St Tropez Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I have a few Sheffield facts from my dad who knew him in his youth. He passed his 11+ and got into Firth Park School but got expelled quite soon and ended up living away from his parents on Catherine St with other family members in Pitsmoor. As a kid he worked in a bread van and got his first taste of earning money. My dad said he had strange goofy teeth and was not a looker but was nice, his brother Jeff however was very handsome. His first club was Days Dancing which became Mojos in Toll Bar/Pitsmoor. His first scoop was hiring the Beatles in 62 and the venue was too small so he moved it from St Aidens Church Hall to White Lane. This then was the BIG TIME....hope you got an insight...RIP Peter, God bless. ps I once went to Stringfellows in London and asked as I was from Sheffield could I come in for free..they let me and fella in for free...big respect.

Anna B Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Did he own the Mojo Club in Sheffield? Sad news. He started with the Black Cat club on City Road, in an old Church Hall, wih brother Geoff as DJ and his mother on the door. Built it into a huge empire over the years, via the Mojo, Cinderella Rockerfella in Leeds, several other ventures, and finally Stringfellows in London, a favourite watering hole of the very rich and very famous. He takes credit for the being the first to introduce Poledancing and the 'lapdance,' whether that's true or not I don't know but it's typical of Peter to claim it. Local boy made good.

Jeffrey Shaw Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Another nail in Sheffield’s 1960s coffin True; but then that's what happens to all of us and- as in his case- several decades on. Sad, nevertheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
