goldenfleece   11 #25 Posted May 15, 2007 No co-incidence then that the management are working their way through dead nightclub names?  We have a DEAD NIGHTCLUB NIGHT twice a month and old Rebels is quite a big part of that as far as the set list goes, but then so is old Roxy Rock Night, The oriiginal limit, and my old night at the Leadmill.......so a name maybe is never forgotten about.....  I guess many people on this forum have fond memories of the original Rebels, Sheffields first dedicated full time rock club back in 1982 to 1994/5. I was there on the original opening night and the first song played was ONLY YOU CAN ROCK ME by UFO.....wonder if it will be the same again????  But please, no Mansfield best bitter!!!!!

If anyone tries to open a Classic Rock Bar anywhere soon, I'll have something to say about it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

goldenfleece   11 #30 Posted May 15, 2007 If that's the case, why didn't he know who Les is?  Because the chap promoting on this forum is apparently the Manager of Rebels and not the actual owner.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Â Thought i'd do a bit of "research" and found out Les was approached a while ago about being involved with Rebels again, he turned it down and went running to Mutley warning him it was planning to open. So there you go! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
