ENGLANDER Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Was one of the first clubs I went to, wasn't old enough to drink so we'd get a pass out and go to the Stonehouse. Blue Bell was a bit too close, some m8's had been pulled in there for under age drinking. I remember they played some fab music. lots of the drifters, Motown and The Four Seasons. Songs I particularly remember where. Saturday Night at the Movies , My Cherie Amour and Shes Looking Good by Rodger Collins. Never had so much fun with so little alcohol since I used to go there and IS MAD MICK?

steadiman Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Down Broadway was a fabulous little place. No licence so the older ones would nip into the Blue Bell for a drink. I met my future (now ex) wife there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterRM Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 THE Penthouse seemed upmarket compared to Down Broadway.Good job The Bluebell was close otherwise you can have too many soft drinks Happy memories of the Heartbeat fell in love a few times mainly unrequieted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Trent Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 No it was definitely Jethro Tull that played at Broadway. Pete Bardens Village also appeared, and Yes if I remember correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickyboy Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 My memory of Down Broadway is standing in the shoe shop doorway with my young sisters Paintwheels toy set to spell 'MOJO'. Rolling the wheel onto the back of my mate's hands. They then smudged it and never failed to get in until they caught on at the door and changed the passout stamp. We used to go from there to the Mustard Seed. Our drinking {under age} was done in the old Mulberry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pfn1 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Hi Folks, Check out the recent Forum thread about a new Mojo book. Its about local Pop Art painted in some of Sheffields clubs in the 60s, including the Broadway. I did some of those paintings, Broadway included. There is a book signing with all three authors including Peter Stringfellow on Nov 3 at Trippetts wine bar from 7.30 onwards. Yes, the Broadway was amazingly small, and certainly was not the Mojo, but I did get some really good nights there. Incidentally, really good soul (now known as Northern) Ska, Blue Beat and Reggae had all regularly been played at the Mojo, so those sounds you heard at the Broadway were just continuing the that ideal.
