I remember a bouncer back in the 70s known to everyone as "dummy" = i worked in the clubs back then and he was one of the best doormen around but never actually knew his real name = it was used as an affectionate term I know that sounds wrong now but thats just how everyone knew him and he knew that also.

 

anytime between about 1978 and 1983/4 I would have been there, loved the place and the music.

 

Plain Talker - "...I remember the nightclub above the Silver-Blades Ice Rink, but I remember it as "Stars" (I cannot remember what it is called now..)..."

 

The place was called Samantha's in the 1970's, before it became Stars, it was a famous Northern Soul and Disco place. I first went in when I was about 14! Went in loads of times aged 15/16, remember spending my last bit of money on a drink and walking home with another lad from school, at about 2.30am, wondering if I had done the right thing, going clubbing, when I had a maths exam at school the next day (O-leves)!

Interesting thread. Happy days. Remember most places particularly Fiesta and Cavendish for the entertainment. One of my favourites was Long John Baldrey. Also saw Del Shannon, Dave Allen, 4 Tops and many more. Remember walking home from the Fiesta one New Years Eve right to Mosbro. It had started to snow and we couldn't get a Taxi:)

Can anyone remember the Cavendish Nightclub ?

It opened in May 1967.

I was only sixteen at the time so it had changed to Baileys

Nightclub before I got in the place in the early 70's.

By then the Fiesta Nightclub was pulling in the big names.

Can anyone recall the artists who appeared at The Cavendish

in it's early days ?

I think Dusty Springfield was the first artist to appear there.

 

Dave Allen, Matt Monroe, Kiki Dee, Mike and Bernie Winters, to name just a few M Hill
