Wharncliffe Hotel, Firth Park

[GOLDEN OLDIE 15]

Does anyone know when the Wharncliffe Hotel at Firth Park first became popular as a music venue? And remember some of the names appearing in the 1960s?

Think Stabby and Shooty featured a lot towards the end of the pubs days...

I know Firth Park/S5 in general has a rep for being a bit rough, but your claim is beyond ridiculous.

Which brewery did the Wharncliffe belong to, 1970s-80s ?

In the late 60's, I, along with my mates, used to go to the Wharncliffe most Friday, Saturday and Monday nights. 

Ray Stuart was the regular DJ with bands playing most Saturday nights. I think Ray Stuart's band was Frankinstein and the Monsters and the only other band I can remember is Micky's Monkeys.

If I remember , the Landlord was a Mr Gandy, and I seem to recall it was a Whitbread house.

We had some great nights in the Wharncliffe back then.

The Cannon Hall,  Sicey Hotel, Shiregreen Hotel and The Penguine all had live bands playing at weekends and it was very rare there was any trouble,

Good times.
