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

[searcher1 10]

Okay anyone remember the early 70's - Queens Road ...

Mecca Entertainments centre which encompassed The Silver Blades Ice Rink (dodgy big time then), Samatha's Discoteque (1st Floor) and Mecca Bingo (ground floor) which on Friday/Saturday nights from 9pm till 2am became the Alhambra. The Alhambra which was a seriously packed place weekly and had a £2 admission charge (if I recall)? Must not forget the Craywood casino (very exclusive and posey) in the lower ground floor.

Doe's anyone remember the gogo dancers from the 60's early 7o's particularly anyone with the surname brown

For anyone who fondly remembers, The Mojo, the Penthouse, Down Broadway, The Ark and other local clubs.

 

The murals and posters that I and others painted and produced in those places are all included in a new book, 'Pop Art of Sheffield's King Mojo Club & Beyond' that I co-authored with Dave Manvell and Peter Stringfellow.

 

It can be bought in Sheffield or online at local publishers youbooks. Its only £9.99 and the authors royalties are going towards a new brittle bone canner for the Sheffield Childrens Hospital.

 

Please spread the word.

 

The 60s! What a ride!

Saw Jimmy Ruffin at the Fiesta and the four tops aslo that hypnotist (can't remember his name). We used to get free tickets from my friends sister.

 

We used to go to 'Baileys' quite a bit in the 70's

 

Before we started going into town, we'd go to the Heartbeat (now Stars and Mayfair) on a tuesday night and when we got in half the school was there. Remember 'Mighty Atom' ?
