CockyWalter Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Yo Brother M, thanks for pointing me to here. Glen the hunt sab is still in Sheff - he helped me celebrate my 40th by getting beaten up in the Red Lion at Heeley. Just down the road from where Matt the violinist from Pig64 lives actually. Mersbrook Bank Schoolyard's probaly the best place for anybody who wants to take up this thread in the flesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry_Latic Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Off topic, I know, but mention of Meersbrook reminds me that Don Valley and the Rotherhides were in that neck of the woods, and, I think, The Beloved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CockyWalter Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Yup, I know of at least one Rotherhide with kids at the school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry_Latic Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Sorry - wrists slapped. But, DV and the Rotherhides were more "punk" than some of the bands around at the time - "Waiting for the Day that Margared Thatcher's Dead" = a timeless classic. Good to read that Glen is still rocking - and that the Red Lion is still a pub. I remember the anarchist meetings in there in the 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody hell, i remember Don Valley and the Rotherhithes. And i remember that song. They used to busk on Fargate, and i'm sure I saw them at the Leadmill. i thought they were more "Psycho Billy" - don't know if you had that expression up here. Red Lion might still be here, but it's a right dump! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry_Latic Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 You're right about the Red Lion - I only went in for the meetings on Sunday nights in the back room. White Lion - much better, or better still the Broadfield - I played pool for the "third" team - along with Wak and the actor who really shot Ernie Bishop.
