Punk gigs at the Marples

Recommended Posts

:hihi:My husband and I ( sound like the queen) remember the gigs at the Marpels, I remember taking extra toys with me for the get in with a toy and giving them to punx waiting to get in who had none.

I remember doing my hair in the toilets stood next to Annie from Dirt n thinking she looked so good .That hair of hers must have took some right back combing. My Husband remembers the fight at the Toy dolls gig :help:.He remember the Mau Maus the gig where they were recording a live album

I remember Becky Bondage getting coverd in spit ( yuk ):gag: n putting a blanket around her.

We also used to go to Rebels down Dixon Lane, every week it said it was the last night so everyone made sure they had a really good night.

Sheffield was a really good place to be a punk . You could go down town and meet up with your mates no need to phone them just go to the peace gardens or Woolworth cafe ( those were the days) .Where have all the good times gone? Does anyone remember the punx picnic in the park at Weston Park ? There are plenty of things we dont remember too many Barley wines me thinks.:gag:

Do you know beardy? Or are you older like us two? Do you remember Dinwalls beer Keller they also had some good bands on there. Can you remember the names of any of the old punks and are you still in contact with any .I would love to contact some of my old mates we did have some fun. We've seen big John a few times did you know him and his Slaughter and the dogs scarf !!!!

 

I remember coming out of Rebels after punk night and getting the biggest chip butty ever from greasy Adears ( i still can not spell) covered with red sauce they tasted so good then running up to high street for the last bus.
