barnsley1 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 It used to be the theme music from Hawii Five O for the speed and a really sloppy song for the pairs when we used to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gritter1960 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 did anyone out there go to the silver blades ice rink in Sheffield in the late 70's. if so can you recall the name of the instrumental track they used to play when the "speed freaks, nutters and show offs" used to take to the ice just after clearing the likes of me off the ice. I would so much like to find out what it is called, just so I can ease my mind lol. Thank you in advance for racking your brains and making an effort.

Ms Macbeth Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 We used to bring our children from Doncaster occasionally in the 70s. We'd skated quite a bit when we were young in Scotland and were disappointed there was no ice rink in Donny. Then they built the Dome, so we stopped visiting Silver Blades. I seem to remember 'Red River Valley' being played for the speed sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppypoppy Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Oh blimey.. used to go to the skates every sunday night with my friend who was a jehovas witness and we would meet up with a load of other witnesses who had come over from scunthorpe, going back to the mid 70s now. Yep I too remember the speed skating but was never a strong enough skater to take part. Oh I used to love it there it had a certain smell when you walked into it dont you think? Everyone waiting round the edges of the ice for that machine they had to smooth the ice out to finish then it was just one big pile onto the ice...oh happy days...then into the cafe at the end of the session for some chips and red sauce...Oh blimey...

Sparkgap Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 (edited) I have to agree with bracken and bluesbrother. I used to go there from 1967 until 1976 mainly on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. The music I remember being used most often for the "speed skating" intervals in the 70's was Nut Rocker by B Bumble and the Stingers. Good memories and good friends were made there.

TimeBandit52 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I was a regular at silver blades and as I recall there were two tunes, one for the speed skate and another straight after for the figure of eight (remember that ) however I think you will find one is the "Post Horn Gallop" and the other was "The Saber Dance " but I am not sure which was which. Think Im right but won`t put money on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
