Anybody else remember Crazy Daisy?

 

I went to 'The Daizy' from1975 to 1979 (also Josaphines). I went Wednesday nights for the Roxy Nights (dressed 40's style), Friday and Saturday night plus Saturday lunchtime - Sidewalk cafe after. Loved it there. There should be a Reunion like Josephine's is doing. Great memories of doing The Roxy Dance plus watching Stuart and Steve dancing to Northern Soul. Having a chip butty from the hatch. Great DJ was Spider who played on Roxy Nights. I remember a fight where a bouncer bit off part of someone's ear!!! Drinking one Barley wine with blackcurrent and being drunk!! I had my bag stolen from the dance floor ( only a few pence in purse) in 1979 with my passport in it! I was due to fly Freddie Laker to California 2 days later! It was on front page of the Star. It was found the next behind the towel rail in ladies toilets. Passport still in my bag! Great days.

can anyone remember the cavendish nightclub ?

It opened in may 1967.

I was only sixteen at the time so it had changed to baileys

nightclub before i got in the place in the early 70's.

By then the fiesta nightclub was pulling in the big names.

Can anyone recall the artists who appeared at the cavendish

in it's early days ?

I think dusty springfield was the first artist to appear there.

went to the cavendish cub every saturday night from when it opened till it became baileys turns used to be on in the latino lounge first then later in the cavendish room here are a few just off the top ov my head four tops,little & large,the grumble weeds,

lulu,the ivy benson show band, showwady wady & matt monroe

thanks bob:)

I can remember the Cavendish Club it was a great night out. There were some great acts there. I can remember seeing Les Dawson, Little and Large The Ivy Benson Show Band to name only a few. Most of them were in the Latino Lounge. There was also another room at the back where you could dance to disco music. It seemed a really special place to go back in the "good old days"lol.

Was a student at the poly in the early 70's. Memory failing a bit now, but remember student nights at penthouse, I think Thursdays and genny's tuesdays. Used to go to mucky duck Friday lunch for go go dancers including the incredible mighty Melvin. Won a bottle of champagne at crazy daisy for being first to give DJ a pair of pants. Bier Keller was still open and nelson had a downstairs room with paintings on the wall of Bowie, Jagger etc. Wonder if they are still there behind the cladding. Those were the days my friends.
