Memories of Roxy's Nightclub

[dizzybird77 10]

I used to go there in 93, 94, 95. Did you work there then?

 

Did anyone else go there then?

 

Used to sit down in the bottom corner with a huge group of regulars, how bout you??

When did Roxy`s close?

I used to go in the early `90s after working at the Hen and Chickens on a Saturday night, with some of the staff, one of whom I married!

 

My mom used to work at Hen & Chicks - Jackie - worked there up til around 1990's

I was a Roxy's goer in the 80's, sometimes "Grab a granny" night on Thursdays and Saturday night if we couldn't get in anywhere else.

 

Funny thing is If thought my kids were getting up to half the stuff we did and saw I would be horrified. There was a certain "Wild West" spirit during that period. If I'm honest, I think kids today are a lot more conservative than we were.
