Babs3 Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I remember going to Turn-ups for Radio Hallams first birthday. Can't think how we got tickets for this but it was by invitation only. Amen Corner were there but can't recall much more. Perhaps someone could come up with a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianJ Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Hey up Kirky Originally it was the Penny Farthing, and in the 60s/early 70s was the best club in town. Does anyone remember Brian Mitchell who was the DJ down there? The bouncer who used to look thro' the peephole in the door,before letting you in, was "Big Ronnie Crookes" who later went on to door at The Fiesta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
