Hi Plane Talker.

I remember Alan Kilby from the 60's. Alan worked with me as a doorman (bouncer) I can't remember exactly where, I worked at quite a few places at that time as a doorman but I think it might have been the casino in the same building as the icerink and bowling ally You couldn't have wished to meet a nicer bloke, a real gent. Unless of corse you crossed him ha ha I also remember seeing him on tv wrestling against chaps like Mick Mcmanus. Is he still around?

 

Yeah Alan's still around, I see him at the deaf club, from time to time. he was well, the last time I saw him

 

I was at school (I mentioned before) with his daughter, and my mother was friends with his mother.

Someone asked about the resident band at the Fiesta?

 

It was the Terry Clayton Band for most of the Fiesta's existence, although initially the band was lead by someone else (can't remember that far back!).

 

Terry on drums, Roger (trumpet), Ken? (sax) - plus various others at different times.

 

There was also a brief period when the Andy Wardough (sp?) band were resident, along with loadsa dancers.

 

 

Ah, happy days!!

 

Ruthie, I think it was larry on keyboard - did i hear right that Terry died? compares name was pat m'c cluskey I remember cos I worked there @ age 18 and had an enormous crush on him:D

I joined the cavendish in 1967, after the Locarno closed for refurbishment ,to re-open as Tiffany's,It had a casino and the Latino Lounge which hosted up and coming acts, then there was the go-go room ( a small disco) happy days. I saw the Love Affair,LesDawson,Marmalade, and does anyone remember Tiny Tim?

15 in '67 but still remember going to the Cavendish. tall for my age! I can remember seeing Tiny Tim. Could almost have been Michael Jackson's dad he was so wierd. Just thought - wrong colour! Can also remember seeing Suzi Quattro who was most definitely the worse for wear (we can't say p****sed can we! The Grumbleweeds were brilliant.

In the mid-60's I used to go to The Penny Farthing which I think was near where Berlin's is. It was the in-place to go on Thursday nights when several local football stars attended.

My favourite place was Nether Edge Hall on a Saturday night. the Keith Peters' Band and Match of the Day downstairs in the coffee lounge. Never any bother there and you could walk home without being mugged.

I met my first husband in the Albert - 1971. Happy days. It was the best pub around at that time - with a brilliant juke box.

 

The landlord and landlady from there moved to take over the Nelson (still around that time) - does anyone remember their names??

[artisan 10]

We had some great times in The Albert and all the pubs in that area. I was barman in The Nelson at that time , the managers name was Roger, I cant remember the name of the gaffer of the Albert though.

Does anyone remember going to the night club at the Wednesday ground in the 70s.

 

Met my husband in there who is one of the keenest Blades fans you'll ever meet. He still says Wednesday have a lot to answer for!

 

You refer to the Ozzie Owl (later Christies)

I have graet memories of it visiting it at least twice a week with my work mates at Fletchers Bakery.

Saw the legendary Tommy Hunt there and Danny Williams on the same bill. What a night that was!!

Alans father Albert Kilby worked with my Mother at Twist Drll way back in the 1950s.

I last was Alan a year or so ago in The Farm Road Club.

He still looked fit.

in reply to babs, the Alberts landlords name was Don Millward, I took over The Nelson from him in 1973.

No one has mentioned Turn-ups.This started out in Nether Edge,then moved to the old Gas building on Commercial Street at the side of Fitzalan Square.
