Sheffield's nightclubs - do you remember...?


Recommended Posts

I don't recall the 'Bierkeller' being on Bank Street (behind the old A.B.C. Cinema). To me that was the 'Cavandish Club' which opened in May 1967, later changing it's name to 'Bailey's' and after that to 'Romeo and Juliet's'.

Does anyone remember the Tuesday Night Disco Dancing at Nether Edge Hall.

Also the Heartbeat Club at Silver Blades on Queens Road used to go there with my friends on a Saturday Night.

Great Tuesday nights at Nether Edge Hall. With regards to the Heartbeat, Tuesdays and Sunday nights were the most popular for us and Saturdays we usually ended up at the Top Rank after visiting the Buccaneer and the Claymore. From about 1974 onwards the Craisy Daisy was our popular haunt. Happy days!

Hello Everyone,

 

I wrote a new blog about seeing bands at The Broadfield, Nowsoc in Bar 2 at the University and the Blitz club at the George IV.

Enjoy.

I worked at Talk of the Town on Carver st in 1978 also at Genevieve Max O'Mara used to own both clubs and if they were short staffed one of us would go to work at Genevieve. Most of my nights off would be spent at the Fiesta Live acts & chicken in a basket. Great.

I know the posting is old but I'll reply. The Mighty Atom's real name was Chris, don't know last name, although someone on here has put Crossley I think. He was the DJ at the Heartbeat (above the ice rink) when I used to go there 1970. I often wondered over the years how he was, what he was up to, then saw him in "Come Dine with Me", set in Sheffield, a few years ago. Not once did he mention his dj-ing days.

Think you mean Max Omar - he didn't look very Irish to me LOL

 

His name was Max Omare and he rang me up one night when short staffed in Genevieve's (around 1973) to help out in the cloakroom.

Ah mighty melvin, used to drive Him around to his gigs now and then, bit of a minder if you like. Never got any trouble from the men but the women used to go mental.

 

For those who don't know, Melvyn passed away about 4 years ago, Christmas time. I went to his funeral.

In reply to Sheffield's nightclubs - do you remember ?

 

My friend and I used to go to the Heartbeat above Silver Blades Ice Rink every Saturday Night, and the DJ was called Chris Hey.

I remember going to the mojo when i was underage. Just remember it being black walls covered in psychedelia, absolutely packed and lots of really sweaty bodies!! Would go round to my mates who was 2yrs older than me, turn my skirt over at the waistband and she would put black stuff on my eyes and white stuff on my lips and off we would go.

 

The Mojo (Pitsmoor Road) wasn't really a 'Nightclub' as they didn't sell alcohol. They did have 'All-Niter's' some Saturdays and some "All day' Sundays', both still no alcohol. I still believe the latter two were the downfall of the place as nearby residents weren't even overjoyed about the earlier times.
