and one was Dolseys, if I remember right Saxone was where Nat West is now and Dolseys was across the Rd. I presume all the places had basements cos the place to donate blood was underneath where Marks and Spencers is now.  Hazel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

rubydazzler   11 #21 Posted March 29, 2005 The "King" Mojo was just opposite Abbeyfield Park, where that stone wall goes alongside the main road, there's a flats complex built there now. It was the old Day's dance hall prior to the Stringfellows taking it over.  Saw some great bands there in the sixties...  Are you thinking of Turn-ups? That was at the old Nether Edge Dance Hall till some miserable party pooper residents got it closed down in the late seventies. It was a good place to go for the over 25s ... shame there's nowhere like it now. Brian Westlake was the resident DJ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Do not remember much about it so can anyone else.  The St Aidens church hall was the BC club, and had quiet a lot of decent bands on, sadly one of the things that stands out are the number of stolen handbags that used to appear on the toilet floor.
